Product Description

86 Type Fiber Optic Face Plate for FTTH Indoor Termination

86 type fiber optic face plate provides the final indoor termination point between FTTH drop cable and the subscriber patch cord. It should protect the adapter, splice or field connector, maintain fibre bend radius and transfer cable pull force to the housing rather than the optical connection.

The SC simplex version is the primary configuration, while port count, LC/FC footprints, UPC/APC interface, adapter, pigtail and mounting accessories are project-specified. The empty plastic box does not determine optical loss; the complete connection path and workmanship do.

Configuration and Selection Guide

Selection item	Decision required	Buyer impact
Port count	1, 2 or 4 ports; confirm simplex/duplex footprint	Determines adapter, pigtail and patch-cord capacity.
Connector interface	SC/LC/FC and UPC/APC as project-specified	APC and UPC must not be intermated.
Cable entry	3.1 × 2.0 mm drop cable or project-specified indoor cable	Clamp must secure the jacket without loading the fibre.
Termination method	Pre-terminated, field connector or fusion-spliced pigtail	Controls splice sleeve storage and technician workflow.
Mounting	Standard 86 box or surface wall installation	Confirm screw spacing, depth and cable-entry direction.
Bend management	G.657.A access fibre preferred where routing is tight	Minimum bend radius must be maintained after the cover closes.

Indoor Termination Architecture

For fusion termination, the box must store the sleeve and fibre slack without crossing sharp edges. For a field connector, allow assembly space and verify connector boot length. Pre-terminated drops reduce field work but require protection during pulling. Confirm whether the order includes only the face plate or a complete kit with adapter, pigtail, sleeve and screws.

Optical Performance Boundaries

Insertion loss and return loss belong to the adapter/connector path and must be measured with clean reference cords at the specified wavelength. APC and UPC interfaces are mechanically similar but optically incompatible. A face plate must not be marketed as guaranteeing ≤0.2 dB unless the supplied adapter, connectors and test method are included in the acceptance plan.

Cable Retention and Bend Management

Anchor the drop-cable jacket and strength members before exposing fibre. Route G.657.A fibre around smooth guides, keep the splice sleeve in its holder and confirm that closing the cover does not pinch the fibre. Pull-out performance depends on the actual clamp and cable; verify the stated force on the selected configuration.

Common Installation Risks and Prevention

Risk	Effect	Control
UPC/APC mismatch	High reflection and possible end-face damage	Colour-code and specify adapter/connector polish.
Cable not strain-relieved	Pull force reaches the splice or connector	Clamp the jacket and strength member before routing fibre.
Tight bend under cover	Added attenuation or future break	Check routing with the cover installed and use bend-insensitive fibre where appropriate.
Dirty adapter/dust cap	Insertion loss and unstable service	Clean, inspect and cap every unused port.
Overfilled box	Crushed sleeve or pinched fibre	Approve actual pigtail, sleeve and slack-storage layout.
Unsupported material claim	Tender rejection	Match CE/RoHS/flammability evidence to the exact supplied resin and model.

Pre-shipment Quality and Acceptance Plan

Lot inspection can verify dimensions, port footprint, cover fit, screw set, cable entry, adapter retention, splice-sleeve storage, fibre routing and material/label consistency. For complete kits, test insertion loss and return loss on a defined sample using the ordered UPC/APC components.

Approve an assembled sample, not only an empty housing.
Confirm adapter footprint, polish and dust caps.
Test the real drop cable in the clamp.
Close the cover with full slack and sleeve storage.
Check moulding, latch, screw bosses and sharp edges.
Match all compliance documents to the exact material and configuration.

B2B Buyer Guide: Information Required for an Accurate Quote

Provide port count, adapter type and polish, cable dimensions, termination method, pigtail length/fibre type, sleeve type, mounting box standard, quantity, label/logo, destination and documentation requirements. State whether each unit must be preassembled and individually tested.

FAQ

Q：

What is an 86 type SC simplex fiber optic face plate used for?

A：

An 86 type SC simplex fiber optic face plate is used as the indoor FTTH termination point between the drop cable and the subscriber patch cord. It holds the adapter or connector, protects the fibre connection and keeps the installation neat on a standard 86 wall box or surface mount position.

Q：

How should buyers choose UPC or APC for an SC fiber optic face plate?

A：

Buyers should match UPC or APC to the network interface already used in the project. APC is common in PON and FTTH networks where return loss matters, while UPC is used in many standard data links. UPC and APC connectors should not be intermated because the end-face angles are different.

Q：

Why do bend radius and strain relief matter in an FTTH wall mount outlet?

A：

Bend radius and strain relief directly affect long-term optical stability. The drop cable jacket should be clamped so pulling force is not transferred to the fibre, and the fibre loop must remain smooth after the cover is closed to avoid micro-bending loss or intermittent faults.

Q：

Should buyers choose a field connector, fusion-spliced pigtail or pre-terminated drop cable?

A：

A field connector reduces tools and is useful for fast indoor installation, a fusion-spliced pigtail gives more controlled optical performance, and a pre-terminated drop cable reduces field work but needs protection during pulling. The best choice depends on technician skill, project scale and acceptance requirements.

Q：

What should distributors confirm before ordering FTTH fiber optic face plates in bulk?

A：

Distributors should confirm port count, SC/LC/FC footprint, simplex or duplex design, UPC/APC polishing, adapter and pigtail inclusion, cable entry size, screw spacing, colour, logo, accessories, packaging and labels. Clear configuration avoids missing parts during installation.
