Channell’s complete range of GLB™ – Grade Level Boxes – are available in a variety of size, types and compositions for your sub-surface outside plant applications.

Channell provides High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) grade level boxes and lids in a variety of depths and sizes for greenbelt applications. These boxes are designed to meet the specific fiber, coax and copper needs of the broadband, telecommunications and utilities industries. They can be used in areas of pedestrian traffic in conjunction with various Channell products in below grade applications.

Channell Shutterbox Grade Level Box (SGLB)

Additionally, Channell offers designs inspired by the below-ground shutter boxes used for utilities throughout Europe, Channell’s “Shutter Box” Series SGLB boxes provide the highest-performance standards in the industry for thermoplastic subsurface enclosures.

One of the major features of the boxes is the straight sidewall “I-Beam” construction that, together with the high rib design, greatly increases the cover load bearing capacity and sidewall strength. Unlike standard thermoplastic tapered boxes, the “Shutter Box” straight sidewall design allows the cover load to be supported by the complete sidewall, rather than an unsupported “tapered neck.” This feature permits the “Shutter Box” Series boxes to be used for a multitude of greenbelt and sidewalk applications. With the additional option of a polymer concrete cover and ring, the boxes exhibit a static vertical load bearing capacity up to 20,000 pounds, making them suitable for sidewalk and driveway applications.

A full range of unique options (patents pending) support this product, including a two-position swing-arm bracket, the universal L-Bolt™ locking feature and a Split Cover option with enclosure plug. Three sets of factory-installed threaded studs permit installation of optional hot-dipped galvanized racks, sidewall mounting brackets, and a thermoplastic swing arm assembly equipment mounting plate to accomodate a Bracket Mounted Terminal (BMT®) or fiber tap in the field.

Meets and is qualified to Telcordia GR-902-CORE specifications. Complies with the applicable elements of Western Underground Committee, ANSI / SCTE 77 2002.

Signature Pedestal Housing

The new low profile SPH1836 5 Series pedestal enclosure features Channell’s exclusive “attic system” HDC™ cover that provides superior heat dissipation performance exceeding any comparable sized enclosure currently available. The new enclosure is designed to house optical nodes and fiber splices. Optical receivers have been known to go into an “alarm mode” at ambient temperatures of 80ºF and above and require optimum heat dissipation to improve their reliability and service life. The SPH1836 5 Series enclosure is also ideal for housing any network electronics that might be susceptible to high heat failure modes.

The smaller, cost effective SPH1836 5 Series pedestal enclosure was designed to complement Channell’s successful deployment of its SPH2436 5 Series enclosure that has been proven effective in providing heat dissipation performance for optical nodes. As with other Signature Pedestal Housing (SPH) Series enclosures, the SPH1836 5 Series features a wide array of mounting options that permit proper mounting of equipment. To prevent corrosion and deterioration, metal bracketry is protected with Channell’s exclusive Thermoplastic Laminated Coating (TLC®). The Self-Lock® self-locking cover security system is available with a wide range of lock head configurations.
