Charles Multi-Purpose Housings (CMPH) are versatile OSP closures designed for both new provisioning installations as well as rehabilitation of existing access points housed in metallic enclosures. The CMPH's superior structural strength, outstanding environmental protection and ease of installation combine to create a long-life housing that reduces operational expenses.
The CMPH assembly features a lift-off dome and corrugated channel base. The lift-off dome allows 360º access to internal working areas with access via recessed hex head lock(s) using a 216 Tool or Can Wrench. The dome provides "bell jar" flood protection, eliminates intrusion of wind-blown rain and dust, and prevents unauthorized entry. The base provides ample room for entry of multiple large cables, including conduit. A spacious bottom entry allows technicians to easily slide the base over existing large cable rehabilitation applications.
CMPH enclosures are available with multiple internal bracket configurations for copper, fiber, and copper/fiber installations, as well as empty (no bracket) and custom bracket configurations for unique deployment situations. Ground and bonding hardware is included.
Product Features
Flexibility
Available with multiple internal bracket configurations for copper, fiber, and copper/fiber installations, as well as empty (no bracket) and custom bracket configurations
Economic
Low total cost of ownership
Installation Mounting
A corrugated channel base design provides secure footing in all in-plant installations, allows installation with or without the use of mounting stakes, and prevents frost heave
In rehabilitation installations, existing stakes can be utilized for placement, eliminating the potentially hazardous operation of re-driving stakes into unknown buried copper and fiber feeds
Technician Friendly Features
The lift-off dome provides full 360° access to internal splicing area
Material Specification
Structurally rugged, non-metallic outer housing construction offers dent resistance, corrosion protection, electric shock safety and positive alignment in opening and closing
Environmental
The one-piece dome locks securely onto the base with side self-latches and bolt locks, creating a "bell-jar" effect that protects internal components in flood-prone areas
