•

Splice trays

A splice tray can be easily removed to an adjacent work surface for fiber routing and
splicing.

•

Entry for facility cables

-- is a brush-lined opening through which facility cables enter

the cabinet.

•

Entry ports for panel stubs

-- each accommodate one panel stub, containing either

288 or 576 fibers, as described in
