PPLICATIONS
The primary application of the HRE-454 remote enclosure is to house HiGain remote or doubler units in a HiGain
repeaterless T1 transmission system. The HRE-454 is an outdoor enclosure with four single-width 400 mechanical
slots. It has a single gel-filled stub (List 1A, List 1B, List 3, and List 5) or air-filled stub (List 2A, List 2B, List 4,
and List 6).
The air-filled unit can be pressurized locally or from the main feeder cable through an air core stub. This air core
stub protects the air-filled unit from flooding with water when it is mounted in underground manholes. The
gel-filled unit is intended for above ground pole mounting applications.
shows the gel-filled HRE-454 and
shows the air-filled HRE-454. The
gel-filled version comes with a combination air stem/air intake T-valve while the air-filled version comes with an
air stem. The T-valve provides the option of pressurizing the gel-filled unit locally. Another noticeable difference
is that, in the gel-filled unit, the pressure relief valve is replaced by a breather vent valve. However, both units
have primary gas tube surge protection on all signal ports.

card cage is also shown. Remote or doubler units are installed in these slots.
