Retro-cabinets facilitate the expansion of existing 40/42-type pad mounted cross-connect cabinets without service interruption.

Ideal for areas which have outgrown the original circuit capacity, retro-cabinets eliminate the costs and right-of-way approvals associated with placing a new cabinet.

• designed to original cabinet footprint

• repairable/replaceable

• utilizes existing terminal field

• includes all internal components and hardware to
  facilitate expansion

A range of accessory and replacement products are offered for use with NGXC cross-connect cabinets.

Mounting frames are available to facilitate mounting on a poured concrete pad. Conduit templates and replacement cable seals for bringing cable into the cabinet, jumper wire spools, decals and kits to make rigid terminal fields able to fold down are also available to fit all NGXC cabinets. Terminal specific items are also available.

The CSC cell site cabinet electronic demarcation enclosure is a versatile remote cabinet capable of supporting copper and fiber channel banks in provisioning multiple hand-offs throughout the network. The enclosure features multiple pad-lockable entry points allowing Telco access to the equipment and splice areas as well as the battery compartment. Secure demarcation point (customer access) door is pad-lockable with Telco override.

Equipment and splice areas are isolated and sealed to prevent outside contamination. A double wall at the rear and top of the cabinet enables cooling through natural convection. Thermostatically controlled, fan driven "flowthru" system draws cool outside air through the battery compartment, forces it upward between the double walls, and over heat sinks at the rear of the unit, and then vents it through the upper portion of the cabinet.
During cold weather, thermostatically controlled heating elements maintain battery operating temperature.

The Add on Terminal (AOT) is an economical way to add pairs to an existing Network Cross Connect Cabinet to expand capacity or to accommodate new services.
The AOT works with any existing Cross Connect and the sealing integrity of the original cabinet remains in tact.
