3M™SLIC™FIBER AERIAL CLOSURES AND TERMINALS
SLiC Fiber Aerial Closure
533 and 733
3M’s SLiC fiber aerial closures are designed to enable service providers to cost-
effectively deploy aerial fiber networks in the access network (FTTN, HFC, and
FTTP). The SLiC fiber aerial closure is a weather-tight, single-piece aerial closure that
can be installed very easily for new construction or maintenance situations. The
single-piece construction permits complete splice access after placement without the
removal of the closure from the cable. These free-breathing closures (FBCs) are
designed for strand-mount in-line, butt or taut sheath single or ribbon fiber applications.
The durable double-walled, blow-molded body resists cracking or breaking even in the
harshest environments, providing the ultimate protection for the fibers and splices.
The SLiC fiber closure portfolio consists of the 533 and the 733 units. The maximum
splice capacity of the SLiC 533 closure is 144 and 432 for single and mass fusion.
The SLiC 733 closure can accommodate up to 288 single and 864 mass fusion splices.
FEATURES BENEFITS
One-piece construction Easy installation and permits access to the cable splice without removing the closure or the terminal
Double-walled molded construction Durable protection from bending and cracking in the most extreme environments
Spacious fiber management area Slack storage basket provides separate area for routing, protecting, and “expressing” buffer tubes and ribbon fibers
Multiple splicing applications Accommodates in-line and butt end span and midspan as well taut sheath applications
Quick-release clamps Easy installation and reentry without the need for special tools
Interlocking ends Permits the closure chamber to be extended to protect damaged sheath
