Advantages and Cost Benefits of New OFDT-24

The new OFDT-24 design allows for micro-ducts to enter into the back of the OFDT box. The 8" x 3" oval cut-out on the right side of the back wall allows the installer to locate the OFDT right over the micro-ducts exiting the building. This feature eliminates the need for the transitional NEMA box used to transition from the micro-duct exit location into the OFDT. This new feature offers cost, labor, and aesthetic benefits to the MDU building owners over the current installation method. When not used, the oval cut-out can be covered with the provided gasketed plate. There is also a knock-out hole in the bottom of the cabinet to accommodate every type of installation application.
