client: ABB, 2002

The CDC 2000 cable distribution cabinet is used to connect  and distribute power lines as well as TV cable wires and telephone cables .

The housing is produced in polycarbonate plastic and is extremely robust. The unofficial strength test involves a bottle of vodka and a baseball bat. The tester whacks the daylights out of the cabinet after embibing in a bottle of vodka. A full-face motorcycle helmet is used during testing as an important safety consideration. The polycarbonate front is not only virtually indestructable, because of the spring-back it is also potentially dangerous for an alchoholic crazed baseball bat weilding vandal.

One of the official tests was performed by the military at a firing range. The cabinet survived but blew a hole in the wall behind it!

For the unbelievers, L2DESIGN designed for ABB an alternative version of the CDC with a metal front.
