Chapter 2: Applications
This section covers fundamental cross-connection and interconnection techniques using Telect’s
LCX Fiber Panels.
NOTE:
Stranded or ribbon fiber should always enter or leave LCX panels in tied-down tubes,
sheathed cable, or flex tubing.
2.1 Interconnecting IFC to Network Elements
Figure 25 shows a simple interconnection scheme where OSP is spliced at a vault to IFC plenum
or a riser cable, which is then spliced at an LCX Fiber Splice Panel to the network elements.
2.2 Interconnecting Network Elements
In Figure 26, fiber from one set of network elements is interconnected to a second set.
