DESCRIPTION
This section provides a description of the OmniReach 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet plus
the cabinet specifications.
1.1
FDH 3000 864 Termination Cabinet
The 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet is a secure, above-ground, outdoor fiber optic
distribution cabinet that is designed to serve as a signal distribution point in Fiber To The
Premises (FTTP) optical networks. The cabinet features optical splitters that allow input signals
to be split into multiple connectorized outputs. The splitter function minimizes the number of
field splices that have to be performed when customers are added. Customers can be added in
switchboard fashion by simply repositioning connectors. The 864 termination cabinet is
designed for
pedestal-mount
applications only. A typical cabinet is shown in
.
The interior of the FDH 3000 864 termination cabinet consists of the following primary
components:
Distribution Panels:
Provide a point for connecting the splitter output fibers with the
terminated distribution cable fibers. Each panel provides mounting spaces for 72 bulkhead
adapters. The cabinet may be equipped with up to twelve distribution panels. Adapters for UPC/
SC or APC/SC style connectors are available.
Storage Panels:
Provide a temporary “parking lot” for unused splitter output fibers. Each
splitter module comes with a connector pack that mounts in the storage panel. Up to thirty-six
8-position connector packs (288 fibers total) can be mounted in the storage panels.
Radius Limiters:
Provide a place for storing excess slack from the splitter output fibers.
Splitter Compartments:
Provide a place for mounting the splitters. Will support up to forty-
eight splitters. Unused splitter slots can be used for pass-though fibers (2). The splitters
specified for use with the FDH 3000 cabinet are equipped with bend-optimized fibers.
Sliding Adapter Packs
(Input panel) – Provide a place for terminating the feeder cable fibers
when splitter modules with connectorized input fibers are used with the cabinet. Provide a place
for terminating spare feeder cable fibers when “plug and play” (PNP) splitter modules are used
with the cabinet. Spare feeder cable fibers are typically used for signal pass-through functions.
Grounding System
– Provides a point for grounding the cabinet and OSP cables.
The exterior shell of the FDH 3000 cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum and is
coated with an almond-colored finish. Each cabinet is equipped with two front and two rear
doors that provide full front access to the optical components. The cabinet doors are equipped
with a tamper-resistant latch that includes a hasp for a padlock, stainless steel hinges, and door
catches that prevent accidental closing. Access to the cabinet requires a
216B key
tool
(accessory) to release the latch handle. Lifting eyes are provided for hoisting the cabinet into
position for mounting. Each cabinet is equipped with a 6-inch ground spacer/riser to provide
additional ground clearance.
The cabinet is equipped with a left and right swing frame. Each swing frame rotates outward
from the front of the cabinet. This provides complete access to most of the components mounted
with the cabinet.
