The 24 Core Fibre Closure is a fibre optic splice enclosure designed to protect, organize and manage up to 24 fibre optic splices. It provides a secure jointing point where fibre cables can be connected, extended, repaired or branched while protecting delicate fusion splices against moisture, dust and mechanical damage.
A typical 24-core horizontal closure uses internal splice trays to organize individual fibres and may feature a 2-in/2-out cable configuration. Depending on the specific model, outdoor closures can offer protection up to IP68 and support aerial, duct, wall-mounted or underground deployment.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, the 24 Core Fibre Closure is suitable for ISPs, fibre contractors, CCTV installers, telecommunications networks, FTTH projects, campus networks and enterprise fibre infrastructure.

What Is a 24 Core Fibre Closure?
A 24 Core Fibre Closure is an enclosure installed at a fibre cable joint to protect fusion-spliced optical fibres.
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Outer Housing | Protects internal components |
| Cable Entry Ports | Receives fibre cables |
| Cable Clamps | Secures incoming cables |
| Strength Member Anchors | Provides mechanical support |
| Splice Trays | Organizes fibre joints |
| Splice Sleeves | Protects individual fusion splices |
| Fibre Routing Guides | Maintains correct routing |
| Slack Storage Area | Stores excess fibre |
| Sealing System | Prevents environmental contamination |
Unlike an ODF or fibre termination box, a standard splice closure primarily protects fibre-to-fibre joints rather than providing accessible patch-cord ports.
What Does 24 Core Mean?
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 24 Core | Capacity for up to 24 optical fibres |
| Fibre Closure | Protective fibre joint enclosure |
| FOSC | Fibre Optic Splice Closure |
| Fusion Splice | Permanent fibre-to-fibre connection |
| FTTH | Fibre to the Home |
| FTTx | Fibre to different network endpoints |
The exact internal arrangement varies. Some 24-core models use two 12-fibre trays, while others accommodate 24 fibres on a single tray.
How a 24 Core Fibre Closure Works
The incoming and outgoing fibre cables are routed into the closure through sealed cable ports. The cable jackets are prepared, strength members secured and individual optical fibres routed toward the splice trays.
| Stage | Function |
|---|---|
| Incoming Cable | Carries optical fibres |
| Cable Entry | Provides protected entry |
| Cable Fixing | Prevents movement |
| Strength Member Fixing | Provides mechanical support |
| Fibre Preparation | Separates individual fibres |
| Fusion Splicing | Joins corresponding fibres |
| Splice Sleeve | Protects fusion joint |
| Splice Tray | Organizes completed splices |
| Slack Storage | Stores maintenance fibre |
| Outgoing Cable | Continues network route |
Typical 24-Core Fibre Organization
A 24-core cable is commonly organized as two groups of twelve fibres.
| Fibre Range | Typical Group |
|---|---|
| 1–12 | First Fibre Group |
| 13–24 | Second Fibre Group |
Each group can follow the standard 12-colour fibre identification sequence.
Typical Fibre Colour Sequence
| Fibre | Typical Colour |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blue |
| 2 | Orange |
| 3 | Green |
| 4 | Brown |
| 5 | Slate |
| 6 | White |
| 7 | Red |
| 8 | Black |
| 9 | Yellow |
| 10 | Violet |
| 11 | Rose |
| 12 | Aqua |
For fibres 13–24, the colour sequence may repeat within another identified tube or fibre group. Always follow the manufacturer's cable identification system.
2 In / 2 Out 24 Core Fibre Closure
A common configuration provides two incoming and two outgoing cable ports. Current 24-core IP68 closures are available in this 2-in/2-out configuration.
| Port | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Input 1 | Main feeder fibre |
| Input 2 | Additional feeder / branch |
| Output 1 | Continuing fibre route |
| Output 2 | Distribution / branch fibre |
This makes the enclosure suitable for both straight-through fibre joints and network branching.
Straight-Through Fibre Jointing
A simple application involves joining two sections of the same 24-core fibre cable.
| Incoming Cable | Outgoing Cable |
|---|---|
| Fibre 1 | Fibre 1 |
| Fibre 2 | Fibre 2 |
| Fibre 3 | Fibre 3 |
| … | … |
| Fibre 22 | Fibre 22 |
| Fibre 23 | Fibre 23 |
| Fibre 24 | Fibre 24 |
Each pair is fusion-spliced individually and protected using a splice sleeve.
Fibre Branching
The 24-core capacity also provides flexibility for branching fibres to multiple destinations.
| Example Fibre Allocation | Destination |
|---|---|
| Fibres 1–8 | Main Route |
| Fibres 9–16 | Building A |
| Fibres 17–24 | Building B |
Actual fibre allocation should follow the network design and documentation.
IP68 24 Core Fibre Closure
IP68-rated 24-core splice closures are available for demanding outdoor applications. Current examples use engineering-plastic housings, mechanical seals, 2-in/2-out cable arrangements and 12- or 24-fibre splice trays.
| IP68 Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Dust Protection | Helps prevent contamination |
| Water Protection | Suitable for demanding outdoor environments |
| Mechanical Sealing | Helps maintain enclosure integrity |
| Outdoor Installation | Excellent |
| Duct Installation | Excellent |
| Underground Installation | Suitable on approved models |
The exact environmental rating should always be confirmed for the specific closure being supplied.
Horizontal 24 Core Fibre Closure
Horizontal or inline closures are particularly useful where fibre cables continue along the same general route.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Horizontal Shape | Convenient inline installation |
| Multiple Cable Entries | Supports branching |
| Splice Tray Access | Simplifies maintenance |
| Compact Construction | Easier placement |
| Re-Entry | Available on mechanical models |

The 24 Core Fibre Closure provides a protected and organized location for joining medium-count fibre optic cables. Its capacity makes it particularly useful for FTTH distribution networks, ISP fibre routes, CCTV backbone connections and building-to-building fibre infrastructure where a 12-core enclosure may provide insufficient capacity.
During installation, incoming fibre cables are mechanically secured before individual fibres are routed into the splice tray. Corresponding fibres are fusion-spliced, protected with heat-shrink sleeves and carefully arranged while maintaining the required bend radius. Installation guidance for 24-fibre closures emphasizes orderly fibre placement, correct sealing of unused cable ports and proper management of the fibres inside the splice tray.
For complete fibre projects, Fiber Optics Kenya can supply the 24 Core Fibre Closure together with outdoor fibre cables, armoured cables, ADSS fibre cables, splice protection sleeves, fusion splicers, fibre cleavers, stripping tools, optical power meters, VFLs and OTDR equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About 24 Core Fibre Closure
What is a 24 Core Fibre Closure?
A 24 Core Fibre Closure is a protective enclosure designed to organize and protect up to 24 optical fibre splices.
What does FOSC mean?
FOSC means Fibre Optic Splice Closure.
How many fibres can it accommodate?
A standard 24-core closure accommodates up to 24 fibres, although some enclosure families can be expanded to larger capacities.
Does it support fusion splicing?
Yes. Fusion splicing is one of its primary applications.
How many splice trays does it have?
This depends on the model. A 24-core enclosure may use one 24-fibre tray or two 12-fibre trays.
Does it have 2-in/2-out cable ports?
Many models do. 24-core horizontal IP68 closures with two inputs and two outputs are available.
Is a 24 Core Fibre Closure waterproof?
Outdoor models can provide high environmental protection, including IP68-rated configurations.
Can it be installed aerially?
Yes. Suitable horizontal closures support aerial deployment.
Can it be installed underground?
Yes, provided the specific closure is rated for underground or direct-buried deployment.
Can it be installed in a duct?
Yes. Horizontal closures are commonly used in fibre duct networks.
Can it be wall mounted?
Yes, on models designed with appropriate mounting hardware.
