non-functional connectors should be routed through conduit.
Note:
After the cables have been completely unwound from the external spool, an
additional length of up to 200 feet of cable will be left on the RapidReel cable spool.

Note:
The Rapid Fiber Panel is designed to be installed in an environmentally controlled
network telecommunications facility such as a Central Office, Controlled Environmental
Vault, or Data Center. Only the I/O cable is rated for both indoor and outdoor use.
Note:
If a Rapid Fiber Panel is installed above or below a non-Rapid fiber panel, 1RU of
open space must be left between the panels. This space is required for accessing the rear
connectors if cleaning is required.
