Buried distribution pedestals designed for superior OSP protection of fiber optic splice and storage points. Pedlock BDO Series Pedestals are a key element of any FTTP solution. In both greenfield and brownfield fiber deployments, BDO Pedestals provide easy access to branch and drop splice while protecting and storing loose buffer tube fiber optic cables. The exclusive BDO bracket allows technicians to mount splice trays and splitters securely with ample access to perform in-field splicing.
BDO Pedestals feature a non-metallic construction that offers super OSP protection against floods, fire, dirt, insects and impact. An expanded-capacity split base is designed to easily install around conduit-fed cable bundles in new construction (excludes 14” diameter pedestals). BDO pedestals are an ideal solution for rehabilitation of metallic enclosures, and protection of co-located copper/fiber distribution points

PEDLOCK® Universal Buried Distribution Closures Mean Lower Costs

Lightning, corrosion, flooding, fire, impact, temperature extremes, dust, insects, ground acids and chemicals are just a few of the things that can eat away your profits.

PEDLOCK pedestals provide superior environmental protection of splice connections, terminal blocks and other OSP hardware resulting in lowered costs, reduced maintenance and improved network reliability. Over 25 years of pedestal development, laboratory testing and extensive field use by Bell, Independent and RUS Telcos have produced the industry's most trusted non-metallic buried distribution closure. Charles' comprehensive line of PEDLOCK options and accessories offers service providers the flexibility necessary for every type of OSP application.

Pedestal Features


Non-metallic PVC construction won’t rust, corrode, chip or fade. Internal equipment is protected from floods, fires, and wind-blown dust and debris
Corrugated channel base eliminates the need for metallic mounting stakes in most soil conditions. The base’s square design increases capacity and easily accepts conduit bundles
Split base design allows for easy and speedy access to cable/wire entrance area. Four 1¼” circular knockouts and one 4½” x 1½” rectangular “mouse hole” knockout below the ground-line provide easy exits for service wires without disturbing gravel or pedestal base fill. Stake mounting holes on three of the base’s sides provide flexibility in placement of mounting stake
Two splice bracket options provide users with a choice in splicing arrangements. The U-Backboard accommodates all types of terminal blocks and load coil cases with ladder bars on back for cable splices. The S-Bracket features an open ladder bar architecture for large pair-count splices. Both bracket options mount to the base of the pedestal using an innovative rail mount system that allows the brackets to be removed without the use of tools
Ground bars meet all GR-13-CORE requirements for proper grounding of service wires and cable sheaths
Self-locking dome with positive alignment guides ensures quick opening and takes the guesswork out of secure closing. 216-cupped bolt lock prevents unauthorized entry.

Base Options

Split design allows pedestal to be easily placed around existing splice points, ideal for rehabilitation of metal enclosures
Corrugated channels provided stable placement in all soil types, including sandy soils
Rail mount system secures or releases splice bracket to base quickly and easily without the need of tools
Five service wire knockouts (four circular and one “mouse hole”) provide multiple service wire exit points
Mounting stake holes placed on three different base sides
Drop wire channel provides good-housekeeping
216-cupped bolt locks and shoulder pin attachments join base halves
Embossed ground line
