MOUNTING THE CABINET ON A MOUNTING SLEEVE
The FMS, shown in
, is a polymer concrete sleeve that may be used to support the
cabinet at ground level. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault. Four vertical racks are
molded into the sides of the FMS to accommodate removable rungs (not provided). The rungs
provide support for splice cases or OSP cable storage.

Installation Recommendations
The site chosen for the installation must conform to all local codes and any permits required
must be obtained prior to the start of installation. The location must be accessible and provide
adequate parking for worker and vehicle safety. Situate the FMS close to the trench that was
used for routing the OSP fiber cables for the network distribution system.
The installed cabinet must not create a visual or physical obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian
traffic. Ensure that there is sufficient space on all sides to facilitate cabinet installation.
Depending on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the mounting sleeve may be
located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade.

Excavation
The excavation must be large enough to provide a fill base that will maintain stability for the
FMS and the cabinet mounted on it. There must be room for 12 inches (30.5 cm) of fill below
and on each side of the FMS. The excavation dimensions for the FMS are shown in
Excavate a rectangular hole for the FMS.
