Installing a Fiber Distribution Cassette Holder
You can use fiber distribution cassettes to terminate connectorized pigtails from a fiber splice
tray and to provide fiber patch panel functionality for the equipment. Use the optional rack-
mounted fiber distribution cassette holder to hold up to six distribution cassettes, with each
cassette terminating up to 12 fibers. With cassettes installed, the cassette holder requires 6
RU of vertical space and mounts on any 23-inch rack. The cassette optical adapters are
available with LC or SC (UPC or APC) connector options.
To install a fiber distribution cassette holder
1.
Unpack the cassette holder assembly from the shipping packaging.
2.
Assemble the distribution cassette holder as follows:
a.
Mate the cassette 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.
3.
Determine the mounting location for the fiber distribution cassette holder.
Note:
The distribution cassette holder requires 6 RU of vertical space on a 23-inch rack.
Select a location with sufficient room to route fibers to and from the cassettes without
interfering with other equipment or components.
4.
Position the cassette holder against rack in the identified location, oriented with the
swivel side of the holder on the left. Attach the distribution panel to the rack using six
supplied self-tapping screws.
