3  LTX Patch and Splice Panel Installation and Routing

3.1  LTX Panel Component Installation

3.1.1   Install Entry/Exit Arcs

Refer to 

Figure 3-1

 for this procedure.

At the front of the LTX panel, four entry/exit split arcs protect top and 
bottom corners where fi ber jumpers enter the panel.  At the rear of 
the panel, longer entry/exit split arcs protect top and bottom corners 
where IF cables enter the LTX panel. Arcs can be removed if needed 
to accommodate other LTX panel attachments.

At each corner of the LTX panel

1. 

Position the center groove of the entry/exit arc in front of the 
metal edge on the LTX panel.

2. 

Slide the entry/exit arc onto the corner entryway. 

 

NOTE:  The longer arcs install in the rear of the panel. 

Figure 3-1 - Entry/Exit Arc Installation

If not already installed, install LTX panel components prior to installing cabling and fi bers, or mounting the panel to a rack.

LTX panel components include entry/exit arcs, splice tray platform with routing spools, velcro banding, and stacked splice trays, one or two 
cable clamp brackets with cable clamps, front and rear doors, designation cards for front and rear of the panel, and an adapter patch plate 
panel with connectors and adapters.

3.1.2   Install Routing Spools

Refer to 

Figure 3-2

 for this procedure.

Routing spools install on the tray platform before the platform is 
installed in the LTX panel.

Routing spools protect centrally located splice trays and route IF 
cables in the rear of the LTX panel through the slack storage area. 

1. 

On the tray platform, locate the four routing spool screw holes.

2. 

Position routing spools on the tray platform so that screw holes 
align. For correct alignment, the routing spool overhang should 
face toward the outside of the platform.

3. 

Insert a screw from the bottom of the tray platform up and into 
the screw hole of each routing spool and hand tighten.

4. 

Adjust routing spool positions to best accommodate cable 
routing and tighten screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
