FEATURES
This section describes the exterior and interior features of the
Westell
r
Boxer
t
outdoor cabinet in more detail. Refer to
Figure 2 through Figure 11 as needed while reading this section.
2.1
Exterior Features
The features located outside the large main cabinet are de
scribed hereunder. See Paragraph 2.2 for the interior features.
2.1.1
Construction and Materials
The Boxer‐16 cabinet is designed to be weather‐tight for above‐
ground applications. As such, the powder‐coat painted alumi
num cabinet withstands many harsh weather conditions such as
rain, snow, and sleet.
2.1.2
Cabinet
The cabinet utilizes an “in‐the‐door” heat exchanger design.
Cabinet cooling is accomplished through the front‐door‐
mounted heat exchanger, fans, and vents. Security is provided
via a 2‐point latch, a cup‐washer screw and a padlock hasp. Side‐

wall lift ears (Paragraph 2.1.2.5) are provided for temporary
installation lift‐assistance. The bottom floor of the main cabinet
contains numerous, differently‐sized, intact knock‐outs (Para
graph 2.1.2.6) to accommodate a variety of cable, fitting, or
conduit sizes and types.
2.1.2.1
Large Cabinet Door
A full‐size locking door provides ample technician and equip
ment access to the interior of the cabinet and also helps protect
the cabinet from tampering and vandalism. When the cabinet is
mounted and the door is open, the clearance or distance from
the back of the cabinet to the outer edge of the open door is
approximately 43.5” (as shown in Figure 3). The cabinet's cool
ing system is based in the door, with screened holes, a heat
exchanger and fans mounted in the door. At the inside bottom
of the door, near the hinge, a wind‐latch, shown in Figure 2, pro
tects the door (and technician) from possible wind damage. The
wind latch restricts the door's swing‐out angle to a safe but func
tional opening (95 degrees). In the closed position, the inside
perimeter of the door abuts a gasket installed around the outer
perimeter of the cabinet's door opening. When the door is
closed and tightened, the door and gasket provide a weather‐
tight seal to protect all equipment installed inside the cabinet.
The door sensor is described in Paragraph 2.2.2.
2.1.2.2
Door Handle, Door Locks and Panel Lock(s)
Built into the 2‐point latching door handle is a padlock hasp and
a tamper‐proof hex nut‐in‐cup‐washer screw for locking the
door. The cup‐washer screw (Figure 2) is loosened and tight
ened with a standard telco can wrench or 216 tool. In addition
to providing security, when fully‐tightened, this cup‐ washer
screw helps to seal the cabinet and protect the interior environ
ment from outside elements or contaminants by compressing
the door and panel against their gasket(s). Additional security is
offered for the door via a hasp in the handle that accepts a field‐
provided lock or padlock. Once the locks are open, lift the bot
tom of the handle and rotate the handle counter‐clockwise to
release the 2‐point latch.
When closing and locking the door, the
door must be pushed fully closed before actuating the swing handle,
or damage to the locking mechanism may result.
2.1.2.3
Rear‐Access Panel (Detachable)
The rear‐access panel (Figure 6) can be removed for conve
nient access to the rear of equipment mounted inside Boxer‐16.
