Panduit OFCD6517BF Dome Closure 6.5 X 17 Inches

Product Description

The PANDUIT OFCD6517BF is a dome-style fiber optic cable closure measuring 6.5 inches in diameter and 17 inches in length, sealed with silicone for weatherproof protection of fiber splice points. This closure is designed to protect fiber optic splices, slack storage, and associated hardware from moisture, contaminants, and mechanical damage in outside plant environments. Licensed telecom and low-voltage contractors install this type of enclosure in aerial, buried, or pedestal applications wherever long-term splice protection is required.

This dome closure is suited for outside plant fiber optic installations in both residential and commercial telecommunications infrastructure. It provides a re-enterable, environmentally sealed housing for fiber splices in direct-buried, aerial lashed, or underground vault deployments. The silicone sealant provides a reliable barrier against moisture ingress, making it appropriate for installations exposed to variable weather conditions and ground moisture.

Key Features

• Dome-style enclosure measuring 6.5 inches in diameter and 17 inches in length
• Includes silicone sealant for weatherproof, moisture-resistant sealing
• Designed for outside plant fiber optic splice protection
• Re-enterable design allows future access to splices without damaging the closure
• Suitable for aerial, direct-buried, and underground vault applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outside plant dome closure for fiber optic cable splice applications in telecommunications and low-voltage distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of fiber optic dome closures is performed by licensed low-voltage or telecommunications contractors. Disconnect and de-energize any associated powered equipment before working near active fiber infrastructure. Follow TIA and local code requirements for splice enclosure placement, grounding, and burial depth in direct-buried applications. Do not overtighten port seals or dome fasteners beyond hand-tight without following the manufacturer torque guidance provided in the installation sheet.
