The box yes. The molds that make the box no. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2017 12:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] The better fiber NID box
Rather than hijack Paul McCall's thread, this is my version of the same quest. http://www.fiberinstrumentsales.com/fis-nid-termination-box-lc-or-sc-accepts-8-fibers-for-dx-lc.html I like the above FIS brand NID box. I like that it has built in slack storage and flip out splice tray. I like the option of using snap-in mating sleeves. I like that the door comes off by lifting upwards...then I can use both elbows while I'm in the box. I like that the entry points are standard conduit knockout sizes. I like that it has a retaining clamp for a drop cable. I like that it's weather proof. What would make me happier: (1) Forget the lock. Close it with a captive thumb screw. (2) A padlock hasp so I *could* lock it. (3) Make it larger. I'd want space for a small switch or ONT, and I'd want to be able to drill out the knockouts one size larger (you can't now due to depth). (4) The mounting screw holes in the corners require a long driver bit, they're just barely too small for my long bit holder. ....another 1/16" would have saved me a trip to the hardware store. (5) Cheap. Someone else would want room for an AC outlet and a UPS, but not me. Does my perfect box already exist? Could McCown build my perfect box for less than $20,000?
