Expanded-capacity, environmentally protected OSP closures
designed to house copper, fiber and CATV equipment

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.

A two-piece assembly features a lift-off dome and corrugated channel base. The lift-off dome allows 360º access to internal working areas and includes self-latching locks with secondary bolt locks on both left and right side panels. 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 4500, 5500 and 7500 Series closures are each available with a choice of copper or fiber optic configurations. Ground and bonding hardware is included. CMPH 9500 Series closures do not include any internal hardware and are designed for housing larger electronics, sealed fiber enclosures and cable slack storage.

Features

• Structurally rugged, non-metallic outer housing construction offers dent resistance, corrosion protection, electric shock safety and positive alignment in opening and closing
• 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
• 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
• The lift-off dome provides full 360° access to internal splicing area
