! CAUTIONS
• Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes. Never
look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and permanent
retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a physician for
an eye examination.
• Wearing safety glasses during installation of this shelf is recommended. Although standard safety
glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental
airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.

1. Wipe bottom surface of drums and floor of shelf with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a lint-free cloth or tissue to
clean and degrease.
2. Peel off paper backing from one side of adhesive strip and apply to base of fiber drum.
3. Remove paper backing from remaining side of adhesive strip.
4. Locate pattern of four slots on floor of shelf. Orient outer spokes of fiber drum to align with these slots, lower
drum and press firmly to create good adhesion.
Note: Drum location and orientation is important to prevent interference between drums, adapters and
RoloSplice (optional).

Step 2 – Mount Shelf to Rack and Install Faceplate (for Unpopulated Shelf Only)
and Trough (Fixed and Sliding Versions)
Note: For the modular shelf, the faceplate is already attached to the shelf and no additional installation is
necessary.
1. Remove the two screws located at the front of the shelf and insert the appropriate faceplate as shown
above. Reuse the same screws to secure the faceplate to the shelf.
2. Install the individual adapters into the faceplate prior to fiber installation.
Trough
1. Rotate the two 1/4-turn fittings on trough door until the door disengages, then remove door from trough.
2. For a 1U shelf, loosen the faceplate mounting screws approximately 3 to 4 turns (for a 2U shelf, loosen
only the two bottom screws), then position the trough so that the heads of the front panel screws extend
through the keyholes in the trough.

Issue 5, March 2013
3. Using the keyhole feature, slide the trough mounting brackets onto the screws. Hold the trough in place and
tighten the screws using a screwdriver. It may be helpful to use a long screwdriver and insert screwdriver
through the square holes used to mount the 1/4-turn fittings for the door.
4. Re-install the door when finished.
Step 3 – Determine Method to Secure Fiber Cable to Shelf
Note: This shelf is designed for direct connection of fiber cables using cable glands inserted into the cable entry
slots provided or alternatively, using hose clamps. Another method for securing fiber cables is the use of optional
rack mounted brackets, which is not covered here. See instruction sheet 860380781 for using rack mounted
brackets.
Note: For smaller diameter cables, the 600-SRF kit (ordered separately) provides two liquid-tight fittings with a
smaller inside diameter. The smaller diameter fittings would be more appropriate for these cables.

48” (1.2m) length each
Note: These instructions cover only the cable gland method of securing fiber cables to the shelf.
1. Loosely secure fiber cable to equipment rack upright approximately 3 inches (76mm) above or below shelf,
using cable tie or hook-and-loop strip. Leave approximately 48-inch (2.1m) length of cable to route into shelf.
2. Fiber cables may enter shelf from either right side, left side or rear apron. Carefully loop fiber cable to rear of
shelf on either side and then continue to feed cable over top of rear apron. Loosely secure cable to rear of
shelf as shown above, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
3. Temporarily store slack fibers in shelf.
4. Remove plug from appropriate size opening in shelf to accommodate cable gland on fiber cable. Select an
opening on rear apron or either right or left side that will be most advantageous for cable entry.
5. Completely loosen gland nut from cable gland.
6. Feed fibers and subunit tubes through opening in shelf and temporarily coil fibers loosely inside shelf.
7. Rotate gland nut as required to allow it to pass through the opening and enter shelf.
Note: It may be necessary to temporarily remove a plug from an adjacent opening to provide sufficient
clearance for gland nut to be inserted through opening.
8. Insert threaded body of cable gland into opening and tighten gland nut onto threaded section to secure cable
gland unit to shelf.

Method A
1. Working back from where the fiber cable enters the shelf (at a cable gland), carefully loop cable over rear
fiber management bar and then to outside of shelf slide on opposite side of panel from cable entry point as
shown. Maintain the cable in as small of a radius as possible while not exceeding the minimum bend radius
for the cable. Secure fiber cable to shelf slide in at least two places using cable ties or hook-and-loop strips
threaded through slots and punches provided in rails. Do not secure cables to fiber management bar.
2. From shelf slide, route cable to equipment rack and loosely secure cable to rack upright approximately 3
inches (76mm) above or below shelf, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
Note: This method reduces the slack loop length at the rear of the shelf but it requires an open space of at least
1U above a 1U shelf to work. 2U shelves do not have this restriction.
1. Working back from where the fiber cable enters the shelf (at a cable gland), carefully loop cable over rear
fiber management bar and then across shelf slide on opposite side of chassis from cable entry point as
shown. Maintain the cable in as small of a radius as possible while not exceeding the minimum bend radius
for the cable. Do not secure cables to fiber management bar or drawer slide.
2. Route cable to equipment rack and loosely secure cable to rack upright approximately 3 inches (76mm)
above or below shelf, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.
4. Figure below shows typical fiber loop when shelf is retracted.
