The Rhi-Node Compact 600 / RNC-600 manhole (MHL-024) is deployed in buried telecommunications and other utility infrastructure complementary to blown fibre cable applications. It is modular to achieve flat-stack packaging. The manhole chamber is cylindrical to maximise strength and internal space utilisation. It features a split entry design, to accommodate drop-in installation over existing ducts of various diameters. All its components are manufactured in a quality assured factory, certified to ISO 9001.
The chamber incorporates 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, allowing for additional cables to be added during the lifespan of the chamber.
An electronic locking solution and an IoT environmental sensor are available optionally, to remotely manage access to the manhole and to monitor the environment inside it and receive alarms when pre-determined levels of vibration/impact and light are exceeded.
