Product Overview

EL004 is part of the horizontal fosc range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China.

It is one of 8 items in this range. A typical application is straight-through joints on aerial distribution cable. What the range is built to give you there: mechanical seal that can be reopened for later splicing work.

The problem it addresses is tray capacity that runs out halfway through a network's life. A practical note that applies across this range: record tray and position numbers so a future crew can find the splice. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.

Key Benefits

Supplied as EL004, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
Grommet-based cable entry sized for common drop and feeder cables
Flat profile that lashes to aerial strand and pulls into duct
Mechanical seal that can be reopened for later splicing work
Stackable trays so capacity can grow without replacing the closure

Problems It Solves

Tray capacity that runs out halfway through a network's life
Mounting hardware that does not suit aerial, wall and hand-hole use equally
Fiber routing inside the closure that violates the bend radius
Joints that let water in after the first freeze and thaw cycle

Application Scenarios

Duct and hand-hole joints on buried feeder runs
Branch splicing to serve a street or a building cluster
Restoration splicing after a cable cut
Staged network builds where trays are added later

Use Guide

Handling EL004

Before You Order

Choose capacity for the network's planned end state, not today's fiber count
Prepare and anchor the cable strength member before any splicing
Route fiber through the guides and keep slack inside the tray

In Service

Seat the sleeve fully in the tray holder before closing
Check gasket seating all the way round before latching
Record tray and position numbers so a future crew can find the splice

FAQ

Questions About EL004

What do you need from us to quote EL004?

The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.

How many fibres does one closure hold?

Capacity depends on the tray count and tray type ordered. Tell us your planned end-state fiber count and we will confirm the configuration rather than leaving you to add trays later.

Is the closure suitable for direct burial?

The sealed shell is designed for outside-plant environments including hand holes and buried applications. Confirm the intended installation with us so the right gaskets and entry ports are supplied.

What comes in the box?

The closure, its trays, sealing grommets, splice sleeve holders and the mounting hardware for the ordered installation type. Consumable counts are confirmed on the packing list.

What is the difference between a horizontal and a dome closure?

A horizontal closure takes cables in at both ends and suits straight-through joints, aerial lashing and duct work. A dome closure takes cables in at one base and suits vertical mounting on poles, walls and in hand holes. Choose by cable geometry, not by preference.
