Series 3 pedestal housing is designed and developed for Charles’ most popular 8” and 10” Fiber Pedestals. These pedestals are available with BDO and CFDP backboards. The pedestal housings provide the necessary environmental protection with a similar size and profile as our current pedestals. Series 3 offers the same access and interface for technicians familiar with Charles Pedestals.
Series 3 pedestals are developed as a response to unprecedented industry demand. These pedestals offer the same interface to access, construct, and deliver service as our current popular existing pedestals. In addition, Series 3 pedestals are built of the same thermoplastic resin as our broadly utilized CMPH and Broadband Pedestals with over 20 years of field-proven performance.
