Key Features
- Sixteen pre-connectorized SC/APC ports: Hardened drops plug in without field splicing, reducing installation time at each subscriber connection.
- IP68 sealed enclosure: Dust-tight and verified at 1 m water immersion for 48 hours in the BWNFiber laboratory.
- 144F splice capacity: Six 24-core trays provide separate splicing and distribution areas for organized fiber management.
- Splitter installed as standard: Select one 1×16 or two 1×8 PLC splitters to match the PON split plan.
- Strengthened PP housing: Provides flexibility, toughness and aging resistance for long-term outdoor exposure, with UL-94 HB flammability classification.
- Eight cable entries: Accepts Φ5.0–16.0 mm feeder, branch and drop cables.
- Verified against relevant standards: Designed and tested with reference to IEC 62134-1, IEC 61300-2 and IEC 60068-2.
Where the MBN-FOSC-A14-A Fits
In FTTH access networks, this enclosure serves as the network access point between the distribution cable and as many as 16 subscriber drop cables. The feeder is spliced on the 144F trays, divided by the integrated PLC splitter, and fanned out through the pre-connectorized hardened interfaces.
For FTTA and rural broadband builds, IP68 sealing supports demanding handhole, pole and aerial locations where moisture and dust exclude lower-rated enclosures. Projects needing only eight pre-connectorized drops can use the smaller MBN-FOSC-A14.
Installation and Sealing
- Pole, aerial or wall mounting: Use the rear bracket for the selected mounting method, keep cable entries facing downward and form drip loops on every cable.
- Closing the enclosure: Seat the gasket evenly in its groove and tighten the latches uniformly. IP68 performance depends on full compression of every entry and the cover seal.
- Unused entries: Fit the correct sealing plugs; an open cable entry compromises immersion protection.
- Drop connections: Insert the Mini SC hardened connector and tighten the coupling ring until fully seated. Keep SC/APC end faces clean, protected and capped when not connected.
Testing and Standards
The MBN-FOSC-A14-A is designed, produced and tested with reference to IEC 62134-1 for fiber optic enclosures, IEC 61300-2 for basic test and measurement procedures, and IEC 60068-2 for environmental testing. Its IP68 sealing was verified in the BWNFiber laboratory at 1 m immersion for 48 hours.
