operation of the product, main sizes of the components and settings.

2 - Description The set of optical splicing box CEFO G2 has been developed to house
and protect splices of optical fiber cables in aerial and ground networks.
CEFO G2 is a compact easy-to-use product that has high resistance
against deterioration and weather.
1. Dome: Responsible for protection of the splice set. The plastic raw-
material used is polypropylene. It has characteristics that provides the
product with high resistance against deterioration when exposed to long
periods in the environment; including the action of ultraviolet (UV).
2. Base: Responsible for housing the cables. The plastic raw-material

used is polypropylene. It has characteristics that provides the product
with high resistance against deterioration when exposed to long periods
in the environment; including the action of ultraviolet (UV).
3. Cover and Tray: Responsible for housing splices. The plastic raw-
material used in both is the high impact polystyrene gives these
resistance against deterioration.
4. Metal parts: The metal parts of the splices, screws, washers, fasteners
are composed of stainless steel and aluminum.

When subject to an axial load applied to each cable, optical terminal box
must be:
