The Cannon 2-Pair Copper Termination Box measures externally 234mm high x 135mm wide x 69mm deep. It is bolted to a square section galvanised 3mm thick steel post which is barbed at its lower end to resist withdrawal from the ground. The box is inclined at an ergonomic 15° to the vertical, making internal cabling access easier. The post to which the box is fixed is 1200mm long. The lid is secured with a padlock (not supplied).
Two versions are available: C096800B and C096800C, which vary with respect to the cable entry gland hole provision and in the resultant pre-configuration of component mountings within the box.

The Apparatus Cabinet, also known as a Location Case is rated at IP55 and is available in two sizes: full width (1064mm - as shown here) and half width (628mm). The larger (full width) cabinet has a pair of full height lockable doors front and rear whereas the smaller (half width) version has a single full height lockable door front and rear. Locking is achieved by fitting a customer supplied padlock to the heavy duty lever has p/swing handle located centrally on the door.
The cabinet interior is ventilated by convection from the open base through slots positioned above the front and rear doors.
The base is normally closed on site by the use expanding foam in the cable ducts plus the addition of horticultural water absorbing beads which assist in the extraction and drainage of condensation from inside the cabinet. These beads are considerably lighter to carry than pea shingle, if it is necessary to man-handle over any distance, e.g. along railway tracks.
The bases of the cabinets are pre-configured to match Network Rail pre-cast concrete blocks Nos.: BRS-SC 31 & 32.


The Cannon Mark-2 Telephone Stump Box is of a traditional single-skinned proven design that continues to be a product of choice in a buoyant renewals market. This enclosure is normally used for terminating/connecting telecommunication cables fed to it through ducts in the concrete pad to which it is bolted.
It can be supplied fitted with a Krone A100 or A200 copper termination box, together with a galvanised steel support framework and associated cable management brackets, or it can be customised to accept other equipment.
The cabinet is of extremely rugged welded design, with the central body being made from powder coated 3mm thick galvanised steel. Standard locking for railway use utilises a Yale lock with a 221 key for deadlocking the cast stainless steel Cannon swing handle. Other deadlocks can be fitted to customer requirements.
The Cannon Fibre Optic Signal Cabinet is a single-skinned cabinet that was originally designed for back mounting on a railway overhead signal gantry. The rear mount brackets make it ideal also for wall mounting and the IP55 rating makes the enclosure ideal for terminating fibre optic or copper cables as well as providing a suitable environment for cable jointing.
A quick-release rugged stainless-steel door stay retains each door securely in the open position, whereas 2-point door locking rods are secured in the locked position by a heavy duty swing handle designed to accept a Network Rail padlock.
Removable lifting eyes are provided at each side of the cabinet to ensure safe handling of the cabinet into its final position.
