Installing a Fiber Splice Tray Holder
You can use a fiber splice tray to house and protect fiber splices. Use the optional rack-
mounted fiber splice tray holder to hold up to 10 splice trays, with each tray terminating up
to 12 fibers. The splice tray holder is 3 RU high and installs on any 23-inch rack. The splice
trays are available with fusion, heat shrink, and mechanical splicing options.
To install a fiber splice tray holder
1.
Unpack the splice tray holder assembly from its shipping packaging.
2.
Assemble the splice tray holder as follows:
a.
Mate the tray holder fixture to the mounting bracket, aligning the fixture's two
captive bolts with the counterpart holes in the bracket.
b.
Tighten the captive bolts to secure the holder fixture to the mounting bracket.
c.
(Optional) Attach one or both fiber management combs to the mounting bracket
using two supplied screws per comb.
3.
Determine the mounting location for the fiber splice tray holder.
Note:
The splice tray holder requires 3 RU of vertical space on a 23-inch rack. Select a
location with sufficient room to route fibers to and from the splice tray(s) without
interfering with other equipment or components. The splice tray holder is symmetrical,
allowing the assembly to be oriented and installed with the fiber management end on
either the right or left side. When installing the bracket, orient it so that the management
comb is on the side from which the fiber approaches.
4.
Position the splice tray holder against rack in the identified location, oriented with the
fiber management comb on the appropriate side. Attach the splice tray holder bracket to
the rack using four supplied self-tapping screws.
5.
Install the fiber routing conduit as follows:
a.
Get the supplied fiber routing conduit and velcro strap from the kit.
b.
Position one end of the routing conduit inside the entry of the mounting bracket.
c.
Secure the routing conduit to the bracket by wrapping the velcro strap around the
conduit and through the horizontal cutouts in the bracket as shown.
