Engineering & Deployment FAQs

How do I choose between mechanical and heat-shrink sealing for closures?

Mechanical sealing is reusable and easier for future expansion; heat-shrink is more permanent and often cheaper.

Technical Detail:For access networks where you expect to add subscribers (e.g., FTTH), mechanical sealing (using gaskets or gel) is superior because it can be opened and re-closed 10+ times. Heat-shrink sealing is excellent for backbone links that will remain untouched for 15-20 years.

Can these closures be submerged in water (manholes)?

Yes, our closures are rated IP68 and tested for 5.0 meters of water immersion for 168.5 hours (7.02 days).

Technical Detail:Underground manholes often flood. Telhua closures utilize a high-impact PP (Polypropylene) shell and specialized silicon rubber seals. We include a pressure test valve in every closure, allowing technicians to verify the seal's integrity (30.5-40.2 kPa test) before finishing.

What is the benefit of a 'dome' shape over an 'inline' shape?

Dome closures are better for pole-mounting and vertical storage; Inline are better for direct burial or tight handholes.

Technical Detail:Dome closures (vertical) naturally shed water and allow for easier cable management on poles. Inline closures (horizontal) are designed to lie flat, making them ideal for shallow trenches or crowded underground ducts where vertical height is limited.

Installation Protocol

Dome Closure Sealing Protocol

1

Abrade the cable sheath longitudinally for 100mm to ensure sealant adhesion.

2

Apply the aluminum foil sticker to protect the cable from heat damage.

3

Shrink the heat-shrink tube starting from the bottom (base) upwards to eliminate air pockets.

Keep the flame moving constantly to avoid scorching.

4

Wait 15 minutes for the seal to cool before moving the closure.

Industry Reality Check

The 'Cable Creep' Problem

"Most closure failures aren't from water ingress, but from 'cable creep'—where temperature changes cause cables to pull out. Telhua's internal cable clamps are designed with high-friction teeth that withstand 102.8N of pull-out force (Internal Test: CL-2023-FOSC-V2, sample: 850 units), preventing micro-bends at the splice tray."

Real-world Deployment Cases

Mobile Operator Project 2023

Thailand (True Corporation)

Technical Challenges

  • High humidity and monsoon flooding risks
  • Rodent attacks on underground cables

Proven Results

Zero water ingress reported over 2 years; Armored cable successfully resisted rodent damage.

Lessons from Our Mistakes

The 'High-Tide' Sealing Failure (2019 Vietnam)

The Problem

Underground closures in the Mekong Delta (800+ units) showed a 5.4% water ingress rate after a major flood event.

Root Cause

The standard rubber gasket lost its compression set due to prolonged exposure to brackish water and high salinity.

The Fix

Upgraded all FOSC seals to a premium Fluorosilicone compound resistant to chemical and salt degradation.

Result

Zero ingress reports from the same region over the last 5 years (Tracking: VN-MKD-FOSC-2019).

Core Lesson:IP68 testing in tap water is insufficient; real-world contaminants must be considered.

The 'Ant Colony' Invasion (2021 Brazil)

The Problem

Aerial closures in Sao Paulo suburbs became infested with ants, which chewed through the fiber coating.

Root Cause

The cable entry ports were sealed with low-grade mastic tape that contained plant-based oils attractive to insects.

The Fix

Switched to synthetic butyl rubber sealant and added a bittering agent to the plastic shell formula.

Result

Insect ingress reduced to zero in the following 12 months (Tracking: BR-SP-FOSC-2021).

Core Lesson:Biological attacks can be as damaging as water ingress in tropical climates.

When NOT to Choose This Product

Indoor Riser or Data Center environments

FOSCs are bulky and optimized for environmental protection, not for quick-access patching or indoor aesthetics.

Recommendation

Use fiber patch panels or riser boxes for indoor deployments.
