5.3 BRX-XLR-24 packaging
The BRX-XLR-24 comes equipped with an IP65 enclosure that houses up to twelve (12) two-pair
modules using the BRX-24S shelf (as per image on the right below) for a total of twenty-four (24)
subscriber loops. Each BRX-XLR-M card has solid-state primary lightning protection for both pairs;
where required, an optional 24-pairs IN and 24-pairs OUT protection module that can house standard
gas tube modules can be inserted as per figure 14 when it is standard practice to always use on
additional gas tube protection for any OSP device. In cases where more than 2 but less than 24
pairs are required, it is possible to order an empty enclosure (BRX-24CS) and the required number of
BRX-XLR-M 2-pair modules that are required. Any empty slots in the BRX-24CS may be filled with
BRX-BYPASS-TEST modules to allow for the pre-wiring of all the pairs in and out of the BRX-24CS
enclosure.

Note:
The BRX-24S can also be inserted in suitable 3
rd
party pedestal and enclosures with an IP65 or
higher environmental rating. For instance, you can order the BRX-XLR-24-1SXPF where an Emerson
CAD-12 pedestal is factory installed with a BRX-24S, 12 BRX-XLR-M modules and an optional cross-
connect and protection module (figure 15). The Emerson CAD-12 pedestal can also be fitted with two (2)
BRX-24S to amplify up to 48 pairs when you select the BRX-XLR-48-1SXPF version as per figure 16.
Please refer to the BRX Product Selection Guide for more details.
