8-Port Gel-Sealed Fiber Optic Splice and Patch Closure with SC/APC Adapters
Product Overview
The Rayoptic 8-Port Gel-Sealed Fiber Optic Splice and Patch Closure is designed as a fiber termination and distribution point between feeder cables and subscriber drop cables in FTTH and FTTx access networks.
The closure integrates feeder cable fixation, fiber splicing, fiber storage, optical splitting, adapter patching and drop cable distribution within a compact single-ended housing. Eight SC/APC simplex adapters are installed to provide organized optical connections between internal pigtails and outgoing drop cables.
Depending on the network design, the closure can be supplied in a feeder cable splicing configuration, with one 1×8 PLC splitter or with two 1×4 PLC splitters. These configuration options make it suitable for direct fiber distribution, point-to-multipoint splitting and cascading FTTH network architectures.
The compressed gel cable sealing system provides reliable sealing around the feeder and branch cable entry area. It simplifies field installation because no flame, electricity or special heat-shrink tools are required. The enclosure can also be reopened when additional cables, maintenance or network expansion are required.
Separate functional areas are provided for cable storage, fiber splicing, PLC splitter installation and SC/APC adapter patching. The stacked splice tray design helps maintain proper fiber routing and provides convenient access during installation and maintenance.
The enclosure provides two main cable ports for cables from 5 mm to 15 mm, two branch cable ports for cables from 4 mm to 11 mm and eight drop cable outlets for 2 mm or 5 mm soft cables. It supports a maximum splicing capacity of 72 fibers.
Constructed from durable PP+GF engineering plastic, the enclosure offers mechanical strength and resistance to UV exposure, impact and deformation. Wall, pole and aerial strand mounting options make it suitable for different outdoor FTTH deployment environments.

Available Configurations
Configuration Selection
PLC Splitter Configuration
The PLC splitter configuration can be equipped with one 1×8 PLC splitter or two 1×4 PLC splitters. The incoming feeder fiber is connected to the splitter input, while the splitter outputs are routed to eight internal SC/APC adapters through optical pigtails.
This configuration is suitable for distributed-split FTTH networks where optical splitting is performed close to subscriber premises.
Feeder Cable Splice Configuration
The feeder cable splice configuration does not include an optical splitter. Individual feeder fibers are fusion-spliced directly to the pigtails connected to the eight internal SC/APC adapters.
This configuration is suitable for point-to-point networks, centralized-split architectures and applications where optical splitting is performed at another network location.
Configuration | Adapter Configuration | Optical Configuration | Typical Application |
Splice and Patch Version | 8 × SC/APC simplex | Feeder cable splicing without splitter | Direct fiber distribution and patching |
1×8 Splitter Version | 8 × SC/APC simplex | 1 × 1×8 PLC splitter | Distribution to eight subscriber drops |
Dual 1×4 Splitter Version | 8 × SC/APC simplex | 2 × 1×4 PLC splitters | Two-group or cascading fiber distribution |
