The Charles Multi-Purpose Housing (CMPH) Cross-Connect enclosure is a center-fed cross-connect interface system scalable in 300 pair increments up to 1200 pairs total. It is housed in a CMPH enclosure designed to provide flood-proof environmental protection and superior access to internal working areas. The CMPH Cross-Connect features high-density Tyco® Dat@Term terminal blocks designed for high-speed data housed in a single, above-grade enclosure. The enclosure’s compact design and easy installation make it a cost-effective solution for virtually any outside plant application, especially in floodplains. Its two-piece construction is ideal for rehabilitation of metal cross-connect cabinets with minimal disturbance of the existing cable bundle.
