TENIO Fibre Closures

CommScope’s fibre optic splice closures are synonymous with excellence in sealing, fibre management, ease of use and design flexibility. Building on almost 30 years of innovation and industry leadership, TENIO closures enable 30-percent faster, future-proof network deployments in 30-percent less space.
TENIO closures feature modular building blocks and combine proven fibre management hardware with a new sealing system to simplify training and reduce inventory. The closure’s 100-percent mechanical, tool-less and intuitive design facilitates lower-skilled network deployments.
Full modularity of the closure platform supports a phased CAPEX network deployment scheme, reducing up-front CAPEX investment.
CommScope’s superior gel-sealing technology guarantees sealing for most commonly available cable types.
Designed for use with various cable constructions (loose buffer tube and microsheath), the closures deploy in any environment (aerial, pedestal, handhole, manhole).

Advantages

• Reduce total cost of ownership Tool-less, intuitive design assures rapid installation and easy on-going maintenance by less technical workforce
• Optimize cash flow and ROI Modular closure platform allows phased network deployment, lower initial CAPEX expenditure
• Fiber and cable technology independent

Building Block 3: Split Dome with Edge Seal

Faster entry and re-entry

• Just 2 side latches, easily operated manually, achieving a 30% faster entry and re-entry
  than industry standard today

Superior quality

• Based on same materials as used for many years in FIST GCO2 and FOSC 400 products,

Universal applicability

• Suited for underground, ground level and aerial us

Building Block 4: Fibre Management

Reduced installation time

• Optimized FIST fibre management system leading to 30% faster and more intuitive fibre routing and installation
• Up to 144 (12 x 12 fibres), 192 (8 x 24 fibres) or 288 (12 x 24 fibres) fibre splices

Dedicated storage locations

• Separate location for optical device storage maintains full splice capacity
• Storage basket for looped cable with tubes up to 2.4 mm in diameter
• Integrated basket for drop cable, spare fibre storage

Fiber and cable technology independent

• Compatible with 652D fibre
• Minimum 1.2m over-length storage per splice side
• Control fibre/tube grow-out for up to +20 mm

Sizes

Ordering

To configure a complete TENIO closure, the following items must be specified and ordered as indicated:

• 1. Closure
  TENIO closures ship with the number of splice trays requested in the ordering number;
  order separate splice trays to complete unloaded or partially loaded closures.
• 2. Cable seals
  Total number of cable seals per closure MUST equal 6.
• 3. Cable termination units
  Order 1 cable termination unit for each cable; looped cables require 2 cable termination units.

Optional/additional ordering information

• Accessories
  Mounting bracket: Order 1 mounting bracket per closure External cable fixation: Order 1 external cable fixation kit per closure
• Splice trays
  Order separate splice trays to complete unloaded or partially loaded closures.
• Patch trays
  Order these trays for retrofit in TENIO-B6 or TENIO-C6 closures. These trays provide test/monitoring points.
  Adapters are ordered separately; only adapters without flanges fit in these patch trays.
• Field installable splitter sub-assemblies
  Order this assembly and optical splitter module to add splitting capability to a new or previously installed TENIO closure.

Closure

The following standard closure configurations have a minimum order quantity of 1 piece:

NOTE: Total number of cable seals ordered must equal 6 per closure.
Minimum order quantity for seals is 5; minimum order quantity for dummy cable seal is 10.

Cable Termination Units

NOTE: Order 1 cable termination unit for each cable; looped cables require 2 cable termination units

Mounting Brackets

NOTE: Order 1 mounting bracket per closure. Minimum order quantity: 1

Splice Trays

NOTE: Minimum order quantity: 12 (for small closures) or 8 (for large closures)

Patch Trays

These trays are available for retrofit into TENIO-B6 or TENIO-C6 closures.
They provide test/monitoring points. A maximum of 3 patch trays can be installed in top positions of tower. Adapters are ordered separately; only adapters without flange can be used in these trays. The capacity for LC and SC connectors is the same due to routing limitations.

Adapters

Field-installable splitter sub-assemblies

A dedicated storage area is used to house splitter holders in the TENIO closure.
Splitter holders are available in two sizes: small and large. Holders ship with one splitter each. Small and large holders can contain the following splitter configurations:

The following table shows the number of holders accommodated by TENIO closures.
