The Runt Closure provides a compact solution for fiber-to-the-premise applications in fiber distribution networks. Measuring 14.75 to 18.7 inches in length, 8.5 to 10 inches in width, and 3 to 3.7 inches in height (with expanded models up to 4.75 inches), its low-profile design fits smaller hand holes, pedestals, and tight mounting areas.
Entry configurations include three or four ports accepting cables up to 1-1/4 inches diameter, sealed with flexible grommets accommodating flat or round cable profiles. Splice capacity ranges from 36 single fusion or 72 ribbon fusion splices in standard models to 96 single fusion or 288 ribbon fusion splices in expanded versions. The internal organizer manages buffer tube or ribbon cable, while future cable ports enable additional installations without removing end plates.
The closure features hermetically sealed construction with an integrated air valve for testing assembly integrity. A permanent neoprene gasket system allows re-entry without kits, and the LITE-GRIP Splice Block System supports single fusion, mass fusion, mechanical splices, and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters within one unit. Assembly requires no special tools, and flame retardant material options are available.
Suitable for direct buried, below grade, pole, wall mount, and aerial installations, the closure accommodates both loose tube and ribbon fiber applications. Certified to Telcordia GR-771-CORE standards with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Approval and Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Listing, it meets industry requirements for diverse deployment environments.
