UNSPSC 43223339: Fiber optic distribution box

A type of device that is connected to the optical fiber cable, optical termination equipment or optical transmission device. And this device is structured with the optical adaptor board, distributor or optical fiber splice plate to enable the connection and switching between the systems and be equipped with optical attenuator.

UNSPSC 43223339 Fiber optic distribution box, a Commodity code, represents a discrete product line within fiber optic infrastructure that state and local governments procure primarily as components of larger network deployment, maintenance, and connectivity projects rather than as standalone items. Recent state and local solicitations show the code appearing as a subsidiary element within broader fiber optic system scopes—distribution boxes are specified alongside cable, conduit, termination hardware, and installation services in requests for turnkey fiber network construction, intelligent transportation system (ITS) upgrades, and wide-area network (WAN) connectivity between municipal facilities and state network hubs.

Issuing bodies span city infrastructure departments, county transportation and utilities authorities, regional school districts, state information technology agencies, and special-purpose transit districts. The City of Palo Alto Utilities Division, Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division, Illinois Department of Information Technology, Madison County School System, City of Charlotte, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Clarke County School District appear across multiple recent solicitations where fiber distribution components are embedded within cabling, conduit installation, and network integration work. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Palo Alto fiber cable procurement, Broward County adaptive traffic control and fiber systems, Seminole County traffic maintenance, City of Ocala inventory), Illinois (DoIT metro-ethernet and dark fiber IRU procurements spanning Carbondale, Fithian, and multi-POP routes), Georgia (Burke County BEAD fiber materials, Sandy Springs ITS fiber design, Clarke County school connectivity), and Texas (Brownsville 5G/ITS deployment, Harris County toll road fiber maintenance). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Palo Alto's RFQ 198248 (July 1, 2026) for 75,000 feet of 432-fiber optic cable meeting Telcordia GR-20 and ICEA 640 standards; Broward County's ITB for Pine Island Road Adaptive Traffic Control and Fiber Optics Systems (due March 9, 2026) covering fiber signal communication systems from Orange Grove Drive to Broward Boulevard; Burke County's sealed-bid procurement (due May 6, 2026) for fiber optic cable and handholes under the federal BEAD program; and Collier County's IFB 258391 for security enhancements and an emergency generator at Immokalee Airport (due July 31, 2026), which includes fiber optic duct bank and pull boxes as part of Schedule A security infrastructure. The code shows consistent activity but appears almost exclusively as a component specification within complex construction or network modernization projects rather than as a procured commodity on its own; standalone procurement of distribution boxes as discrete inventory items is not evident in the recent opportunity set.
