Most of our cabinets sit back from the curb 10-20 feet. There is usually a large hand hold next to the curb, or even part of the cabinet pad that we pour.
Then we just plumb several pipes through the pad to the hand hole for access (before the pour). The cabinets are cooled with re-circulating AC units that draw about 450W of power. My power budget is usually pretty tight at 15 amps due to the location of most of these cabinets. So I have to make sure I calculate appropriate watt usage and not go over budget with everything. I also have to calculate btu/heat output to make sure I don’t exceed my A/C capacity to cool.

So I think we ordered with 100’ lengths and spliced it in the truck in a large case splice that sits in a handhold about 10 feet away from the rack on the curb. The crew liked this way better than splicing on the rack itself.

Looks good, how are you transitioning from the OSP cable to the TE rackmount unit?

This time I used a super dense 4U LC fiber panel that can connect up to 576. I've got about 370 of it loaded with fiber, about a third of that will be connected here. It requires the thinner mil cable which is the only PITA about this setup really. It's using 24 port 1U fiber switches, but I'm still looking for a good Planet rep to get the 48 port 1U density. I could upgrade to those and fill out the entire 12U switch space to match the 576 panel capacity. Not going to have 100 percent take rate I'm sure, but it's nice to know I can get the density in one cabinet.
