4.1 Installation Considerations
ALERT! Only qualified technicians may install and maintain this product.
ALERT! Do not stand on utility or fiber cable troughs at the base of ADFs.
4.1.1 Pre-Cabled vs. Uncabled ADF Modules
The modules can be ordered with or without pre-cabled breakout areas:
•
If intrafacility cable (IFC) modules are ordered with multi-fiber cabling, then either the module will be
pre-cabled or, if the cabling is too long or bulky, the module and cabling will be packed in separate
containers for installation by the user. If the module is pre-cabled, the 900 µm cables from the clamped
multi-fiber cable at the rear of the module are fed through the breakout area to the far side of the
adapters in the trays.
• If network element (NE) modules are ordered with patch cords, network element cabling, the cables will
be packaged separately from the module for installation by the user.
4.1.2 Tools & Equipment Required
Phillips #2 and #3 screwdrivers (for cross-recessed screws).
4.2 Inspection
Chapter 4: Module Installation

module to Telect.
If the shipping container is damaged, keep it for the carrier’s inspection. Notify the carrier and call Telect at

4.3 Unpacking an ADF Module
NOTE:
A “typical” ADF module and container without cabling is approximately 7 in. x 10 in. x 22 5/8 in.
(179 mm x 250 mm x 576 mm) and weighs about 20 lbs. (9 kg). An ADF module with an indefinite amount of
cable length and fiber count can weigh much more.
