Installing Pigtail Adapter Pack Assemblies and Splice Trays
This section describes how to install pigtail adapter pack assemblies and splice trays in an
empty panel or as an addition in a termination/splice panel where some of the adapter pack
positions were left vacant at installation.
The 1RU panel accepts up to two adapter packs pigtail assemblies. The 2RU panel accepts up to
four assemblies. Either stranded or ribbon pigtails may be installed. The illustrations in this
section show stranded pigtails.
Use the following procedure.
1. If splice trays are present in the panel, remove them and set them aside to be re-installed in
a subsequent step of this procedure.
2. Install the pigtail adapter packs as follows:
Note: “Left” and “right” directions here are as viewed from the rear of the panel.
Note: As a rule of thumb, begin with the lowest number positions in the adapter bulkhead
and route to the lowest splice tray in the stack; however, when splicing ribbon adapter
packs, not all of the splice trays will be required and the lowest splice tray can be used for
slack, if desired. Pigtails from the right side of the adapter bulkhead should be routed
around to the left in a counterclockwise direction, pigtails from the left side of the adapter
bulkhead should be routed around to the right in a clockwise direction.
