1.2.1 ADF XIs

ADF Cross-Connect/Interconnect bays are used in either cross-connect or interconnect applications, depending on the type of module installed on the Main ADFs. Lineup access to the patch cord area on the Main ADFs is through either the bottom or upper troughs with access to/ from patch cord storage on the ISPs via the bottom trough.

Two models are available:

1. The North American model is based on a 26 in. by 24 in. Main ADF footprint. ISPs for the North

American model are 12 in. by 24 in.

2. The ETSI model is based on a 600 mm by 600 mm Main ADF footprint. ISPs for the ETSI model are 30

0 mm by 600 mm.

The following figures show a few typical cross-

connection and interconnection schemes between IFC and network element (NE) cabling. In these examples, IFC routing to the rear of the IFC ADF modules is from the facilities cable (ladder) rack with NE cabling through a cable management system (CMS).

1.2.2 ADF ICs (after Trough Removed)

ADF Interconnect (IC) bays are physically similar to but functionally quite different from the ADF XI bays.

To convert XI to IC, remove the top trough. With the top trough removed, the overhead access to the patch area of a Main and ISP ADF ICs is confined to a center drop from an overhead cable management system. Both Main and ISP ADF ICs feature an interconnected bottom trough for routing cable between the ADF IC bays.

ADF XI and IC bays can be used in the same lineup; cross-aisle connections between lineups are common applications for ADF ICs.

The following figures show a few typical interconnection schemes between IFC and network element (NE) cabling. In these examples, IFC routing to the rear of the IFC ADF modules is from the facilities ladder rack with NE cabling dropped from an overhead cable management system (CMS).

Three types of modules are available, depending on application:

1. The IntraFacility Cable (IFC) module contains a breakout area for routing standard 900 micron fiber cabling from a rear-side clamp holding the riser cable. The 900-micron fibers are routed to optical adapters in the trays.

2. The Network Element (NE) module contains raceways for routing standard 2-mm network element cabling to the adapters.

3. The Fan-Out (FO) module accommodates up to 12 different multifiber cable clamp positions.

Individual trays swing toward the inboard area of the Main ADF to simplify the cabling process. The trays contain a moveable adapter bridge that slides toward the rear when the tray is opened. The sliding bridge provides slack management as the tray opens.

Fiber cables from the breakout area or raceways are routed under a cover to

the rear side of the adapters. The patch cords connected to the front side of the adapters are routed around a spool containing a retaining flange, through a raceway, to a vertical array of cascade guides with turnstiles attached to the inboard patch area of the ADF. A door at the end of each raceway helps guide cables downward into the patch area

Chapter 4: Module Installation

4.1 Installation Considerations

ALERT! Only qualied technicians may install and maintain this product. ALERT! Do not stand on utility or ber cable troughs at the base of ADFs.

4.1.1 Pre-Cabled vs. Uncabled ADF Modules

The modules can be ordered with or without pre-cabled breakout areas:

• If intrafacility cable (IFC) modules are ordered with multi-ber cabling, then either the module will be pre-cabled or, if the cabling is too long or bulky, the module and cabling will be packed in separate containers for installation by the user. If the module is pre-cabled, the 900 µm cables from the clamped multi-ber cable at the rear of the module are fed through the breakout area to the far side of the adapters in the trays.

• If network element (NE) modules are ordered with patch cords, network element cabling, the cables will be packaged separately from the module for installation by the user.

4.1.2 Tools & Equipment Required

Phillips #2 and #3 screwdrivers (for cross-recessed screws).

4.2 Inspection

Telect is not liable for shipping damage.

If the shipping container is damaged, keep it for the carrier’s inspection. Notify the carrier and call Telect at 509-926-6000.

4.3 Unpacking an ADF Module

NOTE: A “typical” ADF module and container without cabling is approximately 7 in. x 10 in. x 22 5/8 in.

(179 mm x 250 mm x 576 mm) and weighs about 20 lbs. (9 kg). An ADF module with an indenite amount of cable length and ber count can weigh much more.

1.509.926.6000 :: telect.com

Page 46

Advanced Distribution Frame (ADF) Systems

User Manual

The container for the ADF module without cabling contains the following:

• Pre-assembled ADF module with installation tray cover

• M6 screws for securing the module to the Main ADF

• ADF Module Installation Sheet

If necessary, use a forklift to move a pre-cabled ADF module to installation site. Open the container and check the contents against the packing list.

4.4 Installing an ADF Module to a Main ADF

The Main ADF contains a set of keyways and M6 threaded holes to receive and secure each module. The

modules contain guide pins on the side that t these keyways; M6 screws are provided to secure the module to

the ADF.

Telect recommends the following:

• Use two people to route cable and secure the module to the ADF.

• Begin installing modules in the position farthest from the incoming cable direction. If incoming cable comes from above, begin installing modules from the bottom and then progress upward. If incoming cable comes from below, begin installing modules from the top and then progress downward.

• Place an installation cover on the top tray of the module below the one being installed. The cover will prevent damage to the tray and its cabling when installing the next module above it. If desired, the installation cover can remain in place after installation.

To install ADF modules on a Main ADF, proceed as follows:

1. If the module is pre-cabled:

a. Move the spool and module to the front of the ADF. b. Unstrap the module from the spool. c. Pull the free end of the intrafacility cable from the reel and direct it up (or down) through the cable

management guides on the rear of the ADF. Route the full reel of cable to its termination point before mounting the ADF module to the frame.

NOTE: As shipped from the factory, module trays have been rotated (pivoted “inward” on their bracket) to make installation easier. For a right-side tray module, all trays should be pivoted clockwise in relationship to a top-down view of the module. For a left-side tray module, all trays should be pivoted counter-clockwise.

2. Refer to Figure 36 on the following page and proceed as follows:

a. Make sure the trays on the module are pivoted inward about 15° during the following step. b. Slip guide pins on the side of the module into the keyways on the ADF Frame, then close and latch the

trays on the latch bar.

NOTE: Latch bar adjustment may be necessary only during installation of the rst module (with trays) in a quadrant. After the rst module with trays is in place, all subsequent modules installed in that quadrant will

align automatically.

a. Make sure all trays are rotated out, away from the latch bar. b. Loosen the six adjustment screws that hold that latch bar — there are four latch bars, one per quadrant per Main ADF — to the frame extender. See Figure 37, following:

Chapter 5: Outboard Cabling

WARNING! Fiber cables transmit invisible infrared light. To avoid eye damage or blindness,

never look directly into bers or connectors.

ALERT! Do not stand on utility or ber cable troughs at the base of ADFs.

Outboard cabling deals with installing intrafacility and network element cabling at the rear of the ADF module

– near the rear corners of Main ADF bay. Interconnection and cross-connection via patch cords is done in the

interior area of Main ADF bays, between the right- and left-side ADF modules.

Outboard cabling is covered in detail in the manual accompanying the modules (Telect Part Number 137828, Module Installation and Fiber Routing Guide). The outboard cabling instructions in this section apply in general to all intrafacility cable (IFC) and network element (NE) modules.

5.1 Intrafacility Cable to Uncabled IFC Module

The intrafacility cable must have at least 37 in. (940 mm) of exposed, connected, 900-µm strands beyond the jacketed intrafacility cable.

To connect intrafacility cable to an IFC module, refer to Figures 38 and 39, and proceed as follows:

1. At the rear of the IFC module, attach the jacketed end of the riser cable to the clamp located at the rear of the module.

2. Pull the plunger to release and remove the cover from the breakout area.

Chapter 6: Inboard Cabling

Advanced Distribution Frame (ADF) Systems

Inboard cabling involves interconnecting riser cables to network elements using patch cords on the inboard side of ADF modules, and cross-connecting network element cables using patch cords on the inboard side of ADF modules.

WARNING

WARNING! Fiber cables transmit invisible infrared light. To avoid eye damage or blind- ness, never look directly into fibers or connectors.

ALERT

ALERT! Do not stand on utility or fiber cable troughs at the base of ADFs.

6.1 Installing Inboard Cabling

In the following procedure, two important points need to be emphasized:

1. ALWAYS make end connections first and then route cable in troughs, around spools, etc., between those terminations. With Telect’s ADF, there is no need to fish cables before making termination connections.

2. ALWAYS route cables very loosely. Leave plenty of slack, especially at or near transition and same-side spools. As more and more cables are added to a cabling scenario, the newly routed cables tend to weigh down the previously routed cables, with the tendency to pull down on the vertical cable runs on both sides of the spools.

Proceed as follows to install interconnect or cross-connect cabling:

Procedure steps:

1. Work with one network element (NE) cable or patch cord at a time. Prepare tray(s) for cabling at both cable ends.

User Manual

If interconnecting, route cable through the cable management system (CMS) to the CMS drop above ADF, as shown in Figure 52.

If cross-connecting between Main ADFs, place the patch cord in the upper or lower ADF patch trough(s) between the ADF frames, as shown in Figure 53.

7. Route the cable down from the cascade along the nearest side of the nearest transition. Start by routing cable around the transition spool and then up and around the convenient storage and transition spools.

NOTE: Which sets of spools you use in routing will depend on 1) your

interconnect or cross-connect application and 2) your cable storage requirements. (See “Applications” on page 19 for more information about applications.)
