1 DESCRIPTION

The FPL Series Termination/Splice Panel documented in this manual may be any of a number of rack-mounted panels built using the same chassis style and incorporating similar features such as angled adapters and vertical cable guides. Panel configurations include the following:
Termination Only Panels—Available with 12, 24, 48, 72, or 96 termination positions.
LX.5 and LC connectors may be used with the 12, 24, 48, and 72 position panels to double the density. These panels require connectorized fibers on both sides of the termination bulkhead.
Termination and Splice Panels—Available with 12, 24, 48, 72, or 96 termination
positions. LX.5 and LC connectors may be used with the 12, 24, 48, and 72 position panels to double the density. These panels provide a transition between bare fibers and connectorized fibers.
• High Density Termination and Splice Panel—Provides 144 termination and splice
positions in the same chassis, using standard connector types. The bulkhead on this panel is slanted inward in a “V” design to provide room for a greater number of adapters.

Figure 1. 72 Position Termination Only Panel
The features called out are as follows (from top center clockwise):
FPL Chassis—is the boxlike, solid metal frame on which the panel is built. The chassis
shown is 8.7 inches (22.1 cm) high, 16.4 inches (41.7 cm) wide, and 12.0 inches (30.5 cm) deep. This same chassis is also used for the 48 and 96 position panels, as well as for the 48, 72, and 96 position termination and splice panels. Shorter-height chassis are used for the 12 and 24 position panels and a deeper chassis is used for the 144 position high density panel. For details, refer to Table 1 on Page 8.
Adjustable Mounting Bracket—(one on each side) can be oriented to provide either 19-
inch or 23-inch WECO or EIA rack mounting with either a 4-inch or 5-inch recess. The panel is shipped with the mounting brackets positioned for installation in a 19-inch rack with a 5-inch recess.
Cable Clamp Assembly—is a kit used to clamp a cable to the panel. Two cable clamp
assemblies are provided with every FPL panel. Each clamp can accommodate a maximum cable diameter of 0.80 inch (2.03 cm). A grounding lug is included with each cable clamp for use if needed.

Page 3
ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
Cable Clamp Cover—protects cable at entry to the panel (not present on 12 and 24
position panels).
Vertical Cable Guide—(one on each side) is a metal cable retainer designed to provide
cable management by confining and directing patch cords to and from the panel and along the frame on which the panel is installed.
Patch Cord Designation Card—is a laminated card fastened to the inside of the panel
front door. The designation card is used to record the near-end and far-end termination locations of each patch cord installed on the panel.
Optional Lock Mount—provides ability to lock front door.
Removable Front Door—protects the termination bulkhead and can be removed to
provide access to the bulkhead for connecting patch cords.
Termination Bulkhead—provides a location for connecting patch cords. The bulkhead
shown has 72 holes for 72 adapters. Other bulkheads for the chassis size shown provide 48 or 96 locations for mounting connectors.
Angled Adapters—are pass-through receptacles for connectors. They are angled to either
left or right to hold terminated fibers at an angle with respect to the bulkhead. The purpose of the angle is prevent fiber bend.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the 48 and 96 position panels, respectively. Figure 4 shows the three
rack unit 24 position panel. Figure 5 shows the one rack unit 12/24 position panel.

Figure 6. FPL Termination and Splice Panel
ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
The front side of the 72 position termination and splice panel is identical to the termination only panel shown in Figure 1. In general, the termination components of any FPL termination and splice panel are identical to the termination components of the panel’s termination and splice panel counterpart. Only the splice components are different.
Figure 6 on the preceding page shows the typical components unique to the splice function of a
termination and splice panel. They are as follows (from left to right in the figure):
Splice Area—is a protected chamber within the chassis intended for splice trays. In
termination only panels, this area can be used for cable storage.
Internal Pigtail—is a factory-installed fiber optic cable with a connector at one end and a
bare fiber on the other end. The connector end of the pigtail is terminated on the rear side of the termination bulkhead. The bare end of the pigtail is available for splicing to a bare fiber at the customer site. The cable from which the bare fibers are broken out for splicing may be either Outside Plant (OSP) or Intra Facility Cable (IFC).
Splice Tray—is a tray installed in the splice area. Each tray holds one or more splice chips
of a selected type.
Removable Rear Access Door—provides access to the splice area.
Figure 7 shows the 144 position high density termination and splice panel. Additional features
called out here are the split termination bulkhead, which provides the room required for the greater number of adapters, and the splice area access door, which opens into a locked horizontal position to serve as a splice deck.
