6 INSTALLING A RAPID FIBER PANEL WITH EXTERNAL SPOOL
When a cable length longer than the maximum capacity of the RapidReel cable spool tray is
ordered, the excess length is coiled around an external spool that is temporarily attached to the
RapidReel cable spool tray. The product is shipped with the cable spool tray within a protective
shipping container on the external spool. The shipment also includes the empty panel shell.
Installation of a panel with an external spool involves four procedures:
• The panel shell is installed in the equipment rack or cabinet (
• The microcable is unwound from the external spool (
• The RapidReel cable spool tray is mounted within the panel shell (
)
• The remaining microcable is unwound from the RapidReel cable spool tray (
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:
When mounting multiple Rapid Fiber Panels into a rack or cabinet, be sure to
calculate the total weight of all the equipment being mounted to verify that it does not
exceed the rack or cabinet manufacturer’s maximum weight allowance. In Zone 4
Earthquake applications, exceeding the weight rating can compromise the integrity of the
rack during an earthquake.
