Adapter Panels
The MTP adapter panel comes in con
gurations to support both single-mode (SM ) and multim ode (M M )
applications. Adapters have been clearly labelled identifying port (1, 2, 3, etc.). Each tray w ithin the housing w ill
support a maximum of six MTP panels.
Adapter panels may be installed from the front or back of the EDGE8™ housing. During the initial installation,
it is recommended to install all panels and all trunk cables into the panels from the rear of the housing. Install
panels and trunk cables tray by t ray, starting w it h Tray 1, slot A. Additional panels and trunks should be installed
w ith the same recommendations always working from right to left and bottom to top as seen from the rear of
t he housing.
CAUTION:
Previously inst alled panels that were not fully populat ed during t he init ial inst allat ion and
have a harness, jumper, or trunk connected on the front side of the MTP adapter panel w ill require
slack from the front in order to be removed from the rear of the housing and inst all additional trunks.
Installer MUST obtain slack in the
bre connected to the panels on the front side. Without slack,
tension in the jumpers w ill result in pulling on
bre legs w ith potentially disrupted service, speci
cally
if disconnect is required.
