Product Purpose and Description
The VirtualEdge (VE) VE-2848C-K6 is a combination panel
used at the CPE point of demarcation. Signals enter the rear of
the panel via two, 32-pair, female, Amphenol connectors and
pass through to the 28 RJ48C jacks via an internal PCB. Lo-
cated on the left front side of the VE-2848C-K6 is a detachable
LGX*-type panel with 6 Keystone-type empty hole ports or
positions; the exact coupler type and type of service terminated
is determined per company practice and application. Different
types of couplers can be combined or mixed within the
VE-2848C-K6 panel, for flexible configurations and applica-
tions. A circuit identification (ID) card is provided inside a
clear plastic packet, which allows installers to label each cou-
pler and jack position. The VE-2848C-K6 comes equipped
with the components shown in Table 1. Optional features in-
clude couplers, D-rings (Figure 10), and a front tray (Figure 9)
for additional cable management at the front of the
VE-2848C-K6.

Product Mounting
The panels can be rack or wall mounted using the included re-
versible mounting ears (included in the bag of parts). These
ears allow flush or projected positions in both 19" and 23" stan-
dard EIA relay racks, or they can be flipped and repositioned
at the back of the panel for wall-mounting. See Part 2 and
Figure 3 for more detailed mounting information.

Applications
To enable a greater variety of service and interface offerings,
service providers are putting more fiber into customer prem-
ises, either with Fiber-to-the-Premise or placing more fiber
multiplexers and IP aggregation devices closer to subscribers.
In business markets, the strong demand for Transparent LAN
