1. Place the Fiber Wallmount Cabinet near the incoming fiber and patch cord
routing.
2. Mount the cabinet on a wall. Use the enclosure as a positioning template,
then use fasteners that are appropriate for the wall construction.
3. Make sure there is at least 3.2 feet (1 m) of incoming cable to terminate. You
will strip this cable to expose the fibers and then store the fiber slack in the
enclosure.
4. If splice trays are required in the cabinet, install them first. If you will not use
splice trays, use the snap-in wire clips in the mounting holes.
5. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius (for example, 1.18" [3 cm] for
900-micron buffered fiber cable) when routing the fiber slack cable.
6. Next, install the fiber adapter panel in the center vertical mount. Snap the
fiber panels into position, then press the button on the panels to lock them in
place.

1. Carefully feed approximately 54 inches (137.2 cm) of cable through the
round access port in the enclosure.
2. Mark the cable jacket where it will tie to the cable bracket.
3. Use a Kevlar® clamp (located in the upper and lower corners on the
technician’s side of the cabinet) to firmly hold the bulk fiber cable in place.
4. Carefully remove the jacket and all strength members to a point above (closer
to the end) of the tie-down point. (You will place the cable tie on jacketed
cable.) Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for stripping and
cleaning the cable.
