An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments in the form of Dangers, Warnings and Cautions must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the triangular alert icon (seen below) and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence. Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided. Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided. Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided. General Safety Precautions Warning: Never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a lighting storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before working with un-insulated lines or terminals prevent electrical shock. Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter or into the launching (output) end of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors and adapters. Page 2

3 1 GENERAL ADC s FL , 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-Position Termination/Splice Panels provide fiber termination and splicing capability for intrafacility fiber cable (IFC), outside plant cable (OSP) and fiber optic terminal (FOT) patch cords in small-to-medium sized fiber networks and customer premise applications. The termination/splice panels are available in five different interconnect capacities (i.e., 12-, 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-fiber terminations). The panels can be installed in an EIA or WECO 19- and 23-inch (48.26 or cm) rack or they can be wall mounted. The panels can also be installed in an ETSI rack. In the 23-inch (58.42 cm) rack version, the extra width is made up in a wider vertical cable guide (VCG). Two 6pak plate variations are available: the simplex plate and the duplex plate. See Figure 1. The simplex plate can accommodate six simplex angled or keyed receptacles or FC, SC, SMA or ST adapter types. The duplex plate can accommodate three duplex SC, ESCON/ST, FDDI/ST or LX.5 adapter assemblies. The angled connectors provide for front panel cross-connects and ensure fiber patch cords maintain the minimum bend radius of 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). Note: ADC recommends the termination/splice panel s front cover remain open when using ESCON/ST or FDDI/ST adapter types. Note: The minimum bend radius is the smallest radius that can be tolerated before attenuation takes place. Bending a fiber cable 90, will cause a 3dB (50%) loss in power. Typically, the minimum bend radius of a fiber is ten times the outside diameter of the optical cable. A D C A D C SIMPLEX 6PAK PLATE A D C A D C DUPLEX 6PAK PLATE 5694-A Figure 1. Simplex and Duplex 6pak Plates Note: Each splice tray on the termination/splice panel, accommodates pigtail bundles from two 6pak plates (12 fibers). When terminating the 6pak pigtails, start at the lowermost splice tray and work up. For example, terminations 1 through 12 are terminated at the lowermost splice tray; terminations 13 through 24 are terminated at the second splice tray from the bottom. Page 3

ETSI Flush Mount Kit The ETSI Flush Mount Kit provides slotted holes to adjust the termination/splice panel in the rack. The outer brackets provide vertical, slotted mounting holes. The vertical mounting holes allow the panel to be adjusted up or down in the rack to compensate for the uneven rack mounting hole spacing. The horizontal mounting holes found in the termination/splice panel (refer to Figure 5) allow the panel to be adjusted from side-to-side to align the VCG and panel with other VCGs and panels in the rack. Page 10

11 3.2 Termination/Splice Panel Wall Mount Installation The termination/splice panel may be attached directly to a wall; however, ADC recommends that it be mounted on a 3/4-inch-thick plywood panel attached to the wall, in accordance with local fire code. If the wall surface is uneven, shim the plywood as required to ensure a flat mounting surface. Make sure that the fasteners used to attach the plywood panel can support the weight of the plywood panel, the termination/splice panel and any other equipment attached to the plywood. If attaching the panel directly to a wall, ensure that the selected fasteners can support the weight of the panel. Install the panel as follows: 1. Remove the panel front cover by opening the cover approximately two inches (5 cm), then lifting the cover from the hinges. 2. Position the panel in its designated location on the wall or plywood panel so FOT patch cords enter the panel at the left. It is recommended that OSP/IFC cables enter the panel from the left side of the panel (as viewed from the front). 3. Using the termination/splice rear panel as a template, mark the four mounting hole positions on the wall or plywood. See Figure 6. MOUNTING HOLES (4) A Figure 6. Wall Mount Panel Mounting Hole Locations 4. To mount the panel on plywood, insert # inch wood screws in the pilot mounting holes and tighten all four screws securely. To mount the panel on a surface other than wood, select appropriate fasteners and attach the panel to the wall surface using the instructions provided with the fasteners. 3.3 Termination/Splice Panel Component Assembly Supplied termination/splice panel components include designation labels, bulkhead panel labels and hole plugs. Optional components for the panel include a key lock, ground kit, cable clamp (FL2-ACC007) and an FL2 Flush Mount Kit (for mounting the panel with either a flush, 1-, 2- or 4-inch recess). Page 11

12 3.3.1 Cable Clamp Assembly Optional cable clamp kits or tie wraps may be installed, if OSP/IFC cables are routed to the panel. Tie wraps may be used to anchor the cables to the smaller 12- or 24-position Termination/Splice Panel which is equipped with one or two splice trays. Each cable clamp kit includes a clamp bracket, two rubber yokes, three various sized rubber grommets (to provide for different cable sizes), two hex nuts, a plate and an optional cover (to provide for additional cable management). If the cable clamp kit is used, install the kit using the following procedure: 1. Select a grommet that when placed around the cable has a gap within the range of nearly zero to 0.30 inches (0 to 8 mm). If the cable diameter is 0.7 to 0.8 inches (1.78 to 2.03 cm), no grommet is required. 2. Assemble the cable clamp components to the side of the panel as shown in Figure 7. Note: When assembling the cable clamp kit, either the plate or the cover may be used. The cover is used when additional cable management is required.

The 48-, 72- and 96-Position Termination/Splice Panels have additional cable mounting and entry holes; cable clamps should be positioned based on the cable routing within the panel. 4. If the cable is routed to the panel from above, install the cable clamp in the upper part of the panel. If the cable is routed to the panel from below, install the cable clamp in the lower part of the panel. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each cable clamp kit installed Designation Labels Number labels, located on the inside front cover, are provided for identifying interconnected circuits in the panel. Page 12

13 3.3.3 Key Lock The front cover of the panel is equipped with a turn latch; however, a key lock may be ordered as a security option. Use the following procedure to install the key lock: 1. From inside the front cover, remove the lock nut that holds the latch to the cover. 2. Remove the latch body from the latch cutout through the front of the cover. 3. Insert the key lock body through the cutout and thread the lock nut onto the key lock body Hole Plugs Hole plugs (provided) should be installed in the top and bottom rear corners of the panel when the panel is not mounted directly above or below another similar panel. 3.4 Termination/Splice Panel Wiring Procedure This section provides IFC, OSP and 6pak wiring procedures for the FL2000 Termination/ Splice Panels. Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter or into the launching (output) end of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors and adapters. When routing IFC cable, allow a minimum of 12.5 feet (3.8 m) of IFC cable from the cable clamp (at the left rear of the panel) to the splice chip (located on the splice tray). Label each IFC cable for splice identification Intrafacility Cable (IFC) Wiring Procedure with Splice Wheel Using the Round Splice Tray Cable Routing Instructions ADCP route and store the extra IFC as instructed Intrafacility Cable (IFC) Wiring Procedure with Splice Deck Using Figure 8 as reference, route the IFC cable as follows: 1. Feed a minimum of 12.5 feet (3.8 m) of IFC cable through the cable clamp at left rear (as viewed from front) into the cable entry point; through the service loop storage area; under the fanning finger; then out the front of the splice tray panel. 2. Position corrugated tubing (provided) over cable and secure tubing and cable to fanning finger with lacing. 3. Remove lowermost splice tray and set in front of splice panel. Page 13

14 4. Measure 12 inches (30.48 cm) of cable from fanning finger tie down point to the innermost tie down lance at left rear of splice tray. Mark the cable to provide a splice tray tie down point. 5. Route cable clockwise two times around the radius limiters on the splice tray ensuring the cable wrapped around the second time is routed to the inside (closest to the radius limiters).

Remove the cover positioned over the 900 micron storage tray and splice chips. Route cable under the upper left corner of the storage tray. 8. Allow at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) of outer jacket inside the storage tray and strip off the remaining jacket to expose the stranded fibers. Clean inner fibers according to local practice. See the exploded view in Figure 8. Note: Allow at least 40.5 inches (1.03 m) of stranded fiber from the jacket cutting point (where cable enters storage area) to the splice chips. 9. Route stranded fibers clockwise at least three times around the inside of the storage tray using a crossover pattern the third time and then down to the left side of the splice chips. Page 14

15 3.4.3 OSP Cable Preparation The 12-, 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-position Termination/Splice Panels accommodate 12-, 24-, 48-, 72- and 96-fiber cable, respectively. The 12-fiber contains 12 fibers; the 24-fiber cable contains two 12-fiber subunits, the 48-fiber contains four 12-fiber subunits, the 72-fiber cable contains six 12-fiber subunits, and the 96-fiber cable contains eight 12-fiber subunits. The OSP fiber subunit jackets are made of a stiff plastic material and must be replaced by flexible clear buffer tubes (provided with the termination/splice panel) to maintain a minimum bend radius when routing the fibers through the splice panel. Using Figure 9 as reference, prepare and route the OSP cable as follows: 12.5 FT. (3.81 M) 1.5 IN. (3.81 CM) 0.75 IN. (1.90 CM) 1.0 IN. (2.54 CM) 9 FT. (2.74 M) 40.5 IN.

Remove lowermost splice tray and set in front of splice panel OSP Cable Wiring Procedure with Splice Wheel Using the Round Splice Tray Cable Routing Instructions ADCP route and store the extra OSP cable as instructed OSP Cable Wiring Procedure with Splice Deck 1. Measure 12 inches (30.48 cm) of subunit cable from fanning finger tie down point to the innermost tie down lance at left rear of splice tray. Mark each subunit to provide a splice tray tie down point. Note: Allowing 12 inches (30.48 cm) of cable from the fanning strip to the splice tray ensures the proper length service loop when removing the splice tray. 2. Route cables clockwise around the radius limiters two times ensuring the cable wrapped around the second time is routed to the inside (closest to the radius limiters). 3. Secure cable to innermost tie down lances at the left and right rear of splice tray ensuring cable lays flat on splice tray. 4. Remove the cover positioned over the 900 micron storage tray and splice chip. 5. Route cable under the upper left corner of storage tray. Page 16

17 6. Allow approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) of the clear buffer tube jacket inside the storage tray and strip off the remaining jacket to expose the stranded fibers. Note: There should be at 40.5 inches (1.03 m) of stranded fiber exposed from the jacket cutting point (where cable enters storage area) to the splice chip. 7. Clean inner fibers according to local practice. 8. Route stranded fibers clockwise at least three times around the inside of storage tray using a crossover pattern the third time and then down to the left side of the splice chip pak Installation and Pigtail Routing Procedure This section contains the 6pak installation and pigtail routing procedure for the termination/splice panels. The 24- and 48-position panels are shown for reference. The pigtail routing procedure for the 72- and 96-position Termination/Splice Panel is similar to the 48- position panel; however, there are more 6paks and splice trays in the 72- and 96-position panels. The pigtail routing procedure for the 12- position Termination/Splice Panel is similar to the 48-position panel; however there are only two 6paks and one splice tray. When installing 6paks, install the first 6pak (terminations 1 through 6) in the top left slot of the bulkhead panel. See Figure 11. The recommended length of cable routed from the 6pak plate to the splice chip is 12 feet (3.66 m) A Figure 11. 6pak Plate Installation (48-Position Termination/Splice Panel Shown) 1. Unlatch the right side of bulkhead and open the bulkhead panel. 2. Insert pigtail cables through the top left slot of bulkhead panel (terminations 1 through 6). Note: Make sure pigtail connectors face to the left side of the panel (as viewed from the front). 3. Align the eight tabs on the top and bottom of the 6pak plate with notches in bulkhead panel and slide 6pak plate to the left to lock in place. Refer to Figure 11. Page 17

18 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each 6pak mounted in the panel. Label each cable for identification. 5. Working from the back of the bulkhead panel, route the cables through the left and right cable rings. 6. Secure the cables to the right of the cable rings (with lacing) ensuring the lacing is over the jacketed portion of the cables. See the exploded view on Figure Route the cables counter-clockwise (as viewed from front) at least two times around the radius limiters. Refer to Figure 12 when routing cables in a 24-position panel and Figure 13 when routing cables in a 48-, 72- or 96-postion panel. 8. Secure cables to the front right cable bracket making sure there is enough slack in the cables so bulkhead panel can open at least Route cables down through the slot at the left rear of panel, into the service loop service area and out the front of the panel.

Position a piece of corrugated tubing (provided) around each pair of cables from the 6paks and secure to associated fanning finger. For example, secure terminations 1 through 12 under the lowermost fanning finger and work up for each additional pair of cables. 11. Remove lowermost splice tray from panel pak Pigtail Storage Procedure with Splice Wheel The lowermost splice tray accommodates terminations 1 through 12 on the bulkhead panel. When terminating 6pak cables, start with terminations 1 through 12. Using the Round Splice Tray Cable Routing Instructions ADCP terminate, route and store the 6pak pigtail cables as instructed pak Pigtail Storage Procedure with Splice Deck The lowermost splice tray accommodates terminations 1 through 12 on the bulkhead panel. When terminating 6pak cables, start with terminations 1 through 12. See Figure Measure 12 inches (30.48 cm) of cable from fanning finger to cable tie down lance at left rear of splice tray (closest to cable retainer) and secure cables from 6paks to lance. Note: Allowing 12 inches (30.48 cm) of cable from the fanning finger to splice tray provides the proper amount of slack when removing the splice tray. 2. Route cables clockwise around the two rear radius limiters and secure cables to the tiedown lance closest to the radius limiter at the right rear of splice tray. 3. Continue routing cables two times around the tray. Note: Make sure the cables are routed to the inside of the tied down cable when the cables are wrapped around the bracket a second time. This allows for better cable management when cables are routed to the storage tray. Page 19
