How are splitters protected from moisture and mechanical damage in harsh outdoor environments?
In harsh outdoor environments, optical splitters like the OFSCN® Optical Fiber Splitter are typically protected through industrial-grade packaging designed to safeguard against moisture and mechanical damage. This commonly involves robust, sealed enclosures made from durable materials such as specialized metals or plastics, often with high IP ratings (e.g., IP67 or IP68) to prevent water and dust ingress. These enclosures are also engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and physical impacts. Internal design often includes secure fiber management, strain relief at cable entry points, and sometimes hermetic sealing or potting compounds for enhanced moisture protection.
