Abstract: The pedestal is particularly suitable for housing cable television signal distribution outdoor equipment. It has a self-supporting base having a truncated pyramidal shape and a horizontal lower flange, which can be installed firmly and securely on the ground easily and quickly without the use of additional anchoring devices. The divergent base also provides inherent additional space for storing extra cable for future re-coring and changing equipment, and a plurality of the base units as well as a plurality of top cover units may be stacked together for maximum utilization of the shipping and storage space.
