Installation

Installation and Packaging

  1. Secure the enclosure to the rack and fix the incoming cables before routing fibers to the splice trays.
  2. Route pigtails and fiber slack along the guides, follow the bend-radius requirements of the cable and fiber, and keep fibers clear of the slides and door hinges.
  3. Leave enough slack for drawer travel. Check that no fiber is trapped before closing, and keep unused optical ports capped.

PackagingPackaging and labeling can be agreed to suit your project requirements.
