Tie Panels
1. For the incoming multi-fiber
bundle, slack storage is performed
in the rear protection of the panel.
2. Before bringing in the fiber,
install the included self-adhesive
foam separators and cable man
-
agement clips. Trim the foam
separators to the correct height for
the panel that is being installed.
3. Remove the protective tape from
the adhesive and install the
separators on the edges of the
panel approximately half-way from
the front of the panel to the back.
The 1RU panel will NOT have the separators and the 288 panel will have four separators (two will be stacked on top
of each other on each side).
Note:
The adhesive is fairly aggressive so make sure you know where to place the pieces before removing the protec-
tive tape of the adhesive. Once installed let sit for a few minutes. Do not worry if they are not in the exact location as
long as they are not too close to the tie plate.
Install the cable management clips in the locations indicated.
Once the cable management is set you can install and route the fiber into the panel. Clamping off the incoming
multi-fiber bundle is the same method as our standard panels.
Use the included mounting screws to fasten the green clam shells and cable
to the rear cable bracket. The cable should be mounted so that the breakout
is slightly beyond the end of the clamp.
If bringing all the jumpers into the tie panel, the cables can either be bundled
and wrapped in foam tape to clamp to the back of the panel, or tied to the
provided bridge lances.
Note:
If bringing in jumpers periodically it is recommended you use velcro and bridge lances to secure the jumpers.
This will make it easier to unsecure and re-secure the jumpers when fiber is added.
