Installing RapidNet MTP fibre is a straight forward process, the following guide lines are to help ensure a successful installation.
Before starting the installation consider and check the following:
1. Make sure that the work area is clean, free from dust and tidy; failure to do so may result in unexpected performance or testing issues.
2. Check the parts are all present and that they are as expected. This should include panels, cassettes and cables. At this time also check that all
dust caps are securely in place.
3. If using Nylon or plastic cable ties to secure the cables make sure that when installing these are not over tightened or over filled as this
can cause micro bending which will effect performance. It is recommended that hook and eye ties such as Velcro are used to prevent this
occurrence.
Tools required for installation of RapidNet MTP fibre
4. A suitable screwdriver, for installing the panels, this can be either a flat blade or correctly sized cross head
5. Dry fibre cleaning materials.
6. A suitable cable tester and testing heads.
As standard these are supplied with RackSnaps. Make sure the panel is the correct way up (writing on the mounting ears is readable).
Ensure that the panel is level and in the correct location. Push the RackSnaps through the panel mounting holes and lightly tighten the screws on
the front. Do not completely tighten these at this stage as this will allow positional adjustment as the number of panels installed increases. Only
tighten fully when all panels are in place.
