ANSI / SCTE 77
Full Name
ANSI/SCTE 77 – Specifications for Underground Enclosure Integrity
Scope
ANSI/SCTE 77 outlines stringent performance criteria for underground enclosures housing telecommunications or low-voltage equipment accessible to the public. This standard ensures the long-term durability and safety of these enclosures by establishing comprehensive integrity requirements.
Key aspects covered in ANSI/SCTE 77 include:
- Conformance testing: rigorous procedures to evaluate enclosure performance under various conditions.
- Integrity system: specifications for a complete enclosure system, encompassing materials, design, and installation.
- Load resistance: requirements for withstanding vertical and lateral loads, simulating real-world conditions.
- Impact resistance: tests to assess the ability of the enclosure to resist damage from external forces.
- Environmental protection: criteria for safeguarding internal equipment from environmental factors.
Adherence to ANSI/SCTE 77 is crucial for manufacturers, installers, and owners of underground enclosures to demonstrate product reliability and public safety.
