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.
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.
