Function :

The BMX outside distribution box is used for connection of the subscribers' cables to a multi-pair cable. The connection is made by means of breaking (MXC) or protection (MXP) modules. Partial distribution of the multi-pair cable can be achieved by tapping off.

The box is secured in the front by screws or on a pole with metal strip (not supplied). It is delivered with an earth rod.

Description :

The BMX outside distribution box BMX for MXC - MXP is composed of a body, a lid and connection modules.

• The body includes horizontal rails, module supports in the central part, and cable entries in the bottom part. A clamping arrangement provides for the retention of the multi-pair cables, and wire guides in a chicane arrangement are used to hold the subscribers' cables. An elastomer cable grommet with break-out inputs, takes care of waterproofing.
• The lid is hinged and can be held in the open position.
• The connection module
  This clips onto the rail. Connection by a double shelfstrip arrangement is rendered reliable by means of a grease which takes care of waterproofing of the connections between a pair of the multi-pair cable and a subscriber cable of the "drop cable" type.

  The MXP module is equipped with a three-pole voltage surge arrester. Test can be carried out either on the line side or the subscriber side.
