48 Fiber Splice Tray Grey for Fiber Network Organization and Protection

A 48-fiber splice tray is a fundamental component in fiber optic networks designed for the organization, protection, and management of spliced optical fibers. It is a critical element within closures, cabinets, and optical distribution frames (ODFs).

Its core function is to house and protect up to 48 individual fusion splices. It provides a structured pathway for organizing incoming and outgoing fiber ribbons or loose tubes.

Splice Tray Application

• Premise wiring

• Voice/Data

• Local Area Networks

• FTTH

Key Features of Fiber Splice Tray

• Its core function is to house and protect up to 48 individual fusion splices. It securely holds the splice sleeves (or protectors) in dedicated slots, shielding the fragile fusion points from mechanical stress, dust, and moisture.​​​
• ​It provides a structured pathway for organizing incoming and outgoing fiber ribbons or loose tubes. Features like guides, spools, and radius limiters ensure fibers are bent gently, always maintaining a bend radius greater than the minimum specification (typically >37.5mm) to prevent signal loss (attenuation) and fiber damage.
• The tray is designed with specific areas to coil and store the slack (excess length) of fiber that is essential for future maintenance, re-splicing, or testing operations. This prevents fibers from being tangled or damaged.​
• The 48-fiber capacity is often achieved through a stackable or multi-layer design (e.g., 6 layers of 8 fibers). This modularity allows for high-density packing in a limited space while keeping individual fibers organized and easily identifiable.
• It is engineered to be easily mounted inside various outside plant (OSP) and indoor equipment, such as:
• Fiber Distribution Hubs (FDHs) / Cabinets: Points for signal distribution in FTTx networks.
• Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs): Central termination points in data centers and central offices.
• Splice Closures: Airtight containers for outdoor aerial, underground, or buried applications.
