Mounting bracket accessory kit for 23-inch (584mm) frame
Important: Limits for iPatch shelf and panel connections:
iPatch
MPO fiber shelves are limited to a maximum number of rack units (RUs) and will not support a fully
populated rack or cabinet.
iPatch
MPO fiber shelves support 26 rows per rack/cabinet, such as configured
for (26) 1U shelves, (13) 2U shelves, (10) 2U UHD shelves, (6) 4U shelves, (5) 4U UHD shelves, or any
combination thereof.
iPatch
MPO fiber shelves are limited to a maximum number of five (5) panels per panel bus male
connector.
Start a new panel bus chain with every sixth panel in the rack system.
Important Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, read, understand, and adhere to the following
instructions as well as any warnings marked on the product.
Remote risk of electric shock. Never install the product in wet locations or during lightning storms. Never
touch uninsulated communication wires or terminals.
Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes. Never
look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and permanent retinal
damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a physician for an eye
examination.
Wear safety glasses to install the shelf. Although standard safety glasses provide no protection from
potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.
Precautions
iPatch
high density fiber modules require virtually no maintenance to maintain their performance. They
contain no user-serviceable components, and any damage to the anti-tamper label or removal of top cover
or front adapter mounting panel will void the warranty.
Fiber optic trunk cable and jumper performance is sensitive to bending, pulling, and crushing. Minimum
bend radius must be maintained during installation per the manufacturer’s specification. Appropriate pulling
socks must be used during installation, and pulling forces shall not exceed
manufacturer’s
recommendations. MPO terminated trunk cables may use ribbonized fiber optic cable, which has a
preferential bend axis. Use caution to avoid kinking trunk cables.
All wiring that connects to this equipment must meet applicable local and national building codes and
network wiring standards for communication cable.
Care should be taken not to compromise the stability of the rack by installation of this equipment.
iPatch
fiber shelves are for use in restricted access areas only.
SYSTIMAX 360
iPatch
shelves use infrared sensing technology and should be installed where they are not
exposed to direct sunlight or other infrared sources.
iPatch
high density fiber MPO adapters are equipped with protective dust caps installed in the front of all
adapters.
Prior to installation, clean the trunk cable and jumper connectors per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
