• Radius Limiters (4)—Maintain a protective, minimum-bend radius for cables routed into

tray. There are two front and two rear radius limiters, as shown.

• Sliding Adapter 6-Packs (8)—Provide easy access for connecting cables and cleaning

connectors and adapters. A variety of singlemode and multimode connector types are
available from ADC. For details, refer to the product catalog.

• VELCRO Loop Tie-Down Points (Each Side)—Are used to secure cables to the side of

the tray using the velcro loops provided with the product.

• Wax Lacing Tie-Down Points (Each Side)—Are used to secure cables on the back of the

tray using wax lacing (not provided).

• Mounting Brackets (2)—Are used to fasten the tray to the rack.

• Sliding Radius Limiters (2)—Provide protected entry points for cables. The movement

of these radius limiters is controlled for optimum slack management.

• Keylock (Optional)—Provides a means to lock the tray when closed.
