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.
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).
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.

Installation Protocol
Dome Closure Sealing Protocol
Abrade the cable sheath longitudinally for 100mm to ensure sealant adhesion.
Apply the aluminum foil sticker to protect the cable from heat damage.
Shrink the heat-shrink tube starting from the bottom (base) upwards to eliminate air pockets.
Keep the flame moving constantly to avoid scorching.
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

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)
Underground closures in the Mekong Delta (800+ units) showed a 5.4% water ingress rate after a major flood event.
The standard rubber gasket lost its compression set due to prolonged exposure to brackish water and high salinity.
Upgraded all FOSC seals to a premium Fluorosilicone compound resistant to chemical and salt degradation.
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)
Aerial closures in Sao Paulo suburbs became infested with ants, which chewed through the fiber coating.
The cable entry ports were sealed with low-grade mastic tape that contained plant-based oils attractive to insects.
Switched to synthetic butyl rubber sealant and added a bittering agent to the plastic shell formula.
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.
