The difference between cement manhole and SMC material splicing manhole

Cement manholes have been a standard in the telecom industry for years, but recent developments have led to the use of SMC material splicing manholes. SMC, or Sheet Moulding Compound, is a composite material that is known for its high strength, low weight, and durability. Here are some of the differences between cement manholes and SMC material splicing manholes:

Weight:

Cement manholes are heavy and require specialized equipment to transport and install. SMC material splicing manholes are much lighter and can be easily moved and installed by a single person.

Durability: 

Cement manholes are prone to cracking and chipping, especially when exposed to extreme weather conditions. SMC material splicing manholes are highly resistant to weathering and can withstand extreme temperatures and UV radiation.

Installation time: 

Cement manholes require significant time and effort to install, which can cause delays in project completion. SMC material splicing manholes can be installed quickly and easily, reducing project completion time and costs.

Maintenance: 

Cement manholes require regular maintenance to prevent cracking and water leakage. SMC material splicing manholes require minimal maintenance and are less prone to leakage due to their seamless design.

In summary, SMC material splicing manholes offer several advantages over cement manholes, including lower weight, higher durability, faster installation, and lower maintenance requirements. As the telecom industry continues to evolve, it is likely that SMC material splicing manholes will become the standard for FTTH deployments.
