The UFC is a high fibre capacity cap ended ready access closure used
for the organisation and protection of fibre optic cable splices in
aerial, underground and direct buried installations. It is available
with a singe base configuration having 28 round ports and 2 oval
ports for loop through applications. The cover is fitted with
a pressure test valve and is available in 4 different lengths depending
on the number and type of tray selected. The cover is
environmentally sealed to the base using an “O” ring and base to
cover clamp whilst the cables are sealed using either heatshrink
sleeving or CablelokTM non-heatshrink seals.

The UFC can be supplied with the following tray options:

• 12, 18, 24 or 36 HellipseTM NZDF SE-A trays
• 12, 18, 24 or 36 HellipseTM SMF trays
• 4 HellamassTM - Large trays (other quantities available
upon request)
UFC with HellipseTM NZDF SE-A trays UFC with HellipseTM SMF trays
The choice of tray will depend on capacity, whether or not
interchangeable splice inserts are required, number
of tray entries and type of cable and fibre selected.

• Quick release base to cover clamp

• Kits with heatshrink sealing materials are supplied with 2 sleeves
for the S or B ports, 1 sleeve for the T ports and 1 sleeve
and branch clip for the oval ports
• If Cablelok™ seals are required as alternative to heatshrink
sleeving, these have to be ordered separately
(see page 32 for details)
• All Hellipse™ tray UFC’s are fitted with loop storage baskets
• Supplied with cable surface preparation, management
and identification materials
• For additional spur kits, please contact our Sales Office

Fibre Optic Splice Closures 2

BFJ - Blown Fibre Joint
The BFJ is a ready access pan type closure for use as a straight
through joint, a customer drop point or a centre blow point for
blown fibre underground networks. The closure consists of a circular
body with 4 sets of 3 sealed inlets at right angles to each other
around its circumference. The closure can be supplied with an
integral moulded base and separate cover that is sealed to the body
using an “O” ring and stainless clamp (BFJ2244) or with a separate
base and cover both of which are sealed to the body by “O” rings
and clamps (BFJ2131). An expansion kit (BFJA2312) consisting of
the body, “O” ring and clamp is also available so that bodies can be BFJ2244

stacked and sealed to each other if cable duct tube entry points in
manholes are at different levels.

The BFJ kits are supplied with 4 yellow tube holders which are
mounted around the inside of the closure and used for the routing
of 5mm diameter blown fibre mini-duct tubes or cable. The outer
jacket of the mini-duct tube bundles or cables are sealed into the
entry ports using either ‘B’ series Cablelok ™ non-heatshrink seals
or heatshrink sleeving. The maximum diameter of duct or cable
that the ports can accept being 50mm with heatshrink and 16.5mm
with CablelokTM (see page 32 for details). Internal view of BFJ2244

An in-line mid span cast aluminium interceptor kit (BFJ2132) is also

available for gaining access to duct tubes for a customer drop
without disturbing unbroken duct tubes which are already populated
with fibre. The circular BFJ is clamped on top of the mid span
interceptor kit and the mini-duct tube bundle or cable secured using
rubber sealing clamps, of which various sizes are available.

• Modular design that can be expanded in the field

• Multi-port base configuration
• Cover supplied with 5 psi (35 Kpa) pressure relief valve BFJ2131 mid-span interceptor kit
• Large internal bend diameter (300mm) for long distance

Closure Accessories 2
Manifolds
A fibre manifold is a device for dividing and managing fibres within
a splice closure or an optical distribution frame. It consists of a
moulded divider with snap on cover with 1 or 2 polyethylene tubes
inserted at one end and a number of similar tubes at the other.
The input tubes are simply fitted over a fibre cable element or loose
tube and the group of fibres is then divided into the required
number per output tube for routing to the splice area.

with the unit tubes or groups of fibres being fed through flexible
tubing or wrapped with spiral cut tubing for loop through
applications. All kits are supplied with both types of tubing, cable
