Product overview
16-Port Optical Termination Box for FTTH Feeder-to-Drop Nodes
The GL-FTB-16H serves as the transition point between an incoming feeder cable and multiple drop-side connections. Its flip-up distribution panel separates the upper splicing and cross-connection area from lower splitter and excess-fiber storage, while cable clamps and dedicated routing paths organize the feeder, pigtails and patch cords.
Network function
Use the enclosure to secure an incoming feeder cable, protect fiber joints, route pigtails, store fiber slack and distribute optical paths toward subscriber drops. A micro PLC splitter may be integrated when the ODN design calls for a passive 1×16 branch at this node.
Configuration at a glance
The standard product data identifies a 16-port black PC+ABS enclosure, IP65 protection, 290 × 210 × 82 mm dimensions, a 12–15 mm input cable range and wall or pole mounting. Adapter interface, drop-cable profile, splice capacity and loaded splitter specification must be defined on the project BOM.
Port count is not the same as splice or splitter capacity
The enclosure has 16 distribution positions and can house a micro 1×16 PLC splitter. The number of field splices, adapter type and actual splitter loss are separate configuration fields and should be confirmed through the approved drawing and optical BOM.

Design details
GL-FTB-16H Product Selling Points
Each point connects a confirmed product detail to a practical engineering or procurement decision.
16-Port Distribution Platform
The enclosure provides 16 distribution positions for connecting the feeder side to multiple drop paths. This gives planners a defined subscriber-facing scale while keeping adapter type, splice quantity and active splitter outputs as separate BOM fields.
Micro 1×16 PLC Splitter Space
A dedicated lower area accommodates a micro PLC splitter, and the FTTH configuration identifies a 1×16 option. Integrating the splitter inside the terminal removes the need for a separate splitter enclosure, provided its package, fiber leads, connectorization and optical limits are approved.
IP65 PC+ABS Enclosure
The black PC+ABS housing carries an IP65 rating and is listed for indoor or outdoor use. It supplies defined material and ingress fields for exposed FTTH nodes; impact rating, flame class, UV test duration and continuous-immersion performance are not established by IP65.
Flip-Up Dual-Layer Layout
The flip-up distribution panel separates splitter and excess-fiber storage from splicing, cross-connection and distribution. Compared with a single open compartment, this arrangement gives technicians clearer access to the service area without pulling every routed pigtail through the same working space.
12–15 mm Feeder Cable Entry
The specified input cable diameter is 12–15 mm, and internal cable-fixing units secure the outdoor feeder before fiber routing begins. Recording the actual cable OD and strength-member construction before ordering helps avoid entry-gland and retention mismatches on site.
Wall or Pole Mounting
The 290 × 210 × 82 mm enclosure supports wall and pole installation for indoor/outdoor FTTH locations. A single housing can therefore cover building exteriors and roadside access points when the approved order includes the correct bracket, fasteners, orientation and cable-support method.

Network placement
16-Port Optical Termination Box Applications and Solutions
The GL-FTB-16H fits passive access nodes where feeder termination, controlled routing and optional 1×16 splitting must share one wall- or pole-mounted enclosure.
FTTH Last-Mile Distribution
A generic splice box may protect joints but leave splitter mounting, drop distribution and fiber storage in separate enclosures. GL-FTB-16H combines these functions in a 16-port IP65 housing with a flip-up panel and micro PLC position. Install it between the feeder cable and subscriber drop section at an FTTH neighborhood or building access node. The 12–15 mm feeder enters the cable-fixing area, while the selected pigtails or patch cords serve the drop side. Before ordering, confirm adapter type, connector polish, splice plan, 1×16 splitter data, drop-cable interfaces and the complete port map.
Pole-Mounted Outdoor FTTH Nodes
Choosing an enclosure without a defined pole option can leave brackets, cable loads and service access unresolved. The GL-FTB-16H provides an IP65 PC+ABS housing and pole-mount installation for roadside or utility-pole FTTx nodes. Position it where a 12–15 mm feeder cable must be secured, spliced and distributed toward nearby subscriber routes. Procurement should specify pole diameter, bracket and fasteners, box orientation, cable support, feeder construction, drop-cable entry method, unused-port sealing and whether site impact, flame, UV or immersion conditions require additional project specifications beyond the stated IP rating.
Building Exterior and MDU Distribution
Using separate splice, splitter and patching boxes on a building façade can consume wall space and make fiber routing harder to trace. The GL-FTB-16H uses a 290 × 210 × 82 mm dual-layer structure to separate splitter storage from splicing and distribution. Mount it on an exterior wall or indoor service area at the feeder-to-building-drop transition for an apartment, office or mixed-use property. Buyers should confirm wall material, fasteners, opening clearance, fire requirements, adapter and polish, drop-cable profile, splitter topology, port numbering and whether the standard non-specified flame performance is acceptable for the intended location.
GPON or XGS-PON 1×16 Branch Points
Selecting a 16-port box without separating connector loss from splitter loss can produce an incorrect ODN budget. GL-FTB-16H provides space for a micro 1×16 PLC splitter and lists ≤0.15 dB insertion loss for the configured optical connection, while the splitter's actual worst-port loss remains a separate value. Install it at the centralized split point defined by the GPON or XGS-PON architecture, upstream of subscriber drops and ONTs. Procurement must confirm OLT class, fiber type, route lengths, connector-pair allowances, splitter test data, reserve margin, splice events and required end-to-end acceptance records.
