ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual describes and provides operating instructions for the LGX-Compatible (LSX) 288Position Termination With Splicing panel, for the sake of brevity also called the “LSX-288 termination with splicing panel.”

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 will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

ADCP-93-103 • Issue 3 • November 2016

Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe 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 will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.

Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when moving or installing the cabinet. Verify that the maximum lift weight rating of the equipment is sufficient to handle the weight of the cabinet.

Danger: Do not stand under a cabin et as it is being hoisted into position for mounting. A failure of the lifting equipment or apparatus could result in serious personal injury.

Warning: Before digging, check with all local utilities for the presence of buried cables or pipes. Contact with underground cables or pipes, especially electric power cables and gas service lines, could interrupt local utility service and cause serious personal injury and extensive property damage.

1 DESCRIPTION

This section describes the LSX 288-position termination with splicing panel. Topics include general description, product function, main components, and dimension s and specifications

1.1 General Description

The LSX 288-position termination with splicing panel, shown in Figure 1, is a 23-inch rackmount, LGX-compatible panel that provides a splici optic cables and a termination bulkhead for fiber optic patch cords.

ng transition between one or more fiber

This panel has a 15-inch depth permitting splice trays to be mounted in its back compartment. The rear door swings down and locks in an open position to provide a horizontal working surface for installing splices. The panel is designed to be mounted on an LSX 18-inch deep high-density frame.

In a typical application, the pa

nel serves as a splicing and di stribution point to transition from Outside Plant (OSP) or Intra Facility Cable (IFC) to inbuilding circuits connected to with patch cords. The panel is shipped with pre-terminated, factory-installed pigtails, either of ribbon or stranded construction. The panel may be used in either an interconnect or cross-connect configuration, and in either single mode or multimode applications.

The panel is 11 inches (27.9 cm) high. Five panels fit on a standard 7 foot (2.1 m) frame.

1.2 Product Function

Figure 2 summarizes the functional components of the LSX panel. As shown, an OSP or IFC

cable is routed through the panel to the splice area spliced to internal ribbon pigtails. The 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.
