Abstract: An outdoor pedestal enclosure for housing telecommunications equipment is provided. The outdoor pedestal enclosure includes a base section and a cover engageable with the base section so as to define an interior space. The base section and cover are made of a multilayered plastic material including an outer layer and an inner layer.

Abstract: A pedestal enclosure for electronic components is provided. The pedestal enclosure includes a base section and a cover engageable with the base section so as to define an interior space. The bracket system has at least two side rails. The pedestal enclosure further includes a mounting arrangement for releasably mounting a bracket system to the base section. The mounting arrangement includes a channel section at a lower end of each of the side rails of the bracket system and a mounting part supported on the base section. Each of the mounting parts is configured and arranged to be received in and engage a respective one of the channel sections. The mounting arrangement includes a manually releasable locking mechanism.

Abstract: An improved cover is provided for a remote terminal base, the new cover defining an interior cavity having means for mounting a 400-series card electronic card-module therein. The improved cover may replace a standard flat cover on the remote terminal base to facilitate the implementation of a 400-series card module. The interior cavity of the improved cover is deep enough to accommodate the card module and has a hinged intermediate door to which the card module is mounted. When the door is opened, card guides on the door slidably receive the card module. The door is then closable to sealably encase the card module within the cover.

Abstract: A switchable load coil case is provided having a switch assembly connected to the load coil and incoming and outgoing wire pair. The switch assembly has a switch actuator disposed in a terminal housing cavity movable between loaded and bypass positions. The switch assembly has contacts which connect the load coil in series with the incoming and outgoing wire pair when the switch actuator is in the loaded position and connect the incoming and outgoing wire pair while bypassing the load coil when the switch actuator is in the bypass position.

Abstract: Card cages for mounting an array of electronic modules are provided for. The card cage comprises a plurality of generally rectangular shaped panels, including a top panel, a bottom panel, a back panel, and two side panels. The panels are adapted for assembly into a generally right-rectangular prism shaped frame having a closed back and an open front and defining one or more module mounting areas. The card cage also comprises guides adapted to slidably receive one or more electronic modules having electrical connectors. The guides are provided on at least one panel defining each mounting area. The back panel has electrical connectors adapted to engage the electrical connectors of the electronic modules. The top, bottom, and side panels are interlockable. Those interlockable panels are fabricated from a single sheet of metal and have a plurality of integral interlocking members. The interlocking members collectively constitute a plurality of associated pairs of tongues and openings.
