Outside Plant for
Business-Critical Continuity™
NetReach™ DSLAM XC Series
Integrated DSLAM and Cross Connect Solution
Features & Benefits
DSLAM and cross connect (XC)
chambers are housed in
a single cabinet–reduces
deployment costs and simplifies
transition to digital services
Free-breathing, chamber
for DSLAM units–provides
necessary air flow, protects
units from vandalism, allows
craft separation
Weather-tight cabinet for XC
fields–door gaskets restrict
moisture and airborne particles;
accommodates Emerson RLS or
URLS connection blocks
Same terminal block style for
both POTS and DSL–flexibility
to assign available pairs to
either service
Line or AC power feed configurations– utilize the available
local sources to power the
DSLAM units or feed remotely
Pole or pad-mount options–
reduce site restrictions and
accommodate varying amounts
of contained equipment
Emerson RLS or URLS terminal
blocks–moisture resistant IDC
termination provides years of
trouble-free field service
Drop-down, removable cross
connect terminal fields–simplify
cable feeding and splicing

The migration of sensitive electronic equipment into the
Outside Plant (OSP) environment has led to weather-hardened
electronic components such as Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexers (DSLAMs). However, a weather-hardened
DSLAM is still vulnerable to physical damage and vandalism.
Also, it still must be located near a cross-connect to transfer
digital service onto the customer’s voice line.
In response to this new technology, Emerson has developed the NetReach™
DSLAM XC series of enclosures. These enclosures integrate a protective, ventilated
compartment for weather-hardened DSLAM electronics with a weather-sealed
compartment for cross connect (XC) fields in a single enclosure. NetReach™
DSLAM XC cabinets simplify and reduce the cost of broadband deployment.
Utilizing Emerson’s RLS and URLS insulation displacement connection (IDC)
terminal blocks, the enclosures offer a proven track record for fast, dependable
connections and years of service in the field.
Description
NetReach™ DSLAM XC series cabinets are available in two configurations: a
top-and-bottom arrangement for pole mounting and a back-to-back configuration for pad mounting. Both configurations feature a free-breathing chamber for
weather-hardened DSLAM electronics, and a separate sealed chamber for cross
connect fields. Configurations to support AC-powered or line-powered DLSAMs
are offered. Total cross connect pair capacities of the pole-mount units range
from 400 to 800 pairs. Pad-mount pair capacities range from 400 to 1800 pairs.
Initially NetReach™ DSLAM XC cabinets may be deployed to pass through
voice phone service (POTS) to customers. Then, as customers subscribe to
enhanced services, the service provider can change the arrangement of the
cross connect jumpers to route the output of the DSLAM to those customers
desiring enhanced services.
Application
The NetReach™ DSLAM XC enclosure is a serving area interface (SAI), generally
deployed between the central office (CO) and customer distribution pedestals.
Some units may be deployed in conjunction with remote terminal (RT) cabinets,
thus locating them between the RT and the distribution pedestal. In general,
hardened DSLAM units are configured with limited pair counts, making them
best suited for deployment in rural or other areas with lower customer density.
Protection against destructive weather, thermal, electrical,
environmental and mechanical forces is vital to assuring
the reliability and revenue-producing capability of your
wireless and wireline networks
NetReach™ DSLAM XC cabinets simplify and reduce the
cost of broadband deployment.

Dual-Function Cabinet
Both pole-mount and pad-mount versions of the NetReach™ DSLAM XC Series
enclosures combine two functions (DSLAM and cross connect) in a single cabinet.
In the pole mount configuration, the DSLAM equipment is contained in a separate
chamber above the XC. The cross connect fields are contained in a separate chamber
at the bottom of the cabinet.
In the pad-mount configuration, the chambers are back-to-back, with the cross
connect chamber on the front side (to facilitate jumper wiring) and the DSLAM
chamber on the back side.
Cabinets are manufactured from mill-galvanized steel and protected with an
off-white paint.
Cross Connect Chamber
The cross connect chamber in both pad and pole mount
versions is a sealed chamber with a gasketed, lockable,
weather-resistant door. Terminal block fields are
chain-supported, drop-down and removable to
simplify cabling and splicing. XC chambers are
designed to comply with Telcordia GR-3115-CORE.
DSLAM Chamber
DSLAM chambers are configured to accept environmentally hardened DSLAM units. In the pole-mount
configuration, the DSLAM equipment in the top
chamber is contained behind a bolted access panel.
In the pad-mount configuration, the DSLAM chamber
is accessed through double pad-lockable doors.
Depending on the make and model, the pole
mounted cabinet will accept up to two DSLAMs, and
the pad mount cabinet accepts up to three DSLAMs.*
*Dependent on make and model

Flexible Enclosure Design Offers Multiple Configurations
Thermal
Heat dissipation from the DSLAM units and solar loading is accomplished with a
passive ventilation path, rated to dissipate up to 82 watts maximum at 46°C ambient as
specified in Telcordia GR-487. Air enters and exits through ventilation in the chamber
panels or doors that maximize heat dissipation.
Terminal Blocks
NetReach™ DSLAM XC enclosures feature Emerson RLS or URLS terminal
blocks as standard equipment. They are self-strip, IDC (Insulation Displacement
Connection) blocks. Blocks are hard-wired to a harness behind the block face.
Because the same style XC blocks are used for all pairs, the service provider may
divide them up between POTS and digital service in any combination and label them
accordingly. Depending upon the cabinet style (pole or pad-mount) and the style of
block chosen, a maximum pair capacity of 1800 pairs is available.
10 Pair URLS Block
50 Pair RLS Block
Line vs AC Powering
DSLAM equipment may be line powered or AC powered. AC powered enclosures
include an AC load center with surge arrestor, one 15A circuit breaker and four AC
receptacles for equipment in the DSLAM chamber. The load center is accessible
through an access panel on the exterior of the cabinet.
Craft Separation
Craft separation is accomplished with individual chambers for electronics and cross
connect fields. DSLAM equipment in the pole-mount configuration is contained
behind a bolted access panel. DSLAM chambers in pad-mounted configurations are
secured by industry-standard B-216 latches and are pad-lockable. All doors to XC
chambers on both configurations are secured by industry-standard B-216 latches
and are pad-lockable.
Pole or Pad Mounting
Pole-mount enclosures are provided with pole-mount kits that include top and
bottom brackets to attach the cabinet to the pole. Pad-mount enclosures may be
mounted on an optional pour in place template.
Options and Accessories
Available options and accessories include pair testers, service caps, block numbers
and cable entry kits.
