Description
One Pedestal. Two Networks. Built for the Outside Plant.
The TC-PED 2310 Dual-Bay Pedestal is a rugged, space-efficient combination enclosure engineered to support both CATV and telephone/fiber infrastructure in a single outdoor housing. Designed for today’s evolving outside plant (OSP) environments, this dual-compartment pedestal enables clean network separation while maximizing deployment efficiency and reducing field footprint. This outside plant pedestal solution is ideal for network operators seeking to consolidate CATV and fiber optic infrastructure without compromising access or serviceability.
Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel with a durable powder-coat finish, the TC-PED 2310 outside plant pedestal delivers long-term protection against UV exposure, corrosion, and harsh environmental conditions. Independent CATV and telecom compartments allow technicians to safely access and service equipment from any angle, making it ideal for HFC networks, hybrid fiber-coax builds, legacy copper transitions, and fiber expansion projects. As a versatile dual-bay pedestal, the TC-PED 2310 accommodates both legacy copper and modern fiber optic installations in a single, compact footprint.
Whether deployed in residential neighborhoods, MDU corridors, or rural broadband builds, this fiber optic pedestal provides a cost-effective, secure, and installer-friendly alternative to traditional single-use pedestals without sacrificing durability or performance. Network installers trust this OSP pedestal for reliable performance in demanding outdoor environments where both CATV and telecom services must coexist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dual-bay pedestal?
A dual-bay pedestal is an outside plant enclosure with two separate compartments designed to house different network types in a single unit. The TC-PED 2310 dual-bay pedestal features independent CATV and telecom/fiber compartments, allowing network operators to manage both systems without requiring separate installations.
What’s the difference between a CATV pedestal and a fiber optic pedestal?
A CATV pedestal is designed specifically for cable television equipment like taps, splitters, and amplifiers, while a fiber optic pedestal is optimized for fiber splicing and termination. The TC-PED 2310 combines both functionalities in one outside plant pedestal, with dedicated compartments for each network type.
Is the TC-PED 2310 suitable for outdoor installations?
Yes. This outside plant pedestal is built specifically for harsh outdoor environments. It features heavy-gauge galvanized steel construction with a GR-487 compliant powder-coat finish that resists UV exposure, corrosion, moisture, and temperature extremes common in OSP deployments.
What applications can the TC-PED 2310 dual-bay pedestal support?
The TC-PED 2310 OSP pedestal supports multiple applications including HFC (hybrid fiber-coax) networks, FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) deployments, FTTP (fiber-to-the-premise) installations, legacy copper transitions, rural broadband projects, and MDU (multi-dwelling unit) installations.
Can I access both compartments independently?
Yes. The TC-PED 2310 dual-bay pedestal features independent access to both the CATV pedestal compartment and the telecom/fiber compartment. This allows different technicians to service each network without interfering with the other and ensures proper network separation for safety and organization.
What’s included with the TC-PED 2310 outside plant pedestal?
The TC-PED 2310 includes 32-inch anchor posts, mounting hardware, metal tap mounting bracket (CATV side), ventilated front cover (CATV side), solid front cover (telecom side), dielectric shielding, integrated grounding bracket, tie-wrap saddles, and over-center security latches compatible with padlock provisions.
How does a dual-bay pedestal reduce installation costs?
A dual-bay pedestal eliminates the need for separate CATV and fiber optic pedestal installations, reducing equipment costs, field footprint, permitting requirements, and installation labor. The TC-PED 2310’s single-unit design simplifies deployment while maintaining complete network separation.
What are the dimensions and weight of the TC-PED 2310?
The TC-PED 2310 OSP pedestal measures 38″ H × 23″ W × 10″ D and weighs approximately 110 lbs. (120 lbs. shipping weight). The compact footprint maximizes internal capacity while minimizing the above-ground profile.
Is the TC-PED 2310 compatible with both copper and fiber installations?
Yes. This outside plant pedestal is designed to accommodate copper, coax, and fiber optic cabling. The dual-bay design makes it ideal for network transitions where legacy copper systems are being upgraded to fiber, allowing both technologies to coexist during migration periods.
