Abstract:
A repeater case for high density subscriber lines comprising:a repeater base; a repeater housing forming a sealed enclosure with the base and having interior walls; a plurality of module slots configured to receive HDSL-4 circuit board modules; a heat conductive material in the housing sized and positioned to contact both the HDSL-4 circuit board modules and the housing to form a heat escape path from the modules to ambient, the heat conductive material attached to an interior wall of a lid of the repeater housing, the heat conductive material not being required for structural support of the modules or their electrical functioning, wherein the HDSL-4 circuit board modules are cooled through thermal conductivity with thermally conductive contact with the interior wall of the repeater housing to the ambient outside of the repeater case.
