1 PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
This section introduces the Two-Rack Unit (2RU) Fiber Management Tray (FMT).
1.1 General Description
The Two-Rack Unit (2RU) Fiber Management Tray (FMT) is a rack-mount fiber optic panel
consisting of a basic chassis with a slide-out drawer and a drop-in plate (DIP) installed inside
the drawer to provide various functions such as cable termination. The basic chassis is the same
for all models of the 2RU FMT. The drop-in plate, which is installed in the factory, depends on
customer order. Figure 1 shows a 2RU FMT with a drop-in plate providing a micro-VAM
splitter function.
The 2RU FMT is available with the following rack-mount options:
• EIA or WECO, 19-inch (48.26 cm);
• EIA or WECO, 23-inch (58.42 cm);
• ETSI, 20.28 inch (51.51 cm);
• All rack-mount options (EIA, WECO, or ETSI) provide the following recess options: 2.2inch (5.59 cm), 5-inch (12.70 cm), 6-inch (15.24 cm), or 40 mm (1.6 inch).

1.2 Configurations and Components
The 2RU FMT is currently available in a variety of DIP configurations, with more being
developed based on customer requests. The configurations available as of this printing of this
manual are:
• Termination (FMT-GRT, universal entry);
• Termination (FMT-GN7, left entry for Intrafacility Fiber Cable);
• Micro-VAMs (FMT-GVM, universal entry);
• 48-position termination/splice (FMT-GTL, left side splice, right side termination).
• Bulk storage (FMT-GBS, universal entry).

Figure 7 shows the Bulkhead Storage model. This model stores 150 1.6mm patch cords (with
two meters stored per patch cord). Patch cords can enter from top or bottom, left or right side.
1.3 Attenuators
Attenuators (optional) decrease the optical power in a fiber by a specific or adjustable amount.
Once the desired level of attenuation is determined, fixed attenuators may be inserted in the
fiber optic line to deliver a precise output. In the 48-position termination/splice (FMT-GTL)
configuration and 72-position termination configuration (FMT-GN7), attenuators may be used
on either side of the sliding adapter packs. In the 72-position termination (FMT-GRT)
configuration, attenuators may only be used on the rear (back) side of sliding adapter packs.

5. Route the cable within the tray as shown in Figure 14. Note that there are different
routings for cables being terminated at the front and rear of the adapters packs.
Danger:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optic al adapters of the adapter
packs. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be used to
verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating
adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
.
Note: Always clean and inspect connectors and adapters before mating them. For
guidelines, refer to the connector cleaning instructions, ADCP-90-159.
6. Secure the cables on the side and rear of the tray as shown in Figure 13.

7. To connect an individual cable connector to an adapter, lift up the release tab on top of the
adapter pack and slide up the adapter pack (see Figure 25 on page 2 8). Pull the dust cap
straight out from the adapter and connect the cable connector to the adapter.
6.2.2 Termination (Left Entry for IFC)
Cables routed into the tray for termination are normally pre-terminated individual cables
(simplex or duplex patch cords). Refer to the following instructions.
1. Open tray fully and lock it using the lock open latch (see Subsection 7.1 Opening the Tray).
2. Route the cable along the rack to the 2RU FMT, as shown in Figure 11 on page 14.
Note: The cable may be routed from either above or below the tray on the left side.

Danger:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optic al adapters of the adapter
packs. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be used to
verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating
adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
.
Note: Always clean and inspect connectors and adapters before mating them. For
guidelines, refer to the connector cleaning instructions, ADCP-90-159.
6. Secure the cables on the side and rear of the tray as shown in Figure 15.
