Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may
happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings,
and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the
triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that
minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

A.Functional Description
Issue 1, November 1996
ADCP-90-250
1.02
The FTD1 36-Fiber Wall Box (Figure 1) is designed to provide a wall-mounted, or rackmounted, secure, fiber cable terminal for use in small to medium-sized fiber networks and
customer premises applications. The wall box can accommodate up to four OSP cables and
contains provisions for splicing and terminating 36 singlemode fiber circuits.
1.03
The area behind the left front cover of the wall box houses three four-meter, 12-fiber,
soft wall bundle fiber cables. The connectorized ends of these cables are terminated to fiber optic
adapters in angled retainers on the bulkhead between the two sections of the wall box. The
service loops of these cables are stored on four radius limiters, and the stub ends of the cable
fibers are spliced to Outside Plant (OSP) cable fibers in heat shrink fusion splice chips in three
splice trays. Up to four OSP cables can enter from either above or below the wall box (i.e., two
from above and two from below). A Hubbell connector kit and four cable clamps are supplied
with the wall box — enough to secure one OSP cable to the wall box and provide strain relief for
four OSP cables. A rubber grommet is provided (unattached) for use as a dust cover at whichever
corner (top or bottom) is not used for cable entrance.
1.04
The area behind the right front cover of the wall box is used for terminating 3mm
singlemode patch cords to the adapters. The patch cords can enter from either above or below the
wall box. A rubber grommet is used as a dust cover at the panel opening that is not used for
patch cord entry.
B.Physical Description
1.05
The wall box is 19 inches (48.26 cm) wide, 10 inches (25.4 cm) high, and 4.76 inches
(12.1 cm) deep, and is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, painted putty white. Both hinged
front covers are equipped with pull handles and key locks. Some of the physical features of the
wall box are pointed out in Figure 2.

The wall box has four mounting holes at the corners of a rectangle that is 8.5 inches
(21.6 cm) high and 14 inches (35.6 cm) wide (see Figure 3). The rear panel has two slots for the
splice strap assembly that retains the splice trays. The left side of the wall box includes provisions
for mounting a Hubbell connector kit (supplied) and four (staggered, high and low) cable clamp
kits; also included are provisions (kits) for grounding the OSP cables to the wall box.

The splice trays are positioned on the back panel of the left side of the wall box (see
Figure 4). They are secured by a horizontal splice strap assembly, the right end of which unhooks
from the chassis. There is one radius limiter at each corner of this area.
