BACKGROUND
[0002] Over the last few years, there has been a sudden growth in demand
for installation of optical fibre cables for various communication and sensing applications. These optical fibre cables are installed in long haul and multi-branched communication networks. These communication networks have multiple independent optical fibre cable terminations. These optical fibre cable terminations are generally enclosed in the fibre enclosure boxes for protection and distribution of optical fibre links to various customer premises for a variety of applications. The fibre enclosure boxes include a plurality of components to enclose the optical fibre cable terminations. For example, the plurality of components include fibre optic adapters, splitters, splice trays and connectors. Typically, the plurality of components cannot be moved and are fixed according to design, function and application of the cable termination box. Thus, there is requirement of separate cable termination boxes for separate purposes. For example, there is a requirement for a new cable termination box to serve a new purpose or application.
[0003] In light of the above mentioned discussion, there is a need of a new
and improved module optical fibre termination box that overcomes the above stated drawbacks.
