Overview
The AFL Apex X-2S is a robust, sealed splice closure engineered for high-density fiber management in both aerial and below-grade environments. Utilizing a specialized butt configuration, this closure provides reliable protection for critical optical fiber splices in outside plant networks. The unit is designed to maintain seal integrity while allowing for efficient cable management and future expansion.
The closure features a unique wedge-based cable sealing system that allows for tool-less release and individual port access, facilitating easy add-on of cables without disturbing existing connections. Its internal architecture includes a centralized organizer for up to 6 splice trays and a dedicated slack storage basket, providing an orderly environment for routing and securing loose tube or ribbon fiber slack.
