Over the years cabinets tend to get crammed with many additional network components as technology evolves for the delivery of new services. But extra equipment can often push a cabinet beyond its thermal limits, raising the internal temperature and reducing the reliability and working lifespan of the equipment inside. Not to mention the many expensive truck rolls to fix issues with equipment that is working outside or at the edge of its specified operational limits.
Cabinet parts also break or wear down; power systems become overloaded, and sometimes upgrade or replacement parts are no longer available from the original vendor. Yet a full system upgrade or cabinet replacement may not be necessary or even warranted at a given location.
What’s the solution?
Choose one of TXCO’s many off-the-shelf upgrade solutions for existing outside plant cabinets. And if you need something that does not yet exist, they can custom tailor a solution for your specific needs.
Their upgrade solutions for existing cabinets include:
- Cabinet specific fan trays for additional air flow and cooling
