2.1 Introduction
The NEMA-Rated Fiber Optic Wallmount Enclosure is perfect for applications where your fiber cabling is located in a damp environment or could be exposed to condensation that could affect your fiber terminations. The enclosure is rated NEMA 4.
Mount this enclosure to a solid surface, such as a cinder block wall. The enclosure includes a single rubber gasket door with a hex

724-746 -5500.
• (1) fiber wallmount enclosure with internal 2-adapter panel bracket and two semicircle rings and splice tray installed
NOTE: Waterproof cable grommets support bulk cable from 6-mm minimum to 14-mm maximum.
3. Installation
Complete the following steps to install the enclosure:
1. Hold the enclosure against the wall where you want to install it. Make sure the cabinet is positioned so the two holes on the
enclosure are facing down.
2. Position the four mounting tab ears on the wall. See Figure 1.
3. You may use the wallmounting template to help align holes for installation.

6. With the enclosure door open, install the round waterproof cable grommets.
7. Slide the fiber cable through the watertight seals. Then tighten the seal so the rubber gasket is secure around the cable trunk.
The NEMA Rated Fiber Optic Wallmount Enclosure supports one fiber cable going into and one fiber cable going out of the
enclsoure. See Figure 3.

NOTE: You may use the waterproof grommets if you’re not ready to install cable yet, but still want to mount the enclosure. Be
sure to install the rubber plugs (included) to make a watertight seal on each opening. Push each plug into the grommet
until it is flush with the grommet’s bottom.
8. After the fiber trunk cables are installed inside the enclosure, secure the fiber in place with Kevlar® clamps located around the
inside of the enclosure.
9. The left side of the enclosure accommodates cable management and fiber splicing. Two semi-circular rings (already installed) help manage
the loose distribution fiber strands. A two-port six-strand fiber splice tray is already installed. Both the semi-circular rings and splice tray can
be reconfigured to best suit your application. See the examples in Figures 4 and 5.

remove the internal bracket. The fiber bracket can be positioned on the top or bottom—see Figure 6.

11. After all fiber splices and terminations are complete, attach the warning label and port ID stickers that are included with
your cabinet. Place the cable management sticker on the inside lid to identify your fiber. Once complete, shut the door and
lock it with the included hex key. Your fiber is now secure inside a NEMA-rated enclosure.
12. The enclosure’s front door is shipped hinged on the left side. To change the orientation of the enclosure’s front door to
hinge on the right side: Pop off the rubber stoppers on the screw holes on the right side of the enclosure. Remove the
screws holding the door to the left side of the enclosure, then remove the door. Using the screws you just removed, attach
the door to the right side of the enclosure. Tighten the screws now holding the door hinge on the enclosure’s right side and
install the rubber stoppers on the enclosure’s left side.
