1 DESCRIPTION
The LSX Preterminated Termination/Splice Panel With Pigtails is an LGX style, rack-mounted
panel that provides a splicing transition between one or more fiber optic cables and a
termination bulkhead for fiber optic patch cords.

TERMINATION
In a typical application, the LSX panel serves as a splicing and distribution point to transition
from Outside Plant (OSP) or Intra Facility Cable (IFC) to inbuilding circuits connected to with
patch cords. The panel may be used in either an interconnect or cross-connect configuration,
and in either singlemode or multimode applications.
Figure 1 summarizes the functional components of the LSX termination panel. As shown, an
OSP or IFC cable is routed through the panel to the splice area access door, which serves as a
splice deck. On the splice area rear access door, located on the rear of the panel, the component
fibers are spliced to the internal pigtails. The factory-terminated internal pigtails transition to
the bulkhead, located on the front of the panel. Patch cords installed from the front side of the
panel provide the connection to fiber optic terminal equipment.

The LSX panel is shipped with pre-terminated, factory-installed ribbon or stranded pigtails. The
panel is available in five chassis heights with different numbers of termination positions, as
follows: 1.75-inch high with 12 or 24 termination positions; 3.5-inch high with 48 termination
positions; 7-inch high with 72 or 96 positions; 9-inch high with 144 positions; and 11-inch high
with 288 positions (documented in a separate manual).

Figure 2. Main External Features of 7-Inch High LSX Termination/Splice Panel (Front View)
The features shown are as follows (see Figure 2):
• LGX-Compatible Chassis—is of solid metal construction and painted white. Nine 7-inch
chassis or seven 9-inch chassis may be installed on an LGX frame.
• Bulkhead—holds the pass-through adapters that provide the physical interface between
the connector ends of internal pigtails and patch cords installed on the bulkhead.
• Adapter Pack—6-, 8-, 12- or 24-pack depending on model; mounts in the bulkhead
providing one column of adapters/connectors for terminating patch cords. Connector types
available include singlemode USC, ASC, and UFC, and multimode SC.
• Patch Cord Guides—provide cable management in routing patch cords.
• Removable Front Cover—provides unimpeded access for installation of patch cords.
• Patch Cord Designation Card—is used to record patch cord usage.
• Removable Radius Limiter—provides bend radius protection for the fibers.

The main features in the rear splice area are as follows:
• OSP or IFC Cable Clamp—secures cable to chassis.
• Kurley Locks—route and secure cable fibers and internal pigtails.
• Splice Storage Spools—provides service loop storage for cable fibers and pigtails.
• Mass Fusion Splice Chip—splices 24 fiber/pigtail interfaces.
• Splice Area Access Door—folds down providing a horizontal splice deck.
• Cable Ring—routes and secures cable on entry into splice area.
• Ribbon Fanout Bracket—holds one stack of four ribbon fanout chips (if ribbon rather
than stranded pigtails are present).
• Wing Nut—secures the cover (next item) to hold it in place.
• Cover—protects splices once completed.
Each panel is shipped with a cable clamp.

date.
5 INSTALLATION
ADCP-93-095 • Rev B • April 2018
The main steps in installing an LSX panel are:
• Mounting the panel on the frame,
• Breaking out the cable to be spliced within the panel,
• Installing the cable on the outside of the panel, and
• Routing the cable within the panel from the cable clamp to the splice deck.
For instructions, refer to the following subsections.
5.1 Installing the Combination Module
Note: Because of its extra depth due to its rear splice area, the LSX panel should be
installed on an LGX fiber distribution frame with a depth of at least 15 inches (38.1 cm).
Install the panel from the front side of the rack, using the following procedure. Refer to
Figure 7.
