5.6 Installing Cables
Cables are installed on the rear of the Propel panel to transition from the rear of the connection
components to other equipment. If the connection component is an MPO module or adapter pack,
the cable needs to be terminated with the appropriate connectors. If the connection component is a
splice cassette, the cable must have a pigtail termination for splicing to the fibers within the splice
cassette.
Once connected or spliced, the cables are routed from the connection components across the
cable management platform to the cable management bracket where the individual cables are
secured using cable management clips. From the cable management bracket, the cables are
routed to the far end equipment.
Use the following procedure.
1.
Route the cable in an arc to the cable management bracket. Avoid kinking the cable or
bending it beyond the minimum bend radius as specified by the cable manufacturer.
2.
At the point where the cable passes over the cable management bracket, install a cable
management clip. For detailed instructions, refer to
.
3.
Insert the cable management clip within the cable management bracket. For detailed
instructions, refer to
.
4.
Route the cables neatly on the cable management platform and secure the cables with
cable ties if needed to hold them in place. Refer to
5.7 Installing Patch Cords
Patch cords are installed on the front of the Propel panel to connect the front of the connection
components to other equipment at the same site.
Patch cords are secured and routed using the factory-installed patch cord managers on the front
edge of the blade. If the patch cord managers are not present, they should be installed because
they keep the patch cords in neat order when the blade is slid open.
To install patch cords, do the following procedure.
1.
If not already present, install patch cord managers as instructed in
.
2.
Connect the patch cords to the desired port.
3.
Route the patch cords neatly to both sides of the blade as shown in
. The number
of patch cords routed to each side does not matter so long as the patch cords are neatly
arranged.
Note:
Further instructions for the cable management clip are provided with the cable
assembly.
