LC Array Cable Installation
When using array cables the fiber fanout is normally secured to the chassis with retainers.
Mille-Ties are used to secure the cables to the sliding blade. From the tie point, the optical fibers
are routed to the adapters at the front of the blade.
Use the following procedure to install cable when blade has the cable tie clip:
1. Locate the cable entry location that is specified for cable installation as shown in
Figure 9
.
2. Route cables to chassis securing cables to rack per local practices.
3. Adjust cables leaving an 8-inch (20 cm) service loop within the chassis that allows blades
to be withdrawn.
4. Before connecting fibers to adapters pull blade out to the second detent.
5. Slide fiber fanout onto posts on chassis. After installing the last fiber fanout slide a fanout
retainer over each post.
6. Use Mille-Ties to secure cables to cable tie clip. See
Figure 9
. Use Mille-Ties to bundle
cables together as necessary.
7. Close blade after installing Mille-Ties.
Note: To prevent cable congestion install blades and related fiber fanouts starting at the
bottom of the chassis working up the chassis until all slots are filled.
