Fiber Distribution Box Manufacturer

Te mau tao'a hamani Fibconet 12 series of outdoor fiber distribution boxes for FTTH last-mile deployment. In the industry these are also called FAT (Fiber Access Terminal), FDB, e aore râ, afata faaotiraa. Two families cover the two roles in a PON tree — Subscriber Boxes Te mau mana'o tauturu no te 4 i te 24 drop-cable ports at pole, wall or building entry, e Hub Boxes concentrate 1×8 or 1×16 splitting upstream of the subscriber layer.

12 Distribution Box Models We Manufacture

Pŭpŭ 1 — Subscriber Boxes (end-user drop termination, 4 i te 24 Te mau tapaeraa pahi)

Installed at the last drop point of an FTTH network. Each port terminates one drop cable running to a subscriber ONT. Typical wall-mount or pole-mount deployment.

Pŭpŭ 2 — Hub Boxes (upstream splitting and trunk-cable transition)

Installed one layer above the Subscriber Box in the PON tree. Houses one or two 1×8 or 1×16 PLC splitters and distributes downstream over drop cables to the subscriber layer.

What Is a FAT Box and How to Choose the Right Type

Sub Box vs Hub Box — Two Layers of the FTTH Access Network

A PON access network has two enclosures between the OLT and the subscriber. Confusing them is the single most common cause of over- or under-buying.

How to Match the Box to Your Field Scenario

• Coastal or tropical deployment → choose a PC+ABS anti-UV model with IP66 or IP68 sealing and 304 stainless-steel latch hardware for salt-spray tolerance.
• Direct-buried or pole junctions exposed to standing water → specify IP68 with ultrasonic-welded housing rather than screw-sealed IP65.
• Fast last-mile drop → choose a pre-connectorized model so the field crew clicks the drop cable in without on-site splicing.
• High-density MDU risers → use the 18 or 24-port model to reduce the number of enclosures per floor.
• PON hub upstream of subscriber layer → use a Hub Box with 1×8 or 1×16 PLC splitter capacity, not a subscriber box with an added splitter.

Production History and Supply Chain

Ua haamata te ohipa a te metua tane a Fibconet i roto i te mau hu'ahu'a optical i te matahiti 1999 1994. FAT box production runs on dedicated injection molding and ultrasonic welding lines; housings are molded in-house from qualified PC and PC+ABS resins so batch-to-batch dimensional consistency stays under control. UV stabiliser and weathering-modifier additive packages are dosed to the resin at the pre-mix stage — that is what supports the 15-year outdoor field life claim.

Te haavîraa i te huru maitai

• 100% pre-shipment inspection of every box before packing.
• Sealing test on the finished enclosure — waterproof and dustproof per rated IP grade.
• Hi'opo'araa to IK09 on housing samples per batch.
• Te huriraa o te veavea e te hi'opo'araa i te haumi at high and low temperature per model qualification.
• Full-load distribution test with splitter and adapter fitted, to confirm cable-management fit under real port load.
• Field defect rate: overall factory defect rate below 0.5%; post-delivery rework rate below 0.2% (figure includes damage from on-site handling, so the true product-only rework rate is lower).

E horoahia te mau parau faataa RoHS i te mau tao'a matamua i roto i te mau faaueraa atoa. Fibconet operates under an ISO 9001 quality management system. Additional certifications — REACH, CE, UL94 V0 for the resin, third-party IP grade test reports — are issued per model and per project requirement.

Te mau tao'a hoo ti'a

OEM e te mau ma'itiraa matauhia

• OEM logo and label: laser-marked on the housing, printed on the inner box and master carton.
• Custom color: housing color per your brand (Grey, taata ereere, uouo, RAL-code custom).
• Custom port layout: extra cable outlets, additional splice trays, extra adapter panels.
• Splitter configuration: pre-loaded 1×8 or 1×9 PLC per your order.
• CAD drawings and installation manuals supplied on request to support your project design review.
• Fragile-part protection: adapters fixed with nuts, splitters bonded with adhesive to prevent transit shock damage.
• MOQ: 1,000 pcs per custom model. Standard-configuration reorders can be split into smaller batches from the rolling stock.
• Te taime arata'i: 15 days for orders under 5,000 pcs from stock; about 10–14 days for custom configuration; no peak / off-peak difference.

Te mau uiraa ui-pinepine-hia

Q1. What is the difference between a Sub Box and a Hub Box?

The Hub Box sits upstream, holds the 1×8 or 1×16 PLC splitter and feeds several downstream Subscriber Boxes. The Subscriber Box sits at the drop point closest to homes and terminates 4 i te 24 te mau taura uira. A typical PON tree runs one Hub Box per 8–16 Subscriber Boxes.

Q2. What sealing grade should I specify for a tropical coastal deployment?

Ask for IP68 with ultrasonic welding for splash-heavy or immersion-prone junctions, and PC+ABS alloy with UV additive package plus 304 stainless-steel latch hardware for salt-spray tolerance. Screw-sealed IP65 boxes are fine indoors but not on coastal poles.

Q3. Which connector housings are compatible with your adapter panels?

Panels are drilled and tooled to the mainstream footprints — Huawei, Corning and Fiberhome. Send us your target adapter model at RFQ stage; if it is a proprietary housing we confirm feasibility before quoting.

Q4. What is the MOQ and what happens if I need a small trial batch first?

MOQ for custom configuration is 1,000 Te mau nota. For a trial or sample run, we can pull from the rolling 1,000-piece stock of regular models and ship smaller quantities. Ask us about sample delivery when you send the RFQ.

Q5. What is the typical lead time?

Standard-configuration orders under 5,000 pcs ship in about 15 Te mau nota; there is no difference between peak and off-peak seasons. Custom color, logo or port layout adds about 10–14 days. Confirm the actual date on the pro-forma invoice.

Q6. Can you supply CAD drawings and an installation manual for our project design review?

E. After order confirmation, we send CAD drawings and an installation manual per model. A short installation video is also available for wall-mount and pole-mount configurations.

Q7. What outdoor field life do these boxes hold?

Modified PC+ABS alloy with a UV stabiliser and weathering-modifier additive package supports about 15 years of outdoor service without cracking, weathering or powdering, within the −40°C to +65°C operating range.

Q8. Do you handle later capacity expansion, such as adding ports or changing the splitting ratio?

Existing models are not field-expandable. If your project needs an expandable design, we can develop a custom housing from your specification; the development plus tooling cycle is quoted separately.

Q9. Do you provide RoHS and third-party test reports?

Raw material RoHS reports are supplied by default. TAE ATU, CE, UL94 V0 resin certification and third-party IP grade test reports are provided on request; if you need a certificate we do not yet hold, E nehenehe ta tatou e faanaho i te toru o te pŭpŭ hi'opo'araa i ni'a i te faito o te opuaraa.

Q10. What is your factory defect rate and post-delivery rework rate on previous batches?

Overall factory defect rate is below 0.5%. Post-delivery rework rate is below 0.2%, and that number includes damage from on-site handling — so the true product-only rework rate is lower. Batch inspection records are available on request for tender projects.
