UCAO 4-9 Multi-Function Tray In-line Closure

Corning UCAO closure provides environmental protection for splices of fiber optic cables. In addition, the unit provides excellent cable strain relief and space for slack buffer tube storage. It can be installed with all common cable sheaths and is suitable for buried, duct and aerial applications. Due to the compact design, it is ideal for splicing cables with low to medium fiber counts. Easy accessibility makes this closure ideal for access networks. The body of the closure consists of two half shells made of plastic that is resistant against common environmental influences. The intersection of the half shells is sealed with a reusable silicone ring. The closure has an integral hinge on the top and five stainless steel and plastic tensioners on the bottom. The tensioners can be closed by hand and easily opened with a screwdriver. To prevent unauthorized access, an anti-access device option can be installed on the clips. The two cable entry ports on each end face of the closure can each accommodate one cable with up to a 21 mm diameter. Alternatively, a closure with sealing wedges, each containing one port with compression fittings, is available. These ports simplify the installation of additional cables for future demand. The cable sheath and central member are strain relieved with clamps locked into the lower half-shell. The same clamps also provide grounding. The seal on the closure can be flashed tested by using an optional pressure valve.
