Product code
S83-5016
Read more

The Toby Box is an underground storage box for housing Microducts and Splice enclosures and has a hinged lid, so that access can be made at any point in time.

It is located at the boundary to the customer during FTTX installations and is used as a demarcation point for FTTX ‘Homes Passed’ where the customer does not require an immediate FTTX connection or can be used as a future ‘Maintenance point’ similar to an access chamber.

The Toby Box can be used to accommodate the end of a microduct (sealed) ready for future extension to the home, where a fibre is then blown along the total microduct length between the cabinet / splice enclosure and the home.

It can also be used for housing an IP65 or IP68 splice enclosure where the drop cable to the home can be spliced.

 

Application

The Toby box should be installed as close to the customer boundary / Pin Kerb as possible so that no further digging is required to access the customer's property.

The Toby box should be installed with adequate backfill materials and should comply with local installation rules and guidance with the lid opening towards the customer's home.

Where possible, the Toby Box should be situated in a position where it can feed two homes from a central location (so 2 microducts can be installed into one Toby Box.

Each microduct should be sealed with an end cap. There is a metal washer installed into the lid of the Toby Box, so it can be traced, should the pavement be resurfaced with the Toby Box beneath.
