Once the FEC is mounted to the wall, you are now ready to route fiber into the cabinet.
Multiple entry/exit points allow for multiple distribution and OSP fiber sheaths to enter the FEC from the top, bottom, or
sidewalls, transitioning from conduit, overhead fiber tray or raised flooring. Cable entry/exit points are located around the
perimeter of the cabinet. See pictures below.
Note:
Each cable entrance plate will support cable diameters up to 1 inch.
The cabinet comes with 4 sheet metal brackets for cable mounting and 16 blank plastic plates. The cables can be installed
with either the clamps on the outside of the cabinet or with the clamps on the inside of the cabinet for extra security. Plugs
are also included in the kit to fill the unused holes.
Choose the appropriate sized cable clamp for the cable entering the FEC. Always use a clamp large enough to close
around the cable, and utililze grommet tape to make up for the size difference by laying a small strip of grommet tape inside
the cable clamp shell.
DO NOT
use a clamp that “pinches” the cable.
Note:
Grommet tape included in the kit may be used to build up the cable size to get a better grip with the provided clamps.
A removable splice block, holding twelve 24-fiber splice trays, allows the user to prep away from the cabinet.
Note:
Splice trays are sold separate
ly
(P/N 019339).
