FBA Presents – Specifying High-Performance Enclosures for Communications Networks
November 18 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join Oldcastle Infrastructure for a practical session designed for engineers, construction managers, and network planners focused on specifying enclosures for today’s dynamic communications infrastructure—both above and below ground. As digital demand grows, enclosure performance, durability, and sustainability are critical for ensuring long-term network reliability.
Explore key industry standards, tier ratings, and environmental considerations that influence material and design choices. Learn how to address unique challenges in underground and indoor environments, including tier performance, thermal management, and maintenance access, with applications such as:
- Grade-level access points for outside plant infrastructure
- Subscriber demarcation points with plastic NID enclosures
- Interior wall-mount media panels for structured premises wiring
Attendees will learn how to:
- Evaluate and select enclosure materials based on project-specific performance, regulatory, and environmental requirements
- Apply tier ratings and enclosure classifications to meet structural and operational needs
- Assess the tradeoffs between traditional and modern materials in terms of lifecycle cost and environmental impact
- Improve installation efficiency and network reliability through smarter enclosure design and specification
Whether you’re engineering fiber rollouts, broadband expansions, or hybrid systems, this session offers actionable insight into building resilient, future-ready communications networks from the ground up.
