Telect’s MDC-CB is an indoor/outdoor fiber telecommunication distribu-
tion 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 iso-
lation pad, two cable entrance clamps for two feeder cables between
3
/8 in. (9.6
mm) and 1
1
/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 splic-
ing is the splice box on the rear door. Feeder and distribution cabling for the two
is, however, quite different.
