Cabinet physical design
This cabinet can house up to three 672-line systems of Nortel Networks
AccessNode equipment. The four supported configurations are described in
the following sections of this chapter. The cabinet features an enclosed
equipment compartment with separate compartments for the outside plant
cable termination and commercial power entrance. The AN2016 cabinet has a
split base assembly designed to house the batteries for the battery backup.
A mounting template aligns the cabinet openings and the mounting bolts to a
concrete pad. Pad mounting bolts secure the cabinet to the concrete pad and
are accessible by opening the SPC and AC compartments.
Note: The pad mounting template is a required separate kit which you
must order ahead of time for site preparation.

walls, and floor is primarily constructed of powder-coated 1/8-inch thick

deep and 71.25 in. (180.97 cm) high. Other parts, such as the equipment
