Using the Storage Disk Panel
Use the following procedure to store excess patch cord length in a Storage Disk Panel:
1. Adjust patch cord slack so that excess length is accumulated at the storage panel.
2. Open panel front cover and select storage disk assembly that will be used to store the
excess patch cord length.
3. Press inward (toward back of chassis) on the inner side of each of the two snap tabs
(located on front of storage disk assembly) until each tab snaps open.
4. Slide storage disk assembly out of the chassis by pulling outward on the extended snap tabs.
Internal stops will prevent the disk assembly form sliding completely out of the chassis.
5. Find the midpoint of the excess patch cord slack and form a loop.
6. Place loop around one of the two retainers that are mounted in the center of the storage disk.
7. Route the two patch cord segments around the second retainer and out through the opening
in the edge of the disk assembly as shown in
. The routing shown for a patch
cord entering from the left side is not the same as the routing for a patch cord entering
from the right side.
Caution:
Do not kink or make a sharp bend in the patch cord when forming loop. Excessive
bending may damage the optical fiber within the patch cord
.
