Amphenol Charles Industries Announces a New Z01 Series Low Profile Broadband Pedestal Housing
Schaumburg, IL (Feb 20, 2024) – Amphenol Charles Industries announces the availability of its Z01 series pedestals. These new pedestals have a low-profile dome of only 15” with an approximately 9”x9” visible profile. These are one of the least obtrusive pedestals in the market. Their small size aids in obtaining local usage approvals as well as providing a lower installation cost. The Z01 are an ideal solution for FTTH network where only a small number of drops are needed.

Z08 Series Active Device Low Profile Pedestals
The next generation of DOCSIS amplifier and other active devices are placing increasing thermal and space demands on the outside plant. Amphenol Charles Industries (ACI) has engineered a next generation amplifier pedestal that has been thermally optimized and can passively dissipate over 100W in a small 30” x 20” footprint. With constraints from municipalities and homeowners on the size and obtrusiveness of installed pedestals, the new Z08 can help providers expediate new deployments.
