Leatherback Buried Drop Repair Enclosure

Leatherback Buried Drop Repair Enclosure

The Precision Group Leatherback Buried Drop Repair Enclosure is designed for fast, reliable restoration of damaged underground fiber optic service drops. Its compact, rugged design protects fiber splices in direct-buried applications while providing installers with a dependable solution for restoring service without replacing the entire drop.

Unlike a distribution splice enclosure, the Leatherback is purpose-built for point-to-point underground repairs. A secure screw-close housing and re-enterable gasket provide long-term environmental protection while allowing future access for maintenance or network upgrades. Whether responding to accidental dig-ins or damaged buried drops, the Leatherback helps technicians restore service quickly and confidently.
