Handholes are underground access points that provide access to buried fiber optic cables and conduit for splicing, maintenance, and network management. This article explains handhole installation and its importance for Alabama fiber networks.

What Is a Handhole?

A handhole (also called a pull box or splice box) is a pre-cast concrete or polymer underground enclosure installed flush with the ground surface. They provide access to underground fiber conduit for cable pulls, splicing, and ongoing maintenance. Boring Bros LLC installs handholes throughout Alabama as part of comprehensive fiber conduit installation projects.

Handhole Spacing and Placement for Alabama Fiber Projects

Handholes are typically placed at conduit direction changes, at splice points, and at maximum cable pull distances (usually 500-1,000 feet apart). Proper handhole placement reduces installation costs and simplifies future maintenance and network expansion.
