About This Guide Purpose This document provides a general installation practice for the Calix ODC-3000 outdoor cabinet. This document also provides a general description of the cabinet and its subsystems, and guidance for planning, site preparation, power installation, splicing to the outside plant, component installation and expansion, and cabinet maintenance.
Chapter 1 ODC-3000 Product Overview This chapter provides a general description of the Calix ODC-3000 outdoor cabinet, including its standard features and options. Topics Covered This chapter covers the following topics: A description of the ODC-3000 cabinet. A list of cabinet features.
108 RU of mounting space. The hinged racks swing outward up to 90 degrees, providing easy rear access to the mounted equipment. The ODC-3000 houses up to four Calix C7 shelves, serving up to 1920 copper access lines or up to 8192 PON subscribers (32x split).
(47 inches/27 RU per bay) and typically houses two Valere power systems and up to four Calix C7 shelves, leaving 5 RU per bay of rack space for additional equipment. The swing frame rack design allows for easy access to the backside of the mounted equipment.

ODC-3000 Rear Splice Compartments The ODC-3000 cabinet is equipped with two standard splice compartments: a fiber splice chamber (located on the right side of the cabinet when viewed from the front) and a copper splice chamber (located on the left side of the cabinet when viewed from the front). The fiber splice compartment is equipped with a standard 23-inch rack and houses the AC load center, main ground bar, and provides cable entry locations for fiber plant.
Installation Kit Calix supplies an installation kit with the cabinet that includes materials required for installation. The installation kit contents are listed below. Check to verify that your kit contains all of the listed items. Item Description Telco hex key, 5/16"...
Install the cabinet onto a concrete foundation pad. You can construct a concrete pad using the Calix cast-in-place template, or you can purchase a pre-cast concrete pad from a third-party supplier. For all mounting types, Calix requires installation of an earth ground circuit at the installation site to provide lightning protection.
Installing a Ground Circuit Calix requires installing an earth ground circuit (earth electrode) at the installation site to provide protection from electric shock for equipment and personnel. The ground circuit may consist of a simple copper rod driven into the earth or a complex system of buried rods and wires.
Construct the pad with a minimum height of 6 inches. Construct the pad with a maximum of 2 inches above-grade exposure. Use the Calix cast-in-place template to provide exact mounting stud and conduit locations. Use rebar or wire mesh inside the form to improve pad strength.
3. Place and tie rebar inside the form elevated above the gravel. 4. Place the Calix cast-in-place template into the form, guiding the cable conduits through the conduit entry ducts in the template.
Chapter 4 Installing the Cabinet This chapter describes how to install the Calix ODC-3000 cabinet onto a concrete foundation pad. Topics Covered This chapter covers the following topics: Unpacking the cabinet from its shipping crate. Operating the cabinet doors.
Use appropriately rated connecting links or lifting hooks. Calix recommends using at least three people to install the cabinet: one to operate the crane or derrick, one to guide the cabinet laterally as it lowers, and one to spot-check alignment of the mounting anchors/holes and the conduits/entry boxes as the cabinet lowers.
Jumper splicing: Splice OSP fibers directly to jumpers that connect to the optical equipment, bypassing any intermediate patch panels. Both splicing methods typically use a fiber splice tray to hold the individual splices. Calix offers splice tray options with fusion, heat shrink, and mechanical splicing options. Each splice tray can hold up to 12 fiber splices.
With the jumper splicing method, you typically route jumpers from the splice tray directly to the optical equipment. No intermediate patch panel is typically used. Route and terminate fibers per your application requirements and local practice. Calix offers optional fiber distribution systems, including a 24-position distribution panel or a distribution cassette holder with up to six 12-position cassettes.
Each Valere power shelf supports up to four rectifier modules (20A or 30A options). Normal operation for the ODC-3000 cabinet requires a minimum of two rectifier modules per Valere shelf (one module per supported C7 shelf). Use additional rectifier modules to support high- loaded systems, provide module redundancy, faster battery charging time, or powering for third-party equipment.
Installing Batteries The ODC-3000 cabinet can house up to six strings of front terminal batteries (four batteries per string). See Supported Batteries (on page 121) for a list of supported battery types. WARNING! Electrical hazard. Batteries contain a stored charge. Only a qualified technician should perform this procedure.
Installing a C7 Fan Tray Each Calix C7 shelf requires a fan tray mounted underneath it for shelf cooling. Fan trays do not ship installed. Install the fan tray(s) as described below. The front panel of the C7 fan tray shows the results of a power test at start-up.
Installing a Battery Heater For colder climates, Calix recommends using an optional battery heater to prevent batteries from freezing and to prolong battery life. The cabinet supports up to three battery heaters, with each heater supporting two battery strings (front to back). The battery heater is controlled by a thermostat set for the following operation: ...
The cabinet supports third-party xDSL splitters to separate POTS and DSL signals from subscriber lines within the enclosure. Splitter shelves employ passive filters that require no power to operate. Calix provides two ADSL splitter shelf options that use a common 24-port splitter card: ...
Installing a PON Splitter Kit To support passive fiber splitting within the enclosure, the ODC-3000 can house up to twelve 96-line (3 x 1:32) PON splitter kits, arranged as shown. ODC-3000 Rear For installation instructions, see the Calix ODC PON Splitter Kit Installation Guide.
Note any damage to the metal work. If the damaged area interferes with operation of the cabinet or electronics, contact Calix support for assistance with a resolution. Repair damage to the paint using touch-up paint available from Calix after cleaning the surface and removing rust.
Valere shelf. Note: If the Valere shelf is not equipped with a redundant rectifier module, and the load is heavy, Calix recommends temporarily installing an additional module into the shelf to carry the load while you replace the failed module.
If a battery or string of batteries fails, becomes damaged, or wears out its life, you can replace the battery or string as described below. Replacing batteries does not impact cabinet service, provided that an AC power failure does not occur during the replacement process. Calix recommends connecting an external generator to the cabinet while performing battery maintenance to ensure service continuity in the event of an AC outage.
Supported Batteries The ODC-3000 supports the following batteries. For a list of battery distributors, contact your sales representative. Manufacturer Model Capacity (Ah) Max # of per String Strings Northstar NSB 170FT 170 Ah Fiamm 12FAT 155 155 Ah GNB Marathon...

The maximum power values shown include a per-C7 minimum power load of 330 W, consisting of two RAP-OCn (2 x 65W), one AMP (10W), one fan tray (70W), and one heat exchanger (120 W). Calix recommends using an N+1 rectifier module scheme for redundancy. The quantity shown represents N only, with no redundant module.
