As advanced voice, cideo and data fiber based services are deployed deeper into the broadband network, the need for reliable attractive modular transition nodes has increased. The Radium MiniBay is a scalable environmentally controlled enclosure system designed for demanding outside plant applications.
The MiniBay supports bulk power to CATV hub and secondary hub requirements. It is ideal for remote optical transition applications that provide optical amplification, optical demultiplexing, narrowcast combining and return path aggregation services to remote communities.
Recently, a MiniBay system was utilized to replace a remote hub on a small piece of property. By relocating all of the equipment from the building into the MiniBay, the property became more attractive for prospective buyers and reduced maintenance and capital costs. A further advantage is it can be easily located on a public easement.
The MiniBay integrates a comprehensive line of power solutions for today's complex Hub and ONT powering requirements. This includes the Cordex and RSM series of 48Vdc rectifiers. The battery storage moduleis isolated from the equipment section and can hold up to four 155Ah batteries. For extended runtime, the MiniBay is compatible with the AlphaGen™ series of telephony grade DC generators.
The Radium MiniBay is rated for NEMA 3R and NEMA 4X applications and is fully scalable to 4000W and 1240Ah of battery capacity. The enclosure is designed with front and rear accessible 19 or 23" equipment racks with a total of 46 rack units available for customer installed communication gear. Other attributes include a N+1 redundancy DC UPS system, modular enclosure system, side chamber for fiber management and copper cross connection and protection options.
To ensure proper thermal management, the enclosure can be installed with a fan, filter and/or air conditioner. Additional options include integrated AC service entrance, TVSS, AC distribution, standby generator interface, lighting and heat exchangers.
