Closures and
Terminals for Copper Networks
Copper is the foundation of your network, now and for the foreseeable
future. It is your key to provide quality service to both new and existing
customers.
In the face of rising costs and increased customer demands, the proper
protection and upkeep of your outside plant architecture is crucial–at the
regional level, in the neighborhood and at the last mile.
The integrity of your aerial network plays a critical role in delivering
the bandwidth and uncompromised triple play service your customers
want. You need cutting-edge reliability, accessibility and expandability
as never before.
For the last 20 years, 3M SLiC closures and terminals have protected
aerial networks, globally, in more than 30 different countries.

Free-breathing Aerial Closures
3M
™
SLiC
™
Closures and Terminals are free-breathing, meaning they are purposely
built to allow for free air circulation of ambient outdoor air through the splice,
allowing condensation to drain away. At the same time, your
connections are protected from UV sunlight, animals and
weather.
3M SLiC Closures are double-wall molded,
single-piece closures that are easily installed
in construction or maintenance situations.
The one-piece construction permits complete
splice access after placement without removal
of the closure or bonding from the cables. All
components attach to the closure, so there are no
parts to lose.
Available in seven sizes that can accommodate splice bundles from 2.2
inches to 9.6 inches, the SLiC closure can be easily extended. Take one or more
additional (same size) closures, cut them in half and connect to the left or right side
of your existing closures via the interlocking ends. Because of these interlocking
ends, the 3M SLiC Closure (2.6x29, 3.6x33, 5.6x33, 7.6x33 models) can expand to
meet virtually any size sheath opening without a need to stock special kits.
End Seals for the 3M

Aerial Closures

The 3M
™
SLiC
™
Aerial Closures and Terminals are offered with two types of end
seals. Both options ensure a snug fit on the cables and virtually eliminate the need
for drip collars.
• 3M SLiC Rubber End Seal (RES) – These are offered in one-, two- and three-
port configurations and can accommodate cables ranging from 0.5 to 3.8 inches.
They can be applied in new construction by measuring the cable and cutting
the appropriate ring. In the case of existing cables, slit the end seal from outside
and tear out the center section. Additional drop can be added by puncturing the
smaller circles in the front side of the end seal.
• 3M SLiC Spiral End Seal (SES) – These are offered in three-, four- or five-port
configurations based on diameter. End seals can be used in new construction or
with existing cables by simply removing the right-sized plugs. The cable range is
molded in the end seal.
