Underground distribution boxes (handholes) for Outside Plant Duct systems 

The DrakaXSNet Solution for FTTH networks includes boxes or hand holes to provide easy access to splice closures, duct distribution points and cable-slack storage. There are four main types available:

  • Concrete hand holes;
  • HDPE hand holes;
  • Polyester hand holes;
  • Polycarbonate hand holes.

All Draka Underground Distribution Boxes (Hand Holes) are available in various sizes and shapes on request.

Direct Buried Heavy Duty Handhole (max 12 ducts)

This polyethylene double walled handhole is specially designed for direct buried underground use. Its heavy duty construction meets the most severe horizontal and vertical crush resistance standards, but because of the polyethylene material, it is still lightweight and very cost-effective to transport and install.

Handhole (max. 12 ducts)

The rectangular polyethylene handhole is used in duct systems and provides protection and storage facilities for one splicing / branching closure and excess cable required for installation and maintenance. The handhole is minimized in weight to make it possible to install in areas where deep digging is impossible. To install the duct tubes into the hand hole, a core drill (or hole saw) may be used to cut the appropriate sized entries. The ducts are connected to the handhole by means of regular screw mounted duct couplings. Centerpoints indicate the correct placement of the duct couplings and an optional a metal frame can be ordered to improve the side-loaded stability.

Direct Buried Heavy Duty Handhole (max. 18 ducts)

This heay duty handhole is designed as a direct buried underground housing. The handhole is splittable and can be used in existing duct systems. It supports the installation of most types of splice closures with enough space for cable excess length storage. The handhole can be used as an underground manipulation point for microducts and/or cables on all network locations.

Handhole Type 2, 3 and 4

The handholes type 2, 3 and 4 are designed as direct buried underground housings. The handhole is splittable and can be used in existing duct systems to add a distribution or manipulation point.. It supports the installation of most types of splice closures with enough space for cable excess length storage. The handhole can be used as an underground manipulation point for microducts, cables and fibers on all network locations.
