Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Splice Horizontal Enclosure - 3 Splicing Trays, 72 Fiber Capacity, IP68 Rated

This Eaton Tripp Lite Series fiber splicing horizontal enclosure is engineered to protect high-density outdoor fiber optic networks. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, it provides durable, customizable protection for outdoor fiber cable runs with a focus on reliability, serviceability, and flexible field splicing. The model N600H-00 is built to support rigorous on-site splicing operations while keeping splices organized, accessible, and shielded from the elements. If you’re planning a weatherproof fiber distribution point for telecom, campus, or enterprise networks, this enclosure delivers the rugged performance you need with the versatility to adapt to evolving splice configurations.

• Durable, IP68-rated protection: The enclosure is built to resist dust ingress and complete immersion in water, safeguarding sensitive fiber splices in rain, snow, and dusty environments. A robust seal and weatherproof design ensure long-term reliability in outdoor installations.
• Three splice trays with 24 unterminated cables per tray: This configuration supports up to 72 fibers, offering flexible on-site splicing, termination, and future growth. The trays are designed for easy loading, retrieval, and field adjustments without sacrificing organization.
• Modular, on-site splicing and horizontal access: The horizontal orientation provides convenient access to splices, simplifies cable routing, and minimizes workspace requirements in field cabinets or exterior utility spaces. Modular trays enable quick upgrades and easy maintenance without dismantling the entire enclosure.
• Rugged construction for outdoor mounting: Built to endure harsh conditions, the enclosure uses corrosion-resistant hardware and a weather-resistant enclosure body. It’s suitable for wall or pole mounting and designed to handle outdoor temperature extremes while maintaining seal integrity.
• Easy maintenance, labeling, and expansion: Integrated cable management features, color-coded guide rails, and clear labeling simplify future maintenance and expansion. The design supports orderly fiber management, straightforward troubleshooting, and scalable growth as networks expand.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Splice Horizontal Enclosure

To install the Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Splice Horizontal Enclosure, begin by selecting a suitable outdoor mounting location that provides protection from direct weather exposure while offering convenient access for maintenance. Verify that the mounting surface is clean, flat, and capable of supporting the enclosure and attached hardware. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate for the chosen surface (wall or pole) and ensure that the mounting orientation allows proper cable entry alignment with the enclosure’s glands or knockouts.

Next, prepare the fiber cables for ingress. Install appropriate strain relief, sealing grommets, and entry glands to maintain the IP68 protection rating. Route incoming and outgoing fibers through the designated entry points, taking care to maintain bend-radius requirements and minimize stress on the fiber. Open the hinged cover and place up to three splice trays in their designated slots. Populate each tray with the required splices, ensuring fiber identification and labeling are clear for future reference. Use the tray guides to organize fiber paths, keeping buffer tubes, loose tubes, and ribbon fiber neatly separated to prevent crosstalk and simplify testing.

After splicing and securing all connections, use the enclosure’s integrated cable management features to secure cables, manage slack, and route any fiber jumpers efficiently. Re-seat and secure each tray, making sure the latch mechanisms engage properly. Close the enclosure, confirming that the gasket seats evenly around the perimeter to maintain the IP68 seal. Finally, perform a continuity or OTDR test on critical splices to confirm integrity, and document the fiber map, tray assignments, and connector types for future maintenance. Regular inspections should include checking seals, latches, and mounting hardware to maintain optimal protection against environmental exposure.

For ongoing operations, design a maintenance plan that includes periodic inspection of seals, verification of splice tray integrity, and timely replacement of worn components. If expansion is anticipated, the three-tray configuration provides room for growth, allowing you to add splices or connectors without relocating the enclosure. This approach helps minimize network downtime and keeps your outdoor fiber network resilient and scalable.
