The 96 Core Fibre Closure is a high-capacity fibre optic splice enclosure designed to protect, organize and manage up to 96 optical fibre splices. It provides a secure jointing point for large fibre cables used in ISP, FTTH, telecom, campus, CCTV and backbone networks.
Unlike an ODF or FAT box that normally provides connectorized ports, a fibre closure is mainly designed for fibre-to-fibre fusion splicing. Individual fibres are routed into internal splice trays, fusion-spliced, protected with splice sleeves and stored inside the enclosure while the outer housing shields the joints from dust, moisture and mechanical damage.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, the 96 Core Fibre Closure is suitable for ISPs, telecommunications contractors, fibre installers, enterprise networks, residential estates, commercial developments and other high-capacity fibre infrastructure projects.

What Does 96 Core Mean?
The term 96 Core means the enclosure can manage up to 96 individual optical fibres or splice positions, depending on the design.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 96 Core | Up to 96 optical fibres |
| FOSC | Fibre Optic Splice Closure |
| Fusion Splice | Permanent fibre-to-fibre connection |
| Splice Tray | Organizes optical joints |
| FTTH | Fibre to the Home |
| FTTx | Fibre to different endpoints |
| Backbone Fibre | Main high-capacity fibre route |
Typical 96 Core Splice Tray Configuration
A 96-core closure commonly uses multiple trays to divide the fibres into manageable groups.
| Tray Arrangement | Total Capacity |
|---|---|
| 4 × 24 Core Trays | 96 Fibres |
| 8 × 12 Core Trays | 96 Fibres |
| 2 × 48 Core Trays | 96 Fibres |
Using multiple trays makes fibre identification, maintenance and future re-entry much easier.

For a 96-core fibre cable, this sequence usually repeats across separate tubes or fibre bundles. Always follow the cable manufacturer’s actual colour coding.
How a 96 Core Fibre Closure Works
The incoming and outgoing fibre cables are routed through sealed cable-entry ports. The cables are secured mechanically before the individual fibres are prepared for splicing.
| Stage | Function |
|---|---|
| Incoming Cable | Brings optical fibres |
| Cable Entry Port | Provides protected access |
| Cable Fixing | Prevents cable movement |
| Strength Member Anchoring | Protects internal fibres |
| Buffer Tube Routing | Directs fibre groups |
| Fibre Preparation | Prepares individual fibres |
| Fusion Splicing | Joins corresponding fibres |
| Splice Sleeve | Protects joint |
| Splice Tray | Stores completed splice |
| Slack Storage | Stores spare fibre |
| Outgoing Cable | Continues network route |
Straight-Through Fibre Splicing
A 96 Core Fibre Closure can be used to join two sections of the same high-count fibre route.
| Incoming Cable | Outgoing Cable |
|---|---|
| Fibres 1–24 | Fibres 1–24 |
| Fibres 25–48 | Fibres 25–48 |
| Fibres 49–72 | Fibres 49–72 |
| Fibres 73–96 | Fibres 73–96 |
Each fibre is fusion-spliced individually and protected with a splice sleeve.
Fibre Branching
The enclosure can also function as a major branch point.
| Fibre Allocation | Example Destination |
|---|---|
| Fibres 1–24 | Zone A |
| Fibres 25–48 | Zone B |
| Fibres 49–72 | Zone C |
| Fibres 73–84 | Zone D |
| Fibres 85–96 | Spare Capacity |
This makes the 96-core closure particularly useful in large ISP and FTTH distribution networks.
Mid-Span Access
Some 96 Core Fibre Closures also support mid-span access, where selected fibres are accessed without completely cutting the main backbone cable.
| Mid-Span Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Continuous Backbone Cable | Main route remains intact |
| Selected Fibre Access | Only required fibres are branched |
| Reduced Splice Count | Fewer unnecessary joints |
| Uncut Fibre Storage | Preserves unused fibres |

The 96 Core Fibre Closure provides the capacity needed for large fibre networks where dozens of optical fibres must be spliced, protected and organized at one jointing location. Rather than installing several smaller closures, a single 96-core enclosure can centralize multiple fibre groups while maintaining separate splice trays for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
Its high fibre capacity makes it especially suitable for ISP backbone routes, FTTH distribution networks, telecom infrastructure, residential estates, campuses and large commercial developments. The closure can be used for straight-through cable joints, branch connections and, on compatible models, mid-span access where selected fibres are dropped without interrupting the entire backbone.
Correct installation is essential in high-count fibre closures. Technicians should secure cable strength members properly, keep fibre groups clearly labelled, maintain safe bend radii, use splice protection sleeves and test the completed links before sealing the enclosure. Fiber Optics Kenya can supply the 96 Core Fibre Closure together with 96-core fibre cable, ADSS and armoured fibre cables, fusion-splicing equipment, fibre preparation tools and optical testing equipment.
