Mounting 144-Position Modules Adjacent to 72 or 96 Position Modules
Frames with a depth of 15 inches (38.1 cm) are recommended to accommodate the 15 inch
depth of the LSX termination/splice panel. The additional depth of the termination/splice panel
is due to the due to the additional room required for the splice deck on the rear of the panel.
Termination only panels have a depth of 12 inches.
If a 15 inch deep frame is not available, use a rear duct extension kit to extend backward the rear
doors of the frame. The new 15 inch deep frame will line up with any existing 12 inch deep
(30.5 cm) frame as shown in

OPERATION
7.1
Removing a Cover for Easier Access
The front cover of the chassis may be removed to provide easier access for cable routing. To
remove a cover, lift it straight out of the hinges. To replace a cover, position the hinge edge of
the cover on the hinges and press inward to push the edge into the hinges.
7.2
Patching and Testing
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 optical 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
