OPTICAL NETWORK UNIT (ONU) MECHANICAL ENCLOSURE

摘要

A mechanical enclosure (100) for an optical network unit (ONU) includes a frame (101) having a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening. A partition divides the frame into a first compartment (102) which houses the electronics and optics of the ONU, and a second compartment (103) which houses drop terminal blocks and coaxial cable ports of the ONU. Each compartment has a dedicated door to provide access to the associated compartment. Watertight seals are provided for each element which passes through the partition, thereby providing electronics/optics compartment (102) with a watertight environment. Drop cables leave the ONU enclosure through grommets which are held in the second compartment (103) of the frame. A hook assembly further enables the enclosure to be held in different positions to improve access to the compartments of the enclosure.
