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 4
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.

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.

4 APPLICATION

The FPL Series Termination/Splice Panel is designed for use in central offices, remote offices, and in local area networks (LANs) that use a fiber optic cable system. The panel provides a common point for performing any of the following functions:
• Terminating OSP or IFC cables
• Terminating Fiber Optic Terminal (FOT) equipment patch cords
• Storing excess FOT equipment patch cord length
• Connecting FOT equipment with OSP cables
• Mounting and protecting splices
When used with OSP cable, the FPL panel may be used for either interconnect or cross-connect applications. Figure 12 and Figure 13 provide a pictorial comparison of these two types of applications. As shown, in both interconnect and cross-connect applications, the OSP cable is terminated on the rear side of the panel and spliced to the internal pigtails within the panel. Also, in both applications, the pigtails are connected to the rear side of the adapters on the termination bulkhead. The applications differ in what occurs on the front side of the panel.
ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
• In an interconnect application, shown in Figure 12, patch cords from the FOT equipment are connected directly to fibers spliced and terminated on the rear side of the same panel.
• In a cross-connect application, shown in Figure 13, patch cords from the FOT equipment are terminated on one panel and the fibers are spliced and terminated on a second panel, with cross-connect patch cords providing links between the two panels. This two-panel arrangement provides more flexibility in testing and patching optical circuits than is provided by a single panel arrangement.

5.1 Installing Adapters

FPL panels are usually shipped with adapters already installed; however, in some case, you may need to install adapters. The exact procedure to be used depends on the adapter type. Figure 14 shows an example. For specific instructions, refer to the installation drawing that came with the adapters.
Note: To avoid getting dirt into the adapter, leave the dust covers in place on the adapters when mounting them on the retainers. If dirt does enter the adapter, use the ADC Fiber Connector/Adapter Cleaning Kit (sold separately) to clean the adapter. Follow the cleaning instructions provided with the kit.

5.2 Installing Pigtails

Pigtails may be installed in any FPL panel (including termination only panels) to utilize the rear area of the panel for splicing. Pigtails are installed with the connectorized end connected to the adapters on the rear side of the termination panel and with the bare fiber ends positioned within a splice tray (for an illustration, see Figure 6 on Page 6). 3m pigtails are used with the excess slack coiled within the chassis to provide a service loop for future use if needed.

ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
The panel can be mounted in either a 19- or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack 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. For other mounting configurations, the brackets must be removed and reinstalled in a different orientation.
Use the following procedure to mount the panel on the rack:
1. If installing the FPL panel in a 23-inch equipment rack, or if changing from a 5-inch to a 4-inch recess:
a. Remove the screws that secure each mounting bracket to the sides of the chassis and
then remove each bracket from the chassis.
b. Orient each bracket for the required mounting position as shown in Figure 20.
c. Refasten the mounting brackets to the chassis using the original mounting screws.

Cable installation should occur after the panel is mounted in the equipment rack, as described in
Section 5.3. Installation consists of routing the cable to the panel, stripping back the outside
sheath of the cable to expose the optical fibers, installing a cable clamp to secure the cable to the panel, and routing the fibers to the splice tray. The cable must also be grounded if it has a metallic sheath or metallic strength member.
The cable clamp used in cable installation is shipped with the panel. Two clamps are provided since two cables may be installed on a single panel if desired. Each clamp can accommodate one cable with an outside diameter of 0.4 to 0.8 inches (1.02 to 2.03 cm).

Page 19
Page 20
ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
Typically, only one cable is installed per panel. The cable clamp can be installed on either side. A grounding lug is included with each clamp for grounding OSP cables that have metallic strength members or metallic sheaths.
Allow a fiber service loop of at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) when stripping the sheath off the cable. This will provide sufficient length for routing the buffer tubes within the FPL panel and for splicing. After entry, the buffer tubes are routed to the splice tray. The splice tray mounts on the bottom of the FPL panel.
Use the following procedure to secure the OSP cable at the fiber entry point and to route the optical fibers into the FPL panel:
1. Route the OSP cable to the selected entry opening at the side of the FPL panel.
Note: Cables may enter the FPL panel from either the top or bottom and may be clamped to either the left or right side
2. Strip back the cable sheath approximately 96 inches (2.5 meters) to expose the optical fibers. Follow the cable manufacturer’s recommendations when stripping the sheath.
Note: If the cable is filled with water blocking compound, the cable end must be sealed to prevent leakage. A blocking kit (accessory item) is required for sealing the cable end. Install the kit according to the instructions provided with the kit.
Note: If cable has a metallic sheath, a special connector is provided with the cable grounding kit (accessory item FIP-ACC-GK) for grounding the sheath. Refer to Appendix A for the installation procedures for ScotchLok 4460 Shield Connectors which are manufactured by the 3M Company.
3. Determine the correct clamp and grommet combination required to secure the cable to the panel. A rubber clamp and three grommets of various sizes are provided. Select a grommet that when placed around the cable, has a gap of nearly zero to 0.30 inches (0.76 cm). If the cable diameter is greater than 0.70 inches (1.78 cm), only the rubber clamp is required.
4. Use the rubber clamp, clamp cover, grommet (if required), and two screws to secure the cable end to the side of the FPL panel chassis, as shown in Figure 21 for a top entry cable and in Figure 22 for a bottom entry cable.
Note: The Rear Protective Plate, identified in the figures, is not used with the 24 position panel. The plate is not included in the cable clamp kit.

5.5 Splicing

If you are installing a termination and splicing panel, and have just finished installing your OSP or IFC cable, you can now proceed to the splicing procedure provided in this section. You will be doing one splice tray at a time to completion, then going on to complete the next splice tray (if the panel has more than one). For each splice tray, you will assign paired fibers and cable subunits bundles of 12, measure for correct service loop length, remove the splice tray to a working surface for splicing, and return the splice tray to the panel.
The purpose of a splice tray is to protect the splices. The splice tray mounts on the bottom of the FPL panel, within the chassis in the mid-size models and on the splice area access door in the high density model. A rubber strap is used to secure the splice tray to the bottom of the FPL panel or to the splice area access door.

ADCP-90-328 • Issue 2 • November 2005
In a typical installation, the methods and procedures that will be used for splicing are determined by local practice. Use the following procedure to organize the pigtails and buffer tubes for splicing and to store completed splices:
Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter or into the receiver end of an active fiber. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead adapter/receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid potential exposure to dangerous infrared optical radiation. The protective cover also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector.
1. Uncoil all the pigtail bundles and buffer tubes from the radius limiters within the FPL panel.
2. Group the pigtails and buffer tubes for fibers 1 - 12 into a single common bundle. Use the twist-lock retainers provided to hold the pigtail and buffer tube bundle together.
3. Group the remaining pigtails and buffer tubes into similar bundles with one bundle for each group of 12 pigtails and buffer tubes. Secure the bundles together using twist-lock retainers.
4. Identify the first splice tray and the one or two bundles to be assigned to it. For a single height tray, assign one bundle. For a dual height tray, assign two bundles.
5. Place the splice tray in its correct location in the panel and coil the one or two bundles

7. Mark each buffer tube and pigtail to indicate the attachment point to the splice tray. Make sure approximately 2 feet (61 cm) of fiber are left beyond the attachment point for splicing.
8. Remove the splice tray from the FPL panel and uncoil the bundles from the radius limiters.
9. Beginning at the points marked in step 7, remove the buffer tubes and pigtail jackets to expose the optical fibers. Clean fibers as recommended by cable manufacturer.
10. Secure the cable subunits and pigtails to the splice tray using tie wraps. The tie wraps should be tight enough to secure the pigtail jackets and cable subunits but should not pinch the fibers inside.
11. Complete each splice according to local splicing practice. Note that the numbered tag that is attached to each pigtail corresponds to the number on the bulkhead connector plate.
12. Carefully secure each completed splice to the splice chip on the inside of the splice tray.
13. When all splices are complete, place the clear plastic cover over the splice tray to protect the finished splices.
14. Coil up the bundles around the radius limiters (in the same direction as coiled in step 5) and place the splice tray on the bottom of the FPL panel.
15. Secure the splice tray(s) to the bottom of the FPL panel using the rubber strap provided. An example of a splice tray mounted in a FPL panel is shown in Figure 30.
16. Record all terminations on the front designation cards as required by local practice.
17. Repeat steps 4 through 16 for the next splice tray, if any remains. Continue until all the splice trays have been installed.

5.6 Installing FOT Patch Cords

In both interconnect and cross-connect applications, FOT equipment patch cords are installed between the FOT equipment and the FLP panel. The following sections describe the installation procedure to use based on the application.
Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter or into the receiver end of an active fiber. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead adapter/receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential exposure to dangerous infrared optical radiation. The protective cover also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector.

5.6.1 Interconnect Application

In an interconnect application, the FOT equipment patch cords are connected to the appropriate bulkhead adapters/receptacles at the OSP-dedicated FPL panel and then routed to the FOT equipment. Any excess patch cord slack must be stored at the FOT equipment or in a separate storage panel.
