Chapter 3: LTX Patch and Splice Panel Installation and Routing
3.1 LTX Panel Component Installation
If not already installed, install LTX panel components prior to installing cabling and fibers, or mounting the
panel to a rack.
LTX panel components include entry/exit arcs, splice tray platform with routing spools, velcro banding, stacked splice
trays, one or two cable clamp brackets with cable clamps, front and rear doors, designation cards for front and rear of the
panel and an adapter patch plate panel with connectors and adapters.
3.1.1 Entry/Exit Arc Installation
Refer to
Figure 3-1
for this procedure.
The installation instructions apply to the
LTX 4RU
only
At the front of the LTX panel, four entry/exit split arcs protect
top and bottom corners where fiber jumpers enter the panel.
At the rear of the panel, entry/exit split arcs protect top and
bottom corners where IntraFacility Cables (IFC) enter the LTX
panel. Arcs can be removed if needed to accommodate other
LTX panel attachments.
At each corner of the LTX panel:
1. Position the center groove of the entry/exit arc in front of the
metal edge on the LTX panel.
2. Slide the entry/exit arc onto the corner entryway.
NOTE: The arcs install in the rear of the panel.

3.1.2 Routing Spool Installation
Figure 3-1 - Entry/Exit Arc Installation
Refer to
Figure 3-2
for this procedure.
The installation instructions apply to the
LTX 4RU
,
2RU
&
1RU
Follow these instruction incase spools are not already installed
by the manufacturer. Routing spools are installed on the tray
platform before the platform is installed in the LTX panel.
Routing spools protect centrally located splice trays and
route IFC in the rear of the LTX panel through the slack
storage area.
1. On the tray platform, locate the four routing spool
screw holes.
2. Position routing spools on the tray platform so that screw
holes align. For correct alignment, the routing spool
overhang should face toward the outside of the platform.
3. Insert a screw from the bottom of the tray platform up
and into the screw hole of each routing spool and
hand tighten.
4. Adjust routing spool positions to best accommodate cable
routing and tighten screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
