MPO Trunk Cable Installation MPO to LC Blade
When using trunk cables the fiber breakout is normally secured to the rack above or below the
chassis. A grommet fitting secures the cables at the chassis entry point. From the grommet, the
optical fibers are routed to the adapters at the front of the blade. Use the following procedure to
install the cable:
1. Locate the cable entry location that is specified for cable installation.
2. Route cables to chassis securing cables and breakout to rack per local practices.
3. Assemble grommets and cable clamps on fiber cables as shown in
Figure 18
.
4. Cable clamps and several grommets are provided with the cable clamp kit for securing
cables to the chassis. More than one grommet may be needed to secure cables in the clamp.
Figure 18. Cable Clamp Installation
5. Connect cables to the back of the adapters:
6. Remove dust cap, inspect, and clean MPO connector per ADCP-96-150 instructions
before terminating.
Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends. Non bend-
optimized fibers may be permanently damaged if bent/curved to a radius of less than 1.5 in.
