1. Description

Telect’s MDC-CB is an indoor/outdoor fiber telecommunication distribution cabinet. The cabinet houses Telect’s bulkhead-style Patch Modules to handle optical signal distribution between a CO and the network edge. A single MDC-CB cabinet with up to six Telect Patch Modules can provide distribution service to 432 homes, offices and/or nodes.

The weather-tight, heavy-gauge, light-weight aluminum cabinet is almond with two lockable doors — both doors have wind stays. OSP feeder and distribution cable enter through weather-tight cable clamps at the bottom of the rear com- partment:

Illustrations that follow depict open-door views of MDC-CB cabinets with and without in-cabinet splicing.

Along with the cabinet, Telect includes a footprint template which is also the isolation pad, two cable entrance clamps for two feeder cables between 3/8 in. (9.6

mm)and 11/5 in. (30.5 mm) in diameter, and a 9/32 in. Allen-head key for open- ing the door latches. The MDC-CB includes a 6-in. base. A 12-in. Telect base (Model MDC-R12) is optional.

Physically, the only difference between MDC-CB cabinets with or without splicing is the splice box on the rear door. Feeder and distribution cabling for the two is, however, quite different.
