SPEC SHEET
Radiator
®
II
Below Ground HDSLx 8-Slot Repeater Housing
ADC’s latest addition to its family of outside
plant products, the Radiator
®
II Below Ground
HDSLx Repeater Housing, is a highly cost-
effective outside plant enclosure for local
loop electronics. With its advanced thermal
management capabilities, the Radiator II
extends the life of enclosed cards or repeaters
and reduces costly truck rolls and maintenance.
Radial placement of card slots permits efficient
and predictable thermal transfer for uniform
cooling. In addition, its unique design allows
the heat to radiate externally, increasing the
reliability of the enclosed electronics.
Designed for manhole applications, the
Radiator II below ground housing can be
mounted horizontally which requires 50
percent less space, doubling the number of
housings and quadrupling circuit density. When
mounted vertically, the integrated tilt bracket
greatly reduces the amount of clearance
required. When deployed, the enclosure
provides mounting for up to 8 single wide or
2 double wide 239-style HDSL, HDSL4, T1,
ISDN, or DDS repeaters. Up to 6 double wide
239-style repeaters may be accommodated
with an optional upgrade kit (catalog number
(RAD-DWKIT).
