The feeder and distribution cables enter/exit the cabinet from the bottom. Compression
fittings are provided for securing each cable to the
outside
of the cabinet. The
compression fitting grips the cable sheath and also prevents dirt and moisture from
entering the cabinet at the cable entry/exit point. For cables that will be spliced,
additional clamps are provided for securing the cable to the inside of the cabinet.
Accessory kits are available separately for OSP cables that require grounding. Most
grounding kits provide a terminal connection to the metallic elements within the cable.
Cables may then be grounded by connecting a #6 wire (terminated with ring terminals)
between the grounding terminal on the cable and one of the three grounding studs
provided within the cabinet. The cabinet itself may be grounded by connecting a #6
solid copper grounding cable (from an approved earth ground source) to a lug on the
outside of the cabinet.
The exterior shell of the outdoor cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum and
is coated with an almond-colored finish. The cabinet is equipped with one front door
that provides full access to the optical components. The cabinet door is equipped with
stainless steel hinges, a door catch that prevents accidental closing, and two tamper-
resistant door keepers that may be fitted with padlocks. Access to the cabinet requires
a
216B key
tool (accessory) to release the door keeper screws. A screen vent allows
any moisture that may accumulate within the cabinet to be released.
The Mini FDH 3000 cabinet is designed to be installed in either an indoor or an outdoor
environment. When used indoors, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all
cables used in the installation are rated for indoor use.
