PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
This section introduces the Two-Rack Unit (2RU) Fiber Management Tray (FMT).
1.1
General Description
The Two-Rack Unit (2RU) Fiber Management Tray (FMT) is a rack-mount fiber optic panel
consisting of a basic chassis with a slide-out drawer and a drop-in plate (DIP) installed inside
the drawer to provide various functions such as cable termination. The basic chassis is the same
for all models of the 2RU FMT. The drop-in plate, which is installed in the factory, depends on
customer order.
Figure 1
shows a 2RU FMT with a drop-in plate providing a micro-VAM
splitter function.
The 2RU FMT is available with the following rack-mount options:
• EIA or WECO, 19-inch (48.26 cm);
• EIA or WECO, 23-inch (58.42 cm);
• ETSI, 20.28 inch (51.51 cm);
• All rack-mount options (EIA, WECO, or ETSI) provide the following recess options: 2.2-
inch (5.59 cm), 5-inch (12.70 cm), 6-inch (15.24 cm), or 40 mm (1.6 inch).
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the
recommended minimum bend radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when
installing fiber optic cables and patch cords.
Danger: Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look
into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is
disconnected at the other end.
Caution: Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Do not
apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not compress the fiber or allow it to kink.
Caution: Placing a load in excess of 12 pounds (5.4 kg) onto an open tray will result in
misalignment or damage to the tray.
