B-LINE 3636 TCS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton B-Line 3636 TCS telephone cabinet rated for outdoor or wet locations?
No. The 3636 TCS carries a NEMA 1 rating, which is indoor use only, protecting against contact with the enclosed equipment. It is not built to keep out rain, sleet, or washdown, so a wet or exterior wall needs a NEMA 3R or 4 enclosure instead.
2) What are the actual box dimensions of the B-Line 3636 TCS termination cabinet?
It measures 31 inches in height, 31 inches in width, and 31 inches in length/depth, and weighs 36 lb. Lay that out on the wall before you commit, because a 31 inch square footprint needs clear stud space and room for the single door to swing.
3) Can this B-Line telephone termination cabinet be recessed into the wall?
It is a surface mount cabinet. The 3636 TCS hangs on the finished wall surface, so if the spec on the drawing calls for a flush or recessed backbox, this is not the right cabinet for that opening.
4) How does the door on the Eaton B-Line 3636 TCS latch, and can it be locked?
Single door with a tumbler latch. That gives you a keyed-style latching point rather than a simple twist catch, which is what most telecom and MDF rooms want to keep tenants and trades out of the terminations. One door, so plan the swing clearance on a 31 inch wide cabinet.
5) What gauge steel is the B-Line 3636 TCS cabinet, and will the finish hold up in a mechanical room?
The body is 12 gauge steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish. Twelve gauge is heavy for a termination cabinet, so it takes wall-mounted backboard and terminal block loading without oil-canning, and the ANSI 61 gray matches the standard switchgear and panel color already in most electrical and telecom rooms.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line 3636 TCS cabinet acceptable for a Canadian job?
It is built to CSA C22.2, so it meets the Canadian enclosure standard referenced on most electrical and telecom submittals north of the border. That is the certification carried on the cabinet.
7) What part number do I order for the 36 x 36 B-Line telephone cabinet with the tumbler latch?
Order Eaton B-Line model 3636 TCS. That is the Type 1 telephone termination cabinet, surface mount, single door with tumbler latch, ANSI 61 gray.
8) Does the 3636 TCS come with a plywood backboard or knockouts for conduit?
The cabinet itself is the 12 gauge steel enclosure with a single tumbler-latch door, finished in ANSI 61 gray. Plan on supplying your own backboard, terminal hardware, and mounting fasteners for the wall as part of the install.
