The Rhi-Node 400 chamber (MHL-012) is deployed in underground telecommunications and other utility infrastructure; often complementary to blown fibre cable applications. It is modular to achieve flat-stack packaging. The chamber is circular at its top and square at its bottom to maximise strength and internal space utilisation. All its components are manufactured in a quality assured factory, certified to ISO 9001.
The lid and frame of the chamber incorporate a mechanical locking mechanism and is available with a feature enabling unique identification and automated GPS positioning of its location. Fibre cable and slack are stored orderly, above the ducts to ensure that the duct entries remain unobstructed, allowing for additional cables to be added during the lifespan of the chamber.
