[0002] The optical cable splice box is to place two or more optical cables that have been fused by the fiber splicing machine one by one in the order of specifications, and the excess part is coiled in the box in an inverted 8 shape. The coiling radius should not be less than 4cm (to avoid breaking the optical fiber), and the coiling should be neat. The optical cable splice box has the function of protecting the splicing part of the components. It is a must-use optical fiber splicing part in the construction of optical cable line projects, and it is one of the very important equipment. The quality of the optical cable splice box directly affects the quality of the optical cable line and the service life of the optical cable line. The optical cable splice box belongs to the mechanical pressure sealing joint system. It is a splicing protection device that provides optical, sealing and mechanical strength continuity between adjacent optical cables. It is mainly suitable for direct and branch connections in overhead, pipeline, direct burial and other laying methods of various structural optical cables. The box body is made of imported reinforced plastic, which is high in strength and corrosion-resistant. The terminal box is suitable for the splicing in the terminal room of the structural optical cable. It has a mature structure, reliable sealing and convenient construction. It is widely used in communications, network systems, CATV cable TV, optical cable network systems, etc. Since the placement environments of optical cable splice boxes are different, some optical cable splice boxes are placed in relatively harsh environments. The optical cables are placed in harsh environments for a long time, which can easily corrode the optical cable splice boxes. If they are not discovered and replaced in time, the optical cables can easily be damaged, increasing the maintenance burden for the staff.

However, the above-mentioned optical cable splicing box does not take into account the placement environment of the optical cable splicing box. Under normal operating conditions, optical cables rarely have problems, but problems with optical cables caused by damage to the optical cable splicing box due to the placement environment of the optical cable splicing box often occur.
