B-Line Eaton series utility cabinets, 1, ANSI 61 gray, Protects against contact with enclosed equipment, Type 1 telephone termination cabinet/surface

No. The 4848 TCS is a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is an indoor-only rating covering protection against contact with the enclosed equipment and falling dirt. It offers no protection against rain, hose-down, or windblown dust, so for an exterior wall or a wet mechanical room you need a NEMA 3R or 4 rated cabinet instead.

Surface mount, so it hangs on the face of the wall rather than recessing into the stud cavity. Empty weight is 88 lb before any terminations or blocks go in, so plan on anchoring into studs, unistrut, or masonry rather than drywall anchors, and get two people on the lift.

The published figures are 43 in height, 36 in width, and 43 in length/depth. Those are the numbers to check your wall run and any door swing or code clearance in front of the cabinet against before you commit to a location.

It is a steel wall cabinet that houses low-voltage telephone and communications terminations, punch-down blocks, and cross-connect hardware in one lockable indoor enclosure. On the 4848 TCS the function is containment and protection against contact with the enclosed equipment, not weather sealing or cooling. Contractors use them at building entrance points and at floor-level telecom closets to keep station cable terminations off open plywood.

Order it as Eaton B-Line model 4848 TCS. That is the single configuration, NEMA 1, ANSI 61 gray, surface mount, so there is no separate finish, gauge, or mounting suffix to specify.

It should. ANSI 61 gray is the standard industry enclosure color, and the 4848 TCS ships painted in it, so it reads the same as the bulk of panelboards, pull boxes, and utility cabinets in a typical commercial electrical or telecom room. Useful if you are standardizing a facility rather than patching one wall.

The record for the 4848 TCS carries a NEMA certification and a NEMA 1 degree of protection, which is the enclosure type designation a spec or submittal normally calls for on an indoor telecom cabinet. Cite it as a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, steel, surface mount.
