Optical Connectivity 2 The collapsible design of Switchblade fiber containment vaults delivers unmatched transportation and storage space efficiency when compared to traditional vaults. Freight Cost Comparison Standard 53-ft trucks can transport a total of 200 Switchblade fiber containment vaults on a full truck load (FTL). By comparison, an FTL of traditional vaults is maxed at approximately 50-100 total vaults. Utilizing fewer trucks to deliver more equipment in less deliveries contributes to increased project profitability. Fewer trucks also consume less fuel resulting in positive environmental and sustainability impacts. 200 UNITS MAX Switchblade® Fiber Containment Vaults 50-100 UNITS MAX Standard Handholes up to 3-4X More Vaults Shipped Switchblade ® FCV-2 Fiber Containment Vault Specifications PARAMETER DESCRIPTION Dimensions (External) 31" W x 41" L x 27" D (35” Extended) Dimensions (Internal) 24" W x 36" L x 24" D (32" with extension) Dimensions (Folded) Standard: 11" W x 63" D x 27" H Extended: 11" W x 63" D x 35" H Weight – lbs Base: 80 lbs Extended Base: 100 lbs Tier 22 Lid: 55 lbs Qualifications Governing Body Standard Code ANSI SCTE 77 2017 Test Rating – lbf Tier 22: 33,750 lbf Vault Type with T22 Lid FTL Delivery Qty Max.
