1.0 Engineering and Cabinet Selection

The 4220 and 4230 Series of "RH" and "XP" Cabinets are used for the rehabilitation or expansion of existing
AT&T, Lucent or HUB cross connect cabinets. The new cabinets include brackets for the mounting of the
existing 76 terminal block frames and can be ordered to include new frames to add pair count to the cabinet
using the 3M

 4320 Self-Strip System.

1.1

Engineering

a.

To properly engineer a project using these cabinets, a "Pre-survey Trip" to the project site must be
made and four main questions have to be answered.

1) What specific size and type of old cabinet is on the project?

2) Are there any site "right-of-way" limitations?

(a)   Does the new cabinet have to be single sided?

       (1)   -is there a fence or wall obstructions?

       (2)   -is there any community code height restrictions?

(b)   Can the new cabinet be double sided?

3) Can the existing mounting pad be used?

(a)   Is the pad level and not deteriorated?

(b)   Where are the existing cable ducts?

(c)   Are there spare ducts or room for new ducts for expansion?

(d)   What are the dimensions of the pad?

(e)   Can the pad be enlarged?

(f)   If the existing mounting pad cannot be used, is a new "split" factory built pad or
       a new "pour in place" concrete pad right for this project?

4) If this is an expansion, how many pairs are desired to be added, now or in the future?

(a)   Are the number of pairs limited by the site or cabinet configuration?

(b)   Should pairs be added to just the rear of a new double sided cabinet?
