Looking for an outdoor termination point and can't seem to find.The style I'm looking for is sticks out the ground app 3ft,maybe 4x4 with a plastic cover.Inside is screw style terminations.Will be using icky pic.

I have seen these in residential areas,golf courses.They are usually gray in color.

Any help?

Thanks
 
What I'm looking for kinda looks like a 4x4 sticking up out of the ground with a weather proof cover over it
 
You may want to check with Graybar or Anixter as they both carry a lot of OSP items.
Good Luck,

Also a General Class Amatuer Radio Operator.
 
That is a carrier class item. As stated above any electrical/datacomm supplier (Graybar, Anixter, etc) should be able to hook you up. Thay are not typically listed in their datacomm catalogs, so you will probably have to call.
 
We usually get 'em from Anixter. It's been a while, but I'll see if I can get you a part number.
 
The reason you are having trouble is that these pedestals are not used (at least normally) for terminations, but are used for splices.

I just google telephone pedestal splice and the first hit looks like what you are looking for though it is a round style.

If you ask a better question you will get a better reply. Be specific so we can help!
 
I'm curious....how will the cable be run up to this demarc point ?

We have some flooded outdoor grade telco wire in our stash.
Just curious....as I would prefer or expect a wall mounted demarc..
