Product Purpose and Description
Boxer is a compact, actively‐cooled, GR‐487 Issue 4‐compliant
outdoor cabinet that can house and protect a wide range of
electronic equipment. Up to 10 vertical RUs (17.5”) of 19‐inch
wide internal rack space is available to house Network equip
ment such as (but not limited to) multiplexers, copper bonding
solutions, Ethernet switches and media converters, xDSL
boxes, and DS3 hand‐offs. Protectively mounted on the Boxer
front door, separate from the interior rack space, is a heat ex
changer and fan unit. Mounted on the inside left wall is a
controller card with factory‐installed wiring for the fans, tem
perature and door alarms, and a 5A fan fuse. External wiring
at the card from the power source and alarm monitoring equip
ment is accomplished using “Euro‐connector” snap‐in
terminal blocks on the card which can be quickly disconnected
and later re‐attached for easy connections.
Boxer supports rapid equipment installation and wiring
through the use of adjustable and removable 19” rack channels.
An access panel is located at the rear of Boxer to allow easy ac
cess to the rear of the installed equipment. To ensure easy
access for input and out cabling, Boxer includes ample room
below the rack space as well as various sized conduit knock‐
outs.
