Cabinet

Base

Telect’s MDC-CB is an indoor/outdoor fiber telecommunication distribution cabinet. The cabinet h ouses T elect’s bulkhead-style Patch Modules to handle optical signal distributio n 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 compartment:

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 mm) and 1 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.

* Splitter and Patch Modules are sold separately.

Cabling without in-cabinet splicing involves an aerial or below-ground splice box for splicing the distribution and feeder cables to connectorized cabinet cabling.

• At the cabinet, the OSP distribution cable is clamped at the floor of the rear compartment and then routed along the cabinet’s compartment partition. The connectorized 250 µm strands break out here into subunits/buffers and then connected to one of the six possible, 72-channel Patch Modules. Each patch module contains SC/APC adapters to interface the distribution fiber in the rear compartment to the cross connections in the front compartment.

• Feeder cable is anchored along the rear side wall where 900 µm fiber breaks out into subunits/buffers and routed to 16 SC/APC interface adapters near the top of the cabinet.

Each SC/APC adapter at the top of the cabinet serves to feed the fiber signal to a blue jumper in the front compartment, shown in the preceding illustration. The blue jumper is routed down through the right portion of t he front compartment, then around a couple of spools and an arc. The two spools at the bottom route the blue fiber to a Telect Splitter Module.

Up to 18, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, or 1x32 Telect Splitter Modules can be installed in the splitter bulkhead at the bottom of the front compartment. Each splitter module consists of the splitter, one blue “input” jumper, and either 4, 8, 16, or 32 yellow “output” jumpers. All are 2 mm jumpers, 2.1 m in length.

Splitter module installation and all of the distribution changes occur in this front compartment:

• Unassigned jumpers are routed via spools and arcs to a parking station for later subscriber assignment.

• Assigned jumpers are routed via the spools and arcs to the front of the SC/APC adapters in the front of the patch modules for cross connection to the distribution fiber connected to the rear of the patch modules.

The following illustration shows a deployed cabinet along with a partially cabled rear compartment.

MDC-CB WITH REAR COMPARTMENT IN-CABINET SPLICING

The distribution and feeder OSP enter the cabinet at the floor of the rear compartment. The installer clamps the cable and breaks out the fiber into 3-mm, radius-control (limited bend) loose tubing. The installer anchors feeder and distribution tubes along the cabinet’s side wall and rear door.The tubes are guided to the top of the optional splice box located on the door.

The optional in-cabinet Telect Splice Box (Model MDC-SPLC) holds three pods of splice cassettes surrounded by a runway for the loose tubing.

needed to accommodate all 432 subscribers. For the distribution splices, each pod would hold 6 splice cassettes plus one additional cassette on one of the pods for up to 16 feeder splices.

Feeder and distribution strands are spliced to connectorized fiber protected by 3-mm, radius control loose tubing. All tubing from the cassettes to the feeder interface and patch modules cross the door hinge near the top of the cabinet. The tubing is anchored along the compartment partition and guided to SC/APC feeder or distribution adapters:

• The feeder interface near the top, rear-side of the cabinet contains 16 adapters to pass feeder signals to the front compartment splitters.

• The distribution adapters are located on 72-port modules (Models MDC-P72N). Fa n-out blocks on the Patch Modules are used to accommodate the transition from 3-mm, multi-fiber loose tubing to 900 µm transparent tubes, one for each of the 72 fibers. A total of 6 Patch Modules accommodate the 432 possible subscribers. The SC/APC adapters pass signals to the front compartment for assignment patching.

FRONT COMPARTMENT CROSS CONNECTIONS

Front compartment feeder and cross-connect cabling is the same for cabinets with or without in-cabinet splicing. Each SC/APC adapter at the top of the cabinet serves to feed the fiber signal to a blue jumper in the front compartment. The blue

jumper is routed down through the right portion of the front compartment, then around a couple of spools and an arc. The two spools at the bottom route the blue fiber to a Telect Splitter Module.

NOTE: Dimensions are in in. (mm)

Please note the following recommendations:

• Telect recommends that the cabinet be mounted with either the 6-in.-high base or optional 12-in.-high base (Models MDCR12) or a suitable vault, along with the isolation pad included with the cabinet. (See “Standard Accessories” Page 7-1.) If the cabinet is mounted to a concrete pad without a pedestal or vault, the stub-up conduit for the cables must be positioned accurately and must be either absolutely flush with or countersunk below the top of the pad.

• For a cabinet with a Telect base, the stub-up conduit should not rise above a concrete pad more than about 3 in. (~75 mm) for a 6-in.-high base and about 6 in. (~150 mm) for a 12-in .-high base. See the following illustration.

• Telect recommends running cables in 4-in. stub-up conduit. Normally, two 4-in. conduits are necessary: one for the feeder cable(s) and at least one for the distribution cable(s), as shown in the illustration that follows. Prefer to run feeder cable as close as possible to the grounding bar — regardless if feeder is armored or unarmored.

• Don’t forget to make room for growth. Add additional 4-in. conduit and cap off the end(s) at the edge of or beyond the pad.

• Telect recommends anchors at all four corners. Upper end of anchor bolts must extend between 1¼ in. and 1½ in. above top of pad, grating, or platform.

• For outdoor deployment, Telect recommends that, in addition to the isolation pad provided with the cabinet, that the customer plan for and provide a suitable water-tight gasket between the bottom of the cabinet and the pad. Use the preceding illustration to mark and cut a rectangular hole for cable entrance.

vice Department. Use the original, undamaged container if you are instructed to return a panel to Telect. If a shipping container is damaged, keep it for the carrier’s inspection. Notify the carrier and call Telect’s Customer Service Depart-

ment at 1-800-551-4567 or 1-509-926-6000

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation. If you need assistance call Technical Support at 888-821-4856 (domestic calls), or 509-921-6161 (Option 2), or eMAIL us at getinfo@telect.com

1. Inspect equipment after unpacking and compare it to the packing list. Immediately report any shipping damage, defects, or missing parts to

Telect at 1-800-551-4567. Keep all documentation that comes with your shipment.

2. Remove lifting rings at top of cabinet and then resecure as shown on the right.

3. Before moving cabinet is ready: namely,

• If installation includes a vault, make sure vault-to-cabinet adapter is

in place.

, make sure the pad, grating, vault, or other support

• If using Telect’s seismic anchor kit (Model MDC-CBAK), install anchors

lows: a. Drill an 18 mm (

/32-in.) diameter hole, 100 to 115 mm (4¼ to 4½ in.) deep,

at each of the four anchor locations.

b. Clean out holes using a shop vacuum, compressed air, or blow-out bulb.

Clean away debris.

c. Place round washer on rod and then thread torque nut onto the rod. The

washer should touch the top of the metal sleeve.

d. Insert anchor assembly (without the square washer) into hole. Tap anchor

rod down with a hammer until washer touches the concrete.

e. Pre-torque anchoring nuts to approximately 30 ft-lb (~40 N•m) using a ¾ in.

(19 mm) socket or box wrench. Do not overtighten. Over-tightening will cause the torque nut to prematurely

shear off from the plastic-encased holding nut. f. Remove torque nut and washer, leaving anchor and stud in place. g. For exterior installation on a concrete pad, place a water-tight gasket with

cutouts for conduit and anchors on top of pre-installed pad.

4. If installation includes a base (recommended), proceed as follows: a. Place base over anchor studs, as shown in the following illustration.
