2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 Application - The CoolPedPLUS Splice
Cabinet (shown in Fig. 1) houses
air vents
environmentally-hardened electronics. It
can accommodate up to four
customer-supplied Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs), two in the
front and two in the back, and four Network
Interface Units (NIUs), two in the front and
two in the back. Its large air vents and
louvers
numerous louvers provide the air flow
required by 48-port DSLAMs.
2.2 Construction - The CoolPedPLUS Splice
Cabinet is constructed of bolted
mill-galvanized steel and has a durable
painted finish. It has a round cornered,
rectangular design, and its louvered doors
provide optimal ventilation. To ease
installation, the lower front cover can be
removed by loosening the hex head bolts on
the sides of the cover and lifting the cover
up.

Cabinet
2.3 Doors and Locking Mechanisms - There are doors on the front and back of the
cabinet, equipped with wind latches that secure the doors when open. Each pair
of doors is secured by a latch at the top and bottom of the doors. A 216-type tool is
required to open the doors, and padlock hasps provide the option for additional
security. The doors can be removed by opening them and lifting them off the
hinges.
2.4 Mounting - The cabinet can be mounted on a pad or on a stake. Pad mounting is
recommended.

3. INSTALLING THE CABINET
CAUTION
Notify the proper personnel, and perform all local safety procedures before installing
the cabinet.
3.1 Preparation
3.1.1 You Will Need - To prepare the cabinet for mounting, you will need cable caps and
tape (if the cable will not be looped through the cabinet).
3.1.2 Procedure - Perform the following steps to prepare for the installation of the
cabinet:
Step 1: Place the cabinet as shown on the construction work prints.
The cable or cables are normally placed on the trench line. When
offsetting cables from the cable trench, the engineer needs to specify
each location for the splice cabinets and needs to indicate on the
construction drawings the amount of offset.
Note: If possible, avoid offsetting a cabinet from the trench line.
Offset cables of this type are difficult to locate, and the cables
are often cut when other excavations or cable placement
occurs.
ALERT
When installed, the cabinet must be level.
Step 2: Decide whether the cabinet will be mounted on a pad or on stakes.
When mounted on a pad, the top of the cabinet is about 48 inches
(121.9 cm) above the pad. When mounted on stakes, the top of the
cabinet is 44 to 46 inches (111.8 to 116.8 cm) above the final grade.
Note: Pad mounting offers the greatest stability and security.
When stake mounting, you must exercise extra care in
leveling the pedestal. If you do not properly level a
stake-mounted pedestal, operation may be affected.
Step 3: At the cabinet location, place the cable as prescribed on the construction
work prints and in accordance with local practices.
Leave the appropriate amount of cable above the ground. The amount of
cable needed will vary depending on how the cabinet is mounted and on
whether or not the cable will be looped through the cabinet.
Note: If you will be installing the cabinet in a manner other than
those described in this section (Section 3.1), the engineer
must specify the amount of cable that is to be looped through
the cabinet.

If the cable will be looped through the cabinet, a cable loop that
is 90 inches (2.3 m) long, measured from the point the cable exits the
ground to the point it reenters the ground, should extend above the
ground line. (See Fig. 3.)
If the cable will not be looped through the cabinet, each end of
the cable should extend about 24 inches (60 cm) above the ground
line. (See Fig. 4.) Seal the open cable ends with cable caps and tape
to prevent water and dirt from entering the cable core.
ALERT
Do not leave an excessive length of cable above the ground.

3.2 Mounting the Cabinet on a Pad
Note: To ease installation, the doors of the cabinet can be removed, as well
as the lower front cover.
3.2.1 You Will Need - To mount the cabinet on a pad, you will need to supply:
•
•
four 1/2-13 threaded anchors and
a socket wrench.
3.2.2 Procedure - Perform the following steps to mount the cabinet on a pad:
Step 1: Unpack the cabinet and dispose of the packing materials properly.
Step 2: Install 1/2-13 threaded anchors in the pad at the locations shown in
Fig. 5. Center the mounting holes around the pad’s cable opening or
according to local practices. (The slots on the bottom of the cabinet for
the pad mounting hardware are shown in Fig. 6.)

CAUTION
When moving a CoolPedPLUS Splice Cabinet from its pallet to the installation location, be careful to not let the cabinet bend or flex as damage to the cabinet could
result.
Step 3: Slide the cabinet around the cable loop that extends from the pad’s cable
opening.
Step 4: Secure all cables inside the cabinet, and reattach the lower front cover.
Step 5: Align the four front and rear pad mounting flanges, located on the inside
of the cabinet’s base, with the anchors in the pad.
Step 6: Use the 1/2-13 mounting bolts and washers, included in the loose parts
bag inside the cabinet, to secure the cabinet at each of the four mounting
holes.

3.3 Mounting the Cabinet on Stakes
Note: Mounting on a pad (as described in Section 3.2 on page 5) offers the
greatest stability for the cabinet. If you are stake-mounting the
cabinet, exercise care and extra attention when leveling the cabinet.
Note: To ease installation, the doors of the cabinet can be removed, as well
as the lower front cover.
3.3.1 You Will Need - To mount the cabinet on stakes, you will need:
•
•
•
•
equipment to dig a trench,
a 216-type tool or a 3/8-inch (1 cm) thin-walled socket driver or wrench.
a crescent wrench, and
a rubber mallet or hammer.
3.3.2 Procedure - Perform the following steps to mount the cabinet on stakes:
Step 1: Unpack the cabinet and dispose of the packing materials properly.
Step 2: Dig a rectangular hole with approximately the dimensions listed in
Table A.
TABLE A - Hole Dimensions

length: 40 inches (102 cm)
40 inches (102 cm)
width: 26 inches (66 cm)

depth: 10 inches (25 cm) or less 4 inches (10 cm) or less
ALERT
There should be about 5 inches (13 cm) between the bottom of the doors and the
finished grade level.
Step 3: If you are using the Stabilizer Kit, then use the four 1/4-20x3/4 hex bolts,
5/16-inch washers, lock washers, and nuts from the kit to attach the
stabilizers to the mounting slots on each side of the bottom of the
cabinet, as shown in Fig. 7.

Step 4: Place the cabinet over the cable loop that extends from the ground.
Step 5: Mark the approximate locations on the ground where the stakes would
mount on the inside of each side of the cabinet (as shown in Fig. 8), and
lift the cabinet out and away from the hole.
Step 6: Pound the mounting stakes into the ground, in the locations indicated by
the marks you have made, so that the stakes will protrude at least
4 inches (10 cm) above the finished grade. Take special care to drive the
stakes straight into the ground.
WARNING
When stake mounting the cabinet, be careful not to damage the cable when
driving the stakes into the ground.
Step 7: If local bonding and grounding practices require a ground rod, install it,
and attach a sufficient length of 6 AWG copper wire to the ground rod
with a ground rod clamp, per local practices.
Step 8: Place the cabinet over the cable loop that extends from the ground, and
align the mounting locations on the side of the cabinet with the
mounting holes provided on the mounting stakes.
Note: It may be necessary to adjust the mounting stakes slightly
to align the holes properly.
Step 9: Secure all cables inside the cabinet. (One cable tie-down bracket is
provided in the center of the cabinet. Another cable tie-down bracket is
provided in the base.) Then reattach the lower front cover.

Step 10: Use the 3/8-inch (1.0 cm) mounting hardware from the loose parts kit to
secure the stakes to the cabinet. The stakes are to be mounted on the
inside of the cabinet. (See Fig. 8.)
Step 11: Backfill around the outside of the cabinet with soil. At final grade, the
top 5 inches (13 cm) of the lower front cover should be above ground, and
the bottom 4 inches (10 cm) or less should be below ground.
Step 12: Place gravel inside the cabinet or as local practices apply.
3.4 Cable Preparation, Grounding, and Splicing
Perform the following steps to complete the installation of the cabinet:
Step 1: Prepare the cables according to local practices.
Step 2: Perform all remaining bonding and grounding procedures according to
local practices. A ground bar is provided in the base of the cabinet.
Step 3: Perform all splicing operations as applicable according to local practices.
4. INSTALLING EQUIPMENT IN THE CABINET
