A cabinet is a feature placed in the OpenComms data model that can be used to house ISP rack mounted equipment and OpenComms XConn devices for terminating a copper circuit or passing through the cabinet feature. Copper sheaths can be terminated at the Cabinet feature and the OpenComms Connections > Manual command can also be used at a cabinet to define connectivity through that location.
