Abstract: The service cabinet is for use around a utility pole for receiving electrical or communication equipment. The service cabinet comprises a frame having at least two complementary parts connectable together and to the bottom section of the utility pole. The frame generally defines a vertically-extending internal passage for enclosing the bottom section of the utility pole. A side wall is connected to the frame, providing at least one internal chamber. The service cabinet can be used around an existing utility pole as a retrofit cabinet, or be used around a newly installed utility pole. It does not create a new obstacle when used in an urban area and can have a low manufacturing cost since it uses the utility pole as a substrate.
