The FL2000 storage panel is available in four styles each with a unique method of fiber storage
and a wide range of capacity depending upon your needs. Cables may enter the storage panel from
the left side only via the vertical cable guide, through the fanning strip, into the storage panel.
1.1
Fiber Storage Deck Panel
The storage deck panel is available in two different storage capacities; i.e., with card slots for
either
six
or
two
fiber storage decks. The six-deck panel is 8.75 inches high, and the two-deck
module is 3.5 inches high. A six deck storage panel is shown in
Each individual storage deck within the storage deck panel has sufficient storage capacity for
either 29 meters (95 feet) of 3 mm cable or 39 meters (128 feet) of 2 mm cable, two to four cables
per tray. The storage deck is also capable of storing 900 micron cable, six-fiber bundles, IFC
subunits, and other styles of cable with varying storage capacity depending on the cable diameter.
Each storage deck has four spools for cable storage (one pair of spools for each of two cables).
Depending on the length of the cable, either a
“Figure 8”
or an
“oval”
method is used to store
the cable on two spools.
Warning:
Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that
can
cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution:
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that
will
or
can
cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Danger:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter, or into the launching (output) end of
an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating
bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous amounts
of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors and adapters.
Warning:
Never install telephone equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the network interface before
working with uninsulated lines or terminals to prevent electrical shock
