Cable Mounting Brackets
-- accommodate different types of cable clamps as required
for the different sizes and combinations of cables that can be installed.
1.2
Typical Flex Frame Application
shows a typical splice cabinet installation on a Flex Frame loaded with 2RU EHD or CHD
panels. In this example, three 1728-fiber facility cables are broken out into six 288-fiber sub-
units, which are spliced to six 288-fiber panel stubs from six 2RU panels.
Figure 2. 2RU Flex Frame Application Example
Other features to observe in this sample Flex Frame 2RU application are:
•
Panel stubs
-- from 2RU panels each contain a stack of twenty-four 12-fiber rollable rib-
bons protected by mesh tubing (24x12=288). (Alternatively, as noted above, panel stubs
from 4RU panels each contain forty-eight 12-fiber ribbons (48x12=576).)
•
Facility cables
-- have a total fiber count divisible into sub-units appropriate for the
application. Typically, the sub-unit is 288 fibers, but other configurations are possible,
Note:
An alternative Flex Frame application employs 4RU panels. In a 4RU configuration, the
panel stubs each contain 576 fibers, and each stub is routed through a single entry port
to two splice trays.
