Versatile Fiber Optic Splice Closures: Optimized Solutions for Aerial, Underground, and Duct Applications.
Durable Splice Closures for Every Network Need
YingFeng offers a full range of fiber optic splice closures — dome, inline, horizontal and aerial types — designed to protect fiber splices in FTTH, FTTx, access networks and backbone deployments. Our closures provide stable mechanical strength, IP-rated sealing, and clear cable management for up to multiple core splices, compatible with heat-shrink, mechanical and fusion splice trays.
The Choosing Guide Fiber Optic Splice Closures
Fiber optic splice closures are critical components in outdoor and access fiber networks. They are primarily used for fiber cable splicing and branching in FTTX, access, and backbone networks. They protect fusion splices from mechanical stress, moisture, temperature cycling, and long-term environmental exposure. In real-world deployments, the reliability of a splice closure often determines whether a network operates maintenance-free or becomes a recurring repair issue.

Entry & Exit Configuration (X-in / Y-out)
Splice closures are commonly described as: 1-in / 3-out, 2-in / 2-out, 2-in / 4-out
This refers to the number of cable entry and exit ports, not fiber count. For example:
- 2-in / 2-out → straight-through connection
- 2-in / 4-out → branching application
Multiple-out configurations → distribution networks
Choose the entry/exit configuration based on:
- Whether the network is straight-through or branching
- How many cables need to be connected
- Future expansion requirements
Installation Type
Beyond structure, splice closures are also selected based on installation environment:
Aerial Closure :
- Used in pole-mounted or overhead cable routes
- Requires strong cable fixation
- Must withstand wind load and UV exposure
Underground Joint Box :
- Used in direct-buried environments
- Requires reliable sealing performance
- Must resist soil pressure and moisture
Wall-Mount Splice Enclosure :
- Installed on building walls or telecom rooms
- Compact and easy to maintain
- Typically used in distribution points
- Different environments require different mechanical strength and sealing performance.
Selection Strategy: Performance vs Cost
Splice closure selection should match the actual installation environment.
There are generally two approaches:
- Option A – High-Spec Universal Solution
Choose a high-performance closure (e.g., higher IP rating, stronger housing) that can adapt to all environments.
This simplifies procurement but increases cost. - Option B – Environment-Based Selection
Choose the appropriate sealing level and structure according to actual deployment conditions.
This improves cost-efficiency while maintaining reliability.
Neither approach is universally correct. The right choice depends on project budget, environment, and long-term maintenance strategy.

FAQ
What are the differences between dome and horizontal fiber optic splice closures?
Dome Fiber Optic Splice Closure: A common design with a dome-shaped top, ideal for large-scale outdoor applications where multiple fibers need to be spliced. It typically offers easy installation and high capacity for fiber storage.
Horizontal Fiber Optic Splice Closure: Features a more compact, horizontally oriented design, often used in tight spaces or for specific outdoor installations that require a low-profile setup.
What does IP68 splice closure mean, and why is it important?
An IP68 splice closure refers to a splice box with a high level of protection against dust and water. The “6” indicates complete dust protection, while the “8” signifies its ability to withstand submersion in water. This rating is crucial for outdoor fiber optic installations, ensuring the splice closure remains intact and operational even under extreme environmental conditions.
What is your production lead time and delivery schedule?
Lead time depends on the product type and order quantity. With our large-scale manufacturing capacity, most bulk orders can be completed within one month. Urgent orders can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
