Installation

4.1 

Rack or Frame Mounting

Step 1: 

Identify the position on the rack where the housing will be installed and partially install screws to rest 

the mounting brackets on Figure 2. 

Step 2: 

Move brackets forwards or backwards for desired frontal projection and rest the mounting brackets 

behind the screw heads just installed in the rack.

Step 3: 

Install screws into the rack through the mounting brackets.

Step 4: 

If installing a 2U or 4U housing, slide the fiber management fingers onto the housing.

NOTE: 

Installation of fiber management fingers is essential to ensure proper jumper management.

4.2 

Install Trunk Cables

The EDGE™ Trunk Cable is supplied with factory-installed protection/pulling grips (Figure 3) to protect the 

connectors and their fibers by coupling the pulling load back to the cable. The cradle is used to install the 

furcation plug into the housing.
