Top 40 Innovations: Outdoor Plant Closure Solutions
Innovations such as heat shrink technology, gel-under-compression sealing and elastic sealing have enabled telecom carriers to protect and seal the outside plant connections from the environment in a simple and reliable way. Heat shrink became the core technology for the majority of the Raychem business in the 1980s and 1990s, and became the global de facto standard for protecting copper splices underground. Gel seals are currently the preferred sealing method for the majority of our fiber optics closures, gradually replacing heatshrink technology. They give a significant competitive advantage over traditional sealing methods that rely on rubbers, mastics or reactive resins. www.commscope.com/top-40-innovations/
