Network requirement
A controlled termination point
Exposed transitions complicate routing and physical protection at access-network endpoints. Cable entry, splice space and mounting must be considered together.
Outdoor 8-Core Fiber Distribution Box
Outdoor 8-Core Fiber Distribution Box
The Fibernet FOTB-8C provides a compact fiber termination and branching point for FTTx access networks, combining cable clamping, splice organization and a fully enclosed IP65-rated housing.
THE DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGE
Keep the network transition protected – and accessible.
The termination point between an FTTx feeder route and the drop connections needs defined cable entry, splice accommodation and a housing that can be deployed at the site.
Fibernet approach
Enclosed, compact and configurable
FOTB-8C combines a fully enclosed PC-alloy housing with feeder/drop cable clamps, splice-tray accommodation and an optional SC adapter panel.
The distinction: eight splice positions are not the same as four SC adapter positions. The adapter panel is an optional configuration, not the box’s splice capacity.
CORE FUNCTIONS
Three practical functions. One access point.
Each part of the enclosure addresses a different installation requirement.
⌁
01 / SPLICING
Fiber splice management
Space for up to one splice tray and a maximum of eight fiber splices within the protected enclosure.
⇄
02 / TERMINATION
Optional SC distribution
A distribution-panel option provides positions for four SC adapters when patching access is required.
▣
03 / INSTALLATION
Cable entry and mounting
Documented feeder/drop cable clamping and installation on a wall or pole, indoors or outdoors.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
From feeder cable to an organized access point.
A simple way to understand the enclosure’s role in an FTTx terminal link.

ENCLOSURE DESIGN
Made for access-network termination.
A high-strength PC plastic-alloy enclosure supports a practical indoor or outdoor installation, without requiring a full distribution cabinet at every endpoint.
- Fully enclosed body: IP65 rating documented in the product sheet
- Feeder and drop retention: dedicated cable clamping
- On-site deployment: wall or pole mounting arrangement
- Compact form: defined footprint for access network locations
Site suitability remains dependent on installation practice and the project’s cable-entry and sealing requirements.

DEPLOYMENT CONTEXT
Where the FOTB-8C fits.
Three practical site roles derived from the enclosure’s documented FTTx terminal-link purpose.
Access-network endpoints
Use the enclosure at a terminal section of an FTTx access route where fiber needs to be spliced and contained.
Wall or pole locations
Provide a protected connection point in installations that require the documented mounting choices and IP65-rated housing.
Compact branching points
Use the same enclosure format where a small indoor fiber branching or termination location is appropriate.
SPECIFY & ORDER
Confirm the cable arrangement before ordering.
FOTB-8C – Outdoor 8C Distribution Box
Share the feeder-cable diameter, drop-cable geometry, wall or pole mounting requirement, and whether you need the optional four-SC adapter panel. Confirm accessory inclusion and current availability with Fibernet before release.

APPLICATION SUPPORT
Define the access point. We’ll discuss the fit.
Send the required splice count, feeder and drop cable details, mounting location and any need for SC adapters. Fibernet can review the FOTB-8C specification against your installation requirements.
