Structured Wiring Success Begins with Enclosure

August 26th, 2005

When designing and installing a structured wiring system in a residence, quality and functionality all begins with the initial enclosure that is selected and installed.

The primary driver that ran through the minds at Suttle when designing it’s new SOHO Access™ structured wiring enclosure was “How can we make this better?” This thought process, along with improvement requests from installers and integrators has led to the creation of the most innovative and functional structured wiring enclosure on the market.

Suttle is a strong advocate of the Telecommunications Industry Association’s Residential Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard (TIA-570-B) and has ensured that its new SOHO Access™ Enclosure will incorporate all current requirements. To provide a solution for multiple cabling requirements and to meet the TIA-570-B standards on Distribution Device cabinet sizes, the new SOHO Access Enclosures are being introduced in 4 new sizes. For MDU applications and Grade 1 homes with a lower service drop count, Suttle is introducing a 14” enclosure. Suttle has also designed larger enclosures, 21” & 28”, to meet the requirements for higher drop count Grade1 and Grade 2 homes. A 42” enclosure has also been developed for very large applications including some industrial uses.

Jay Kilby, Suttle Product Manager, led the effort to define the product requirements. “Although we could have met the standard with our 28” box in the Grade 2 range, our installer partners told us that they run into a number of applications where the 28” is too big and the 14” is too small. Based on this feedback we decided to add the 21” enclosure to better service our customers and round out the offering.”
