Fiber optic splice box DIGITUS DN-96330/9APC 1U, equipped with 6x LC-APC DX, OS2, polymer/steel, light grey

The DIGITUS fiber optic splice box DN-96330/9APC is a 1U rack-mount enclosure pre-equipped for six LC-APC duplex connections and designed for single-mode OS2 fiber. The housing combines painted sheet steel and polymer elements in light grey and provides organized protection for splice points while optimizing space in server rooms and telecom racks.

Advantages

Pre-assembled fiber components reduce installation time and simplify deployment. The unit protects fiber splices reliably, supports efficient management of multiple fiber connections and uses a compact 1U form factor to optimize rack space. Ceramic-sleeved couplings and a sturdy support housing improve connection stability and mechanical durability.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data center racks
• Telecom and network equipment cabinets
• Small to medium fiber distribution points
• Environments requiring fast deployment of single-mode OS2 links

When it may not be suitable

This pre-assembled splice box is intended for single-mode OS2 fiber and LC-APC duplex connections; it is not suitable where multimode fibers or other connector types (for example SC or ST) are required. It may also be unnecessary for installations that require a custom internal layout or a larger splice capacity than provided.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mount
• Pre-installed connections: 6 × LC-APC duplex (DX)
• Supported fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Material: painted 1.0 mm sheet steel support housing and polymer components
• Coupling type: ceramic sleeve with polymer housing
• Dimensions (W × H × D): 483 mm × 44.45 mm × 240 mm
• Cable management panel color: light grey

How to use

Mount the 1U splice box in a standard 19" rack or cabinet. Route incoming fiber cables into the enclosure, secure them to the cable management panel and arrange the pre-installed colored pigtails into the splice cassette(s). Perform fusion splicing or mechanical splicing as required, insert splices into the splice tray for protection and guide connectorized ends to the front LC-APC couplings for connection to active equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with single-mode OS2 fiber and LC-APC duplex connectors
• Required splice capacity and whether 6 LC-APC DX ports meet current and future needs
• Available rack space (1U height) and mounting location
• Environmental and mechanical protection requirements for the installation site

Recommendations

Use color-coded pigtails and the built-in cable management panel to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on splices; follow standard fiber handling and fusion-splicing procedures to minimise insertion loss and ensure long-term reliability.
