OSP range: solutions through products

Tank Industries is a specialist manufacturer of telecoms, fibre-optic, power and electronics accessories, with a 30-year record of not only supplying the South African market, but also exporting world-class products.

Locally manufactured products have a positive contribution to the role of manufacturing in boosting economic growth and employment in South Africa. Further to this, they have the ability to customise or change requirements to suit end-user requirements.

Tank Industries developed the world's first inline re-enterable splice closure for pressurised cables, and its modern-day closures have been augmented with many improvements from its original design, to service all possible telecommunication applications, providing connectivity for fibre and copper networks throughout Europe and Africa.

Tank Industries also offers a wide range of protection products, cable cleaning and network marking products and fibre-optic closures specifically for FTTX networks. Other products include OSP products such as customer premises units, indoor and outdoor distribution boxes and slack bins.
