FOC Cabler Joint:

-The need of the NBN.


Below diagram shows the overview of the network topology where there is such a requirement.

As the demand for high bandwidth is increasing and the time for implementation is reducing, let us discuss about innovative method to speed up and simplify the whole process. One such innovation is the FOC Cabler Joints.


There is an acute requirement in FOC cable joint where we have to distribute the fiber from different tubes inside the incoming cable to the different fibers in various tubes in the outgoing cable. So the conventional method of splicing and placing the splice point over the trays is not suitable.



The fiber distribution between the incoming cable and the outgoing cable are as per the below picture:

The conventional cable splice tray and jumping of bare fiber between different trays is not recommended. Here comes the fiber distribution over a omni directional fiber splice support and the cabler joint.


Let us stop here about the requirement and we like to introduce the new method of Fiber Optic Cable splicing with Cabler Joints. The below picture is self explanatory.

Cabler - Advantages

üCan achieve any type of joint in terms of number of cable, number of fibers per cable and number of branching.

üCost savings in conventional closure, ODF, Patch cords and work man hours.

üOccupies less space and volume compared to the regular closures.

üNo logistics problems of closure ordering with specified type and procurement delays.

üCustom made for site conditions.

Cabler - Disadvantages

•        Not re-workable in the same joint closure as it will be molded. (There are technical ways available and experts are capable of re-operating this cabler joints)
•        The contractor / the technician making this cabler joint has to give guarantee of the splicing and molding compared to the guarantee of the cable manufacturer.
•        The joint is considered as part of the cable.
