OPTOMER Cable Slack Storage Boxes
OPTOMER Cable Slack Storage Boxes provide a practical solution for organising and protecting spare cable within passive telecommunications infrastructure. They are intended for use wherever cable reserves must remain easily accessible while being protected from accidental damage during everyday network operation.
The product range consists of three models: SZ-4.1, SZ-4 and SZ-4.2. Each version differs in dimensions, storage capacity and number of cable ports, making it easy to select the most suitable enclosure for compact installations as well as larger operator networks.
What are Cable Slack Storage Boxes used for?
Cable Slack Storage Boxes are designed to store spare cable in a safe and organised manner. Their internal cable storage frame allows the cable to be wound evenly, helping maintain the recommended bending radius while reducing the risk of damage during installation, maintenance or future network expansion.
The protective enclosure also shields cable reserves from dust, dirt and accidental mechanical impact while providing convenient access whenever servicing or network modifications are required.
Typical applications include:
- Telecommunications manholes
- Cable chambers
- FTTH and FTTx access networks
- Telecommunication infrastructure
- CATV networks
- Locations requiring spare cable for future expansion or repairs
Choose the Right Model
SZ-4.1 | Space-Saving Solution
The smallest enclosure in the series, designed for installations with limited mounting space. Equipped with 4 cable ports and a lockable cover. Suitable for storing cable reserves with cable diameters up to 10 mm while maintaining proper cable routing and bending radius.
SZ-4 | The Most Versatile Choice
A versatile solution for standard fibre optic and telecommunication networks. Features 4 cable ports and provides storage for cable reserves of various diameters. Designed for installation in telecommunications manholes and cable chambers, combining compact dimensions with high functionality.
SZ-4.2 | Built for Maximum Capacity
The largest model in the product family, equipped with 6 cable ports for greater routing flexibility. Intended for larger cable reserves and cables with diameters up to 18 mm. Recommended for demanding FTTH, FTTx and telecommunications infrastructure projects requiring maximum storage capacity.
Installation and Cable Routing
All three models follow the same installation principle. After removing the cover, the cable is routed through flexible rubber cable glands and wound around the integrated internal storage frame. Before fixing the enclosure to the wall, the cable entry and exit direction should be planned, as cable ports are located on opposite sides of the housing.
This arrangement simplifies cable organisation while providing convenient access to stored cable during maintenance, repairs and future network upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
SZ-4.1 • SZ-4 • SZ-4.2
What is the difference between SZ-4.1, SZ-4 and SZ-4.2?
The models differ mainly in enclosure size, cable storage capacity and the number of cable ports, allowing users to choose the most suitable version for their installation.
Which model offers the largest cable capacity?
SZ-4.2 is the largest model in the range and is intended for applications requiring the highest cable storage capacity.
Where can these storage boxes be installed?
They are designed for telecommunications manholes, cable chambers and other passive telecommunications infrastructure.
Can they be used in FTTH networks?
Yes. They are suitable for FTTH, FTTx and other fibre optic access networks where spare cable storage is required.
Why is maintaining the cable bending radius important?
Maintaining the recommended bending radius helps preserve cable performance and reduces the risk of fibre damage during installation and long-term operation.
