Resists impact while preserving internals.

The MCM Base has been designed to react adequately upon a major impact from a vehicle in urban area. In this case, the MCM Base is certified to react as follows:

On impact, the cabinet will take a slight angle on the opposite side with the lamp post following the angle of the cabinet;

The anchoring bolts fastening the cabinet to the Sub-base will bend then section sequentially, starting on the impacted side;

At least one of the anchors will not section in order to maintain the cabinet above the Sub-base and prevent damage to the enclosed network cables;

The cabinet will absorb this way a good part of the energy of the impact, therefore protecting the driver of the vehicle and preventing the fall of the lamp post;
 


The cabinet will be easily replaced without service interruption to the enclosed connections, as well for the energy, telephone, and cableTV.
