FAT Box with Bare Splitter 1:4 Price in Kenya

A FAT Box with Bare Splitter 1:4 combines a fiber access terminal enclosure with a passive one-to-four optical splitter. It is used in a suitably designed FTTH network to organize and protect a local optical distribution point.

The splitter divides an incoming optical path into four output paths. The enclosure provides space for routing fibers and protecting splices, making it useful for a small subscriber distribution point.

Key Specification

A bare splitter should not be assumed to include preinstalled SC/APC adapters, pigtails, or connectorized outputs.

Features and Practical Benefits

Compact optical distribution: Provides a local point from which a properly designed network can branch toward four output paths.

Passive operation: The splitter itself needs no electrical supply, reducing local power requirements.

Protected splice organization: The enclosure helps keep the splitter, fiber routing, and protected joints together.

Useful for small FTTH branches: Suitable where the network plan calls for a four-way split rather than a higher split ratio.

Optical Budget and Compatibility

Every split introduces optical loss. The ideal division into four equal outputs represents approximately 6dB before excess loss, splice loss, connector loss, and cable attenuation are added.

Check the actual splitter datasheet and the full network power budget. A different split ratio, such as the 1:8 SC/APC splitter at Tawa, is a different design choice rather than a direct substitute.

How to Install It

1. Confirm the package contents. Identify the splitter input, four outputs, trays, seals, and any supplied adapters.
2. Check the optical design. Confirm wavelength suitability and available loss budget.
3. Select the mounting position. Use the box only in an environment supported by its rating.
4. Bring cables through the correct entries. Secure the cable sheath and provide suitable strain relief.
5. Prepare and splice the fibers. Connect the feeder to the splitter input and route outputs to the intended distribution fibers or pigtails.
6. Protect every splice. Place sleeves correctly in the tray and maintain minimum bend radius.
7. Label the ports and fibers. Record each subscriber or route allocation.
8. Test and close. Measure output levels, inspect sealing, and record commissioning results.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

• Combines enclosure and splitter.
• Passive local distribution.
• Useful for a small FTTH branch.
• Supports organized splice management.

Disadvantages

• Split loss must be included in the design.
• Bare fibers generally require skilled termination.
• Accessories vary by package.
• Outdoor suitability depends on the actual enclosure rating.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

One output is much weaker than the others.
Inspect its splice, bend radius, connector, and routing before blaming the splitter.

Can it connect four Ethernet devices directly?
No. It distributes optical signals within a compatible optical network.

Should APC and UPC connectors be mixed?
Use the specified matching connector interfaces; do not directly mate different polish types.
