WARNING: UNMATED CONNECTORS MAY EMIT INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE END OF THE CONNECTOR. DO NOT INSPECT WITH MAGNIFYING DEVICES. MAINTAIN DUST CAPS ON UNMATED CONNECTORS.

CAUTION:

Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the manufacturer’s cable specification sheet for the specific cable in use. Follow TIA/EIA-568-A, 569, 606, and 607 installation guidelines where applicable. Care should be taken when opening or closing a fully loaded drawer in order to protect the fiber components.

Rack Mounting

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If RU space is open above patch panel location, partially install two screws, one on each side of the rack. These partially installed screws will assist in mounting the patch panel to the rack.

• For all patch panels pre-install two screws in the

FS128B

bottom hole location of the rack position desired.

If RU space is not do not pre-install screws. Place patch panel into position and secure with a minimum of four screws.

For the pre-installed screws mounting method, place patch panel into rack and allow patch panel mounting brackets to rest on the partially installed screws.

Install the remaining screws and tighten all to secure the enclosure. Use a minimum of four screws.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

First, attach trunk cabling to the rear port of the cassette or FAP to be installed. Note the polarity label on the cassette and orient properly as needed. Cassettes should be installed one at a time starting with the bottom most slot on the right, as shown. To install cassettes, insert into slot and push forward until it snaps into place.

Populate the entire row across from right to left before moving to the next row above. Repeat process until all desired slots are filled.

Cassettes can be removed from the front of the patch panel as needed for replacement or migration. Disconnect patch cords from the front of the cassette. Press latch away from the module and pull the module forward. Once the module is pulled past the latch the module can be completely removed.

Disconnect trunk cable from the rear of the cassette and connect it to the rear of the replacement cassette. Re-install cassette or MPO FAP opposite the way it was removed. Align the rear of the cassette or MPO FAP in the opening and push inward until the cassette snaps into place. Re-attach patch cords (for cassette changes).

If migrating to an MPO FAP, connect the MPO trunk cable to the left most position, port 1.

Installing Additional MPO Trunks

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

From the rear of the patch panel, select the FAP to add additional MPO trunk cables to. Insert the MPO connector into the rear of the FAP diagonally between the posts (Step 1 in Figure 8). Push connector in until the rear of the boot just passes the rear post and lift the cable over the post to “hold” the connector in place (Step 2 in Figure 8).

Move to the front of the patch panel and pull out the FAP with the “held” MPO trunk cable. Remove the dust cap and connect the MPO to the appropriate port on the FAP.

FAP can accommodate “holding” up to 3 MPO connectors at a time. Follow the steps in Figure 9.

Once all connectors are held in place, move to the front of the patch panel and pull out the FAP. Remove dust caps and attach the MPO connectors to the appropriate ports (Step 6 in figure 9).

Select the rail to be removed. Pull up on the rail to be removed by gripping the end of the latch.

While continuing to apply upward pressure on the rail being removed, pull the rail forward. As the rail begins to move it will disengage from the tray and be free to remove completely.

FS128B

To install rail onto tray, align rail between triangular cutouts and reverse the removal process. The posts on the bottom of the rail will drop into the cutouts in the tray. As the rail is pushed toward the back of the tray, the posts will engage the tray. Once the rail is fully re-inserted the front of the rail will snap into position. Pull forward on the rail to ensure it is properly installed.

Optional Trunk Slack Plate Installation (sold separately)

The trunk slack plate and short rear cable manager (sold separately as Panduit part no. FLEX-PLATE1U, FLEX-PLATE2U; FLEX-PLATE4U, FLEX-RCM1U, FLEX-RCM2U & FLEX-RCM4U) installs to the rear of the patch panel. Engage the pins on the plate into the slots on the patch panel and tilt down into place. Tighten captive screws to secure.

The trunk slack plate includes an optional vertical divider to aid in organizing and managing the cables. Divider plates are recommended for split routing. Do not use the divider if routing all rear cables to one side of the rack.

Optional Patch Panel Rear Cover Installation (FLEX-PLATE1UPR*, FLEX-PLATE2UPR*, FLEX-PLATE4UPR*)

The patch panel rear cover kits (FLEX-PLATE*UPR* will include 3 pieces:

1. Patch Panel Trunk Plate Compatible with Rear Covers

The patch panel trunk plate compatible with rear covers have multiple features which differentiate it from the trunk slack management sold in FLEX-PLATE*U and are explained below:

• Overall length is shorter (3 rows of square Tak-Ty slots, rather than 4)

• Holes located on flanges to accept grommets and fasten rear cover to trunk slack plate

• Slot added to trunk Plate to be used as an extra Tak-Ty slot for holding down cable exiting the patch panel.

The rear cover will sit on the back waterfall feature on the trunk slack management plate when properly installed. Instead of using a tie down point with the Tak-Ty wrapped around the back waterfall of the trunk slack plate, use the extra slot to create a tie down point and properly route the cables off the slack management plate.

2. Rear Cover (1RU, 2RU, and 4RU options for FLEX-PLATE1UPR*, FLEX-PLATE2UPR*, and FLEX-PLATE4UPR*

The HD Flex Front Cable Manager is an optional accessory for use with the HD Flex Patch Panel. The front managers include:

• #12-24 x 1/2" screws (quantity 4)

• M6 x 1.0 x 15mm screws (quantity 4)

• Bend Radius Clips (quantity varies by model): 4RU - 8 clips, 2RU - 4 clips, 1 RU - 2 clips

• 1 Roll of Tak-Ty

• Laser warning labels

Installation on equipment rail:

Figure 29

After installing the HD FLex Patch Panel to the equipment rails (using four screws for 2RU and 4RU variants and two screws for the 1RU variant), the two screws in the very bottom openings need to be partially threaded in and the two screws in top holes are to be tightened completely (see Figure 30, 4RU variant shown). Only the partially threaded bottom screws are to be used for the 1RU variety.

Rest the HD Flex Front Manager on the two bottom screws, then secure with two more screws (as illustrated in Figure 31). The two bottom screws can then be tightened.

To open the door, hold down the door latches and swing door open.

The patch cords may be routed, through the bend radius clips, to both sides (recommended) and secured with Tak-Ty. (See Figure 35.) The cable support bracket may be removed to improve access. To remove the cable support bracket, pull up on the front of the bracket (1), then slide the bracket out, toward the front of the unit (2). (See Figure 36.)

Labeling

Labeling options for the HD Flex Front Cable Managers allow for identification to follow the EIA 606-B labeling standards. Panduit labels, used in conjunction with Panduit Easy-Mark Labeling Software, simplifies label creation and allows for ease of editing and label replacement when necessary. The labeling location in the upper right corner of the front cable manager door, as shown in Figure 38, is used for identifying the front cable manager within the cabinet or rack. Panduit label part #C125X030FJJ fits in this area.

Panduit Part #C125X030FJJ

Figure 38

The labeling layout for the 1U front cable manager is shown in Figure 39 below. The layout for the 4RU is identical but contains twelve (12) trays instead of three (3). Panduit label part# C061X030FJJ can be used for single port identification, Panduit label part# C379X030FJJ for 6-port identification, or Panduit label part# C252X030FJJ can be used for 4-port identification.
