The BRX-XLR-2 comes with additional optional kits to facilitate mounting on a pole or to strand-
mount the device (in-between 2 telephone poles).
7.2.1 BRX-XLR-2 Pole Mounting Option
Although the BRX-XLR-2 enclosure can easily be screwed into a standard telephone pole, a pole
mounting kit (BRX-XLR-POLE-KIT) is also available. Using a metallic or plastic strap as per the
diagram below is convenient when you want to avoid having to screw the BRX-XLR-2 enclosure
directly into the pole.
When using the BRX-XLR-POLE-KIT, simply insert a metallic or plastic strap into the rectangular slot
(0.2” by 0.8” / 5 mm by 20.3 mm) in the mounting flange at both ends of the BRX-XLR-2 and
enclosure and secure around the pole as per the diagram below.
