Manual 012010 REV H - July 2018

When bringing fiber to a patch & splice panel, to store the 

required slack, you should use radius limiter assemblies (P/N 

010600) in pairs. This part number is ordered and shipped 

separately from the frame kit or panels.

Patch and Splice Panels

Buffer tube storage on radius limiter assemblies shown here.

Note:

 Using the cable clamps, cables can be secured to either side 

of the the cable mounting brackets.

Once you have the desired slack stored (including an additional 

3ft/1m of fiber for splicing), remove the cassettes from the panel. 

Bring your fiber through the front of the frame and proceed to 

splicing in your cassettes

Re-store the slack and mount the cassettes back into the panel.
