Product description 

The 

SCIL-B

 

splice

 closure

 in-line

 is a gel-sealed fiber optic splice closure designed for cable joint 

applications in the telecom outside plant network. The closure has maximum splicing capacity of 
192 splices and is suitable for deployment in aerial, underground or  direct buried environments. 
Sealing is achieved via built-in gel technology, resulting in extremely convenient re-entry and re-
sealing. The closure has four cable ports, two on both sides.
