RE: OT: Below grade fiber interconnect points

["Sam Roche" <sroche () lakelandnetworks com>]

Here is a link to a Raycom Fosc that has pigtails and bulkheads in it that I'm guessing would suit your needs. We use 
them underground in vaults a various points where a pedestal doesn't make sense. You need to make sure there is proper 
drainage in the vault though....

Without knowing more about the physical facility, it's hard to know for sure what you need.

Another option is an above ground  cabinet.  Many telecoms use them.
