GESTIONVAL ODNODN INFRASTRUCTURE Technical Inquiry

Method for removing the cover of the distribution box

ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 09 Aug 2022

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

Remove the packing material from the panel outer corrugated carton/wood by removing top of cover first and then four sides. Due care should be taken so that the packing case opening tools do not hit any of the instruments provided on the front of the panel. In any unlikely event of damage/loss, lodge insurance claim.
