Product Purpose and Description
The VEUE-30 VirtualEdge Universal Enclosure (VEUE) is a
wall-mountable, compact, two-door, secure-access universal
enclosure that serves as an interface for an ethernet hand-off
point by the Telco to terminate any 10Base-T, 100Base-T,
Cat5E, fiber, or Coax services (or a combination thereof), typi-
cally at the CPE point of demarcation. The service terminated
is determined by the coupler type used inside the enclosure,
and the enclosure accommodates up to 12 field-provided cou-
plers that can be installed in one of three, detachable,
4-position, LGX
r
-type panels. Cable access to either the pad-
lockable Customer side of the enclosure or the key-lockable
Network side is made through either top, bottom, or side-wall
rubber grommets. Also on the Network side is a two-piece
spool for fiber cable storage (removable if space is a concern).
A removable divider wall between the compartments doubles
as a mounting plate for the three LGX-type panels.
To enable a greater variety of service and interface offerings, ser-
vice providers are putting more fiber into customer premises, via
either Fiber-to-the-Premise or placing more fiber multiplexers
and IP aggregation devices closer to subscribers. In business
markets, the strong demand for Transparent LAN and Virtual
Private Network services, where the customer’s LAN is ex-
tended over the Service Provider Network to provide native
Ethernet service, creates numerous applications for Westell’s
VirtualEdge Enclosures.

Product Mounting
The VEUE-30 is typically mounted to a wall or equipment
backboard at the customer premises hand-off point.
