Product Overview
The 4300 Remote BAC is a pole-mounted or wall-mounted outdoor telecommunications equipment cabinet. The
cabinet has overall dimensions of 26 inches high x 19 inches deep x 22 inches wide. See the figures on the
following pages for details.
The cabinet is constructed of aluminum with a powder coat painted finish for reduced weight and superior corrosion
resistance. The front door is equipped with a quarter turn padlockable door latch. The top of the cabinet has a
double wall construction to reduce the effects of solar radiation and for structural integrity.
Cooling is provided by a –48 VDC fan ventilation system. The fan is mounted to the roof of the cabinet behind the
equipment. The fan pulls air through the front door of the cabinet and exhausts the air through the roof overhang
and the louvers in the sides of the roof.
The left front of the equipment-mounting bay has 6U (10.5 inches) of 19" rack space provided for mounting up to
three GranDSLAM 4200 assemblies (1U each) and a rectifier or a DC-DC converter (2U each). An additional 1U is
provided for future expansion. Two swing-out 19” racks are provided on the right side of the equipment bay for
mounting up to four 50 pair protection/cross connect assemblies (200 pair capacity). Each protection/cross connect
swing-out rack has 4U of 19” rack space (8U total).
Cable entry and exit from the cabinet passes through two sealing boots located in the bottom rear of the equipment
bay. The master grounding bus bar is located on the rear wall of the equipment bay on the left side. AC and DC
power centers are mounted to the rear wall on the right side.

CABINET CONFIGURATIONS
Three basic cabinet configurations are offered as explained below. Expansion kits are provided to increase the capacity
of each configuration to up to three GranDSLAM 4200 DSLAMs. Kits are also provided for fan and filter replacement and
for pole or wall mounting brackets.
Model numbers are of the form 43WX-P1-Y0Z, where:
• W is the DSL type (1 for ReachDSL, 2 for ADSL, 3 for ADSL Annex B, 7 for SHDSL)
• X is the uplink type (1 for T1 ATM, 2 for E1 ATM, 3 for 8-port T1/E1 IMA, 9 for 10/100/1000BaseT/GigE fiber)
• Y is the power type (1 for externally-fed –48/–60 VDC, 2 for AC, 3 for line power)
• Z is the splitter option (0 for 900 ohm, 1 for 600 ohm)
The three basic cabinet configurations are:
Model 1 (Feature Number 43xx-P1-10x) - Cabinet to be used at existing remote terminal sites, where the RT can
supply –48 VDC power. This model will be wired for one GranDSLAM assembly.
Model 2 (Feature Number 43xx-P1-20x) – Cabinet to be used where AC power is available. This model will be
wired for one GranDSLAM assembly and will include an AC load center and a –48 VDC rectifier.
Model 3 (Feature Number 43xx-P1-30x) – Cabinet to be used where AC power is not available. Power to the cabinet
will be provided by up to 25 common pairs. The tips and rings of the pairs are bussed together and fed to a DC-DC
converter, which provides the –48 VDC power to the GranDSLAM assemblies. The input voltage to the DC-DC converter
is 90 to 400 VDC. This model will be wired for one GranDSLAM assembly.
