It is available in eight types: 12 or 24 position termination panel; 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, or 144 position termination/splice panel. All eight types can be installed on either a 19-inch (48.26 cm) or 23-inch (58.42 cm) EIA or WECO rack. They can be mounted flush on the rack or with a 5-inch (12.7 cm) recess. Standard flush mount capability makes the panels well-suited to cabinet installations. The eight FL1000 rack-mount models have analogous features. All have angled adapters designed to reduce bend when routing patch cords. All use ADC adapter 6paks. Termination/splice panels are identical to the 24 position termination panel in termination function and, in addition, have a slideout deck used for mounting splice trays. All panel types are designed for patch cords to be connected to the front adapters to patch between optic circuits. FL1000 panels can be used for either a single mode or multimode application. The panel can be used for either Outside Plant (OSP) or Intra Facility Cable (IFC). Figure 1 shows the main external features of the 12 position termination panel with its bulkhead and two 6pak adapter plates. This panel has a removable front access door providing access to the front side of the bulkhead. A slide-out deck provides access to the cable subunits routed through the chassis to the rear adapters. The panel has mounting brackets for fastening the panel to a rack and a cable tie down bracket for securing a cable.

15 3.3 Installing Cables and Routing Fibers The FL1000 rack-mount panel can accommodate either IFC or OSP cable. The procedures used to install the cable differ slightly for the different chassis types. Refer to the appropriate topic below for the type being installed Position Termination Panel Figure 12 shows cable routing options and breakout dimensions for the 12 position termination panel. The cable can enter from above or below the chassis and from the left or right side. Use the following procedure to install the cable. 1. Route the cable to the chassis and break out the cable corresponding to Figure Secure the cable as follows: a. Fasten the tie-down bracket to the panel at the cable point of entry using the screws provided. b. Position the cable on the tie down bracket with the cable sheath extending about 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) beyond the bracket into the chassis. c. Tie down the cable using cord lacing. d. Secure the cable in a second location on the rack or wall using a user-provided clamp per local practice. 3. Remove the front access door and slide out the bulkhead deck. 4. Route the buffers within the chassis from the cable point of entry to the opposite side of the bulkhead deck, as shown in Figure Tie down the buffers in the location shown in Figure 12 using cord lacing secured to the lance. 6. At the buffer breakout point, fan out the fibers from the buffers and secure them using a curly lock at the location shown in Figure 12. Danger: 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. 7. Connect the fiber connectors to the adapters on the rear of the 6pak adapter plate. 8. Slide in the bulkhead deck to its closed position. 9. Replace the front access cover. Page 15

The cable can enter from above or below the chassis and from left or right side. Figure 13. Cable Breakout for 24 Position Termination Panel Use the following procedure to install a cable in the 24 position termination panel. 1. Route the cable to the chassis and break out the cable corresponding to Figure Secure the cable as follows (see Figure 14): a. Install the clamp bracket at the chosen clamp location by inserting the two integral bolts from inside the chassis. Page 17

18 b. Sort through the rubber grommets in the kit and find the one that best fits the cable. If the cable is too small to fit snugly in the smallest grommet, build up the cable with tape of a suitable material per local standards. c. Assemble the cable clamp components on the bracket studs in the order shown in the figure and secure with the two nuts provided. Figure 14. Installing a Cable Clamp on a 24 Position Panel (Select from Four Mounting Locations) 3. If the cable being installed is an OSP cable with a metallic strength member, bond the cable to ground following the instructions for the bonding/grounding kit. 4. Remove the rear door, if not already removed. 5. Route the fibers within chassis as shown in Figure 13; tie down fibers in B position shown. Danger: 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 helps prevent contamination of connectors and adapters. Page 18

19 6. Connect the fiber connectors to the adaptors on the rear of the 6pak adapter plate. 7. Replace the rear door Termination/Splice Panel (24, 36, 72, 96, or 144 Position) Figure 16 shows cable routing options and breakout dimensions for the 24 position termination/ splice panel. Routing is analogous for other termination/splice panels. The cable can enter from above or below the chassis and from left or right side. Use the following procedure to install a cable in a termination/splice panel. 1. Route the cable to the chassis. 2. Lift up on the splice drawer and pull it straight out as shown in Figure Thread the cable stub through the chassis onto the splice tray in the approximate position shown in Figure 16. Based on the figure, determine how much length of cable will be required for the B to C double loop section shown. 4. Break out the cable, leaving 36 inches (91.44 cm) of bare fiber for a splicing loop. 5. Secure the cable with a cable clamp in the position shown, about 0.75 inches (1.91 cm) before the breakout point. For instructions refer to Figure 14 on Page Tie the fibers down with cord lacing in the B position shown in Figure If the cable being installed is an OSP cable with a metallic strength member, bond the cable to ground following the instructions for the bonding/grounding kit A PUSH UPWARD AND PULL TO REMOVE DRAWER Figure 15. Removing the Splice Drawer Page 19

21 3.4 Splicing Use the following procedure for splicing in a termination/splice panel. 1. Place a splice tray in the splice drawer (if not already there). 2. Route the fiber into the splice tray on the same side as the pigtail fiber that it is going to be spliced to, as shown in Figure 17. Loop the fiber around twice in the splice tray. 3. Splice per local practice. 4. Tie down the fibers with cord lacing in the C position shown in Figure 17. Refer also to Figure 16 for correct routing. Figure 17. Routing Fibers on a Splice Tray Page 21

22 4 OPERATION In all operation procedures, observe the following precaution. Danger: 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. 4.1 Installing Patch Cords Use the following procedure to install patch cords. 1. Clean all connectors according to local practice. 2. Open the front cover and connect patch cords at the applicable receptacles on the bulkhead panel. 3. Route the patch cords in the direction of the angled adaptor toward the side of the FL1000 unit and then to office equipment (interconnect) or another FL1000 unit (cross-connect). 4. Record the cable fiber identification on the designation label on the front cover. Page 22

23 4.2 Cleaning Adapters and Connectors Dust and other contaminants on fiber optic connectors and adapters can seriously degrade circuit performance. To prevent contamination, each unused connector or adapter must be protected with a clean dust cap. Routine termination activity can also introduce contaminants; therefore, it is essential that connectors and adapters be cleaned before making connections. The cleaning kit available from ADC (catalog number FPC-CLNKIT) can be used to clean any style connector, or any adapters that are accessible from both sides (such as those on the 6pak). Page 23
