Installing Cables and Loading Splice Trays
5.1
Overview
Panel stubs originate in panels mounted on an adjacent frame. Facility cables originate in other
equipment, inside or outside of the building. Panel stubs come in from the left and are routed in
the area left of the splice decks. Facility cables come in from the top and are routed in the area
right of the splice decks. Splice trays are typically removed to a nearby work area for fiber routing
and splicing. When a splice tray is returned to the cabinet, the slack is lifted over the cable man-
agement on the appropriate side of the splice deck as shown in
. Slack for subsequent
splice trays is nested neatly within the slack loops already present. Slack for upper and lower
splice decks is kept separate.
