Label Installation Fiber Routing and Installation
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the fibers in the OT
shelves.
(Continued on next page)
Step Action
1 Fibers are to enter and exit from the side of the shelf that the OTU is
located. For OTUs located left of center, the fiber should be routed to the
left. For OTUs located right of center, the fiber should be routed to the
right.
2 Run fibers into split polyethylene tubes provided in the OT installation kit.
Using cable ties to fasten them, run the tubes to the side of cabinet/frame
in the space between the shelves and the frame. For cabinet installations,
if exiting at the top of cabinet run tubing through innermost rectangular
hole at top of cabinet. See Figure 6-21. For raised floor applications run
the tube out through the bottom of the cabinet, exiting through large holes
in cabinet frame.
3 While routing fibers, do not remove protective covers at end of connector.
4 Before routing fibers, verify which OTU locations are to be used for the
initial installation. Install fibers only at slot locations that are to be used for
this installation.
5 To determine the approximate length of fiber required from the bottom of
the shelf to the OTU input and OTU output, slide an OTU circuit pack into
a shelf without seating it and use it as gauge to determine fiber length.
After determining the lengths for the input and output, remove OTU circuit
pack.
