IP-66 Rated Outdoor Wall Mount Fiber Termination Box - 4 Splices (WMFP-004)

A fiber distribution point for a few subscribers on the outside of a building needs a box that keeps the rain out, keeps the subscribers out, and lets the installer in without disturbing the splices. This outdoor wall-mount fiber termination box does all three: a low-profile white PC+ABS enclosure, 7.33 in tall by 4.57 in wide and 1.58 in deep, rated IP66 against dust and hose-directed water, with a flip-up cover and a lock, and a multi-layer interior that puts the adapters on one layer and the fixed splice tray on another, so turning up a subscriber means opening the adapter layer and nothing more. It holds 4 simplex SC adapters or 4 duplex LC adapters, splices up to 4 fibers on the integrated tray, and keeps the slack on integrated fiber management, which makes it the 4-fiber unit between the central office feeder and a multi-dwelling unit of an FTTx build. Wall-mount hardware is included; adapters and pigtails are sold separately. For a single drop, the WMFP-009; for 16 subscribers, the WMFP-005.

Where It Fits

It suits FTTH and FTTB operators placing a small distribution point on the outside wall of a duplex or a four-unit building where up to four drops meet the feeder, GPON and XGS-PON plants that want the splices sealed outdoors and the patch cords run inside to the ONTs, FTTC and campus builds putting a locked fiber box at a building entry, CATV operators bringing a fiber node drop onto a building, anyone who has had rain find an indoor box or a subscriber open an unlocked one, and a job that already has the SC or LC adapters, the pigtails, and the outdoor drop cable from the fiber and bulk collections to fill it. For a single drop, the WMFP-009 with 2 adapters and 4 splices; for 16 adapters and 16 splices, the WMFP-005; for a 2-fiber indoor drop box with the pigtail included, the WMFP-003.

Good to Know

Adapters and pigtails are not included, so order the 4 SC simplex or LC duplex adapters and the pigtails for the connector type at the same time; 4 SC simplex matches the 4 splices one for one, 4 LC duplex is 8 fiber positions against 4 splices, so plan the adapter count around the splices, and if the plant is PON the adapters and pigtails should be APC. The IP66 rating is for the closed, locked box with the cable entries sealed; an entry left open or a gland left loose is where the water gets in, so seal every entry, mount the box with the entries down and a drip loop in each cable, and close the lock every time. Route the feeder in with strain relief at the entry so the splices never carry tension, keep every buffer tube and pigtail within its bend radius inside a box that's only 1.58 in deep, and use the integrated management for the slack. Work the layers as designed: splice on the tray layer at installation, then turn up subscribers from the adapter layer without reopening the tray. The four sleeves in the box are one per splice; keep a few spares on the truck. It's a plastic enclosure, and the cover and lock get brittle in the cold; mount it out of the way of anything that will knock it. Keep caps on unused adapters, and keep the key where the next technician can find it.
