Overview
The RhinoDome Test Station is a high-visibility marker post engineered for durable outdoor utility and fiber optic infrastructure identification. Its rounded design provides superior visibility from all angles, ensuring clear identification of buried assets. The post is constructed from RhinoPoly, a proprietary blend of thermoplastics specifically formulated to resist environmental stressors, including direct sunlight, cracking, and fading over an extended operational life.
Designed for long-term field use, this test station includes a 96-inch post, a 21-inch dome topper with a removable cap, and a 10-inch anchor tube for secure ground installation. The unit is equipped with an industry-standard 11-hole terminal board and features hot-stamped graphic warnings that are integrated directly into the material for permanent legibility in harsh environments.
