Outdoor use

For the application of copper cabling in the OutSide Plant sector (OSP) R&M offers a wide range of solutions to protect installed components against adverse environmental condi-tions. The modular concept even allows hybrid solutions for copper and fiber optic media.

Copper connection technology with added protection
The 10 DA connection module VS Compact SLIM allows you to double the packing density of your distributor system. It also gives you the option of flexible protection. You can decide on site whether you need to strengthen the protection against environmental influences. The modules can be sealed in a few quick steps. R&M provides a kit with a long-lasting soft polymer gel for this purpose.
For dropwire applications we offer a weather–resistant 1DA module for installation onto DIN 35 mounting rails. It is based on IDC technology and wired without the use of any tools.

Cross-connection cabinets
CCCs provide the outer casing for R&M components. Their housing is made of fiber-glass reinforced polycarbonate manufactured under the structural foam molding process. It guarantees outstanding mechanical strength for a low weight. The mounting frame is made of stainless steel. A solid door lock and high-quality locking systems protect the sensitive components against unauthorized access. 

Splice closures
The sturdy and compact design of the R&M splice closure system withstands extreme environmental influences. It effortlessly withstands temperatures ranging between -20 °C and +60 °C or water depths of up to 6 meters (IP68). Through the use of high-quality polyethylene the closure system is particularly resistant to alkaline earths, salt water, and fungal and putrid bacteria. It also provides the right inputs for each application. Choose from flexible, hard-wire and dropwire inputs. Other plus points include quick, tool-free mounting and a closure system with long-term stability and reusable seals.

Small distributors
The Venus Box was developed to withstand the toughest climatic conditions such as rain, splash water (IP54), heat and strong UV radiation. Thanks to its modular design, it can be fitted with VS Compact or dropwire modules. What’s more, the Venus Box is suitable for hybrid applications.
