How to Install the CFAPPBL2A Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the CFAPPBL2A enclosure, including mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cable entry grommet, Strain relief bracket, Adhesive bevel entry clips, TAK-TYs, Slack spools

  1. Prepare the enclosure

    Remove the cover of the enclosure by unscrewing the #10-32 screw, sliding the cover back, and lifting it off.

  2. Mount the enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to the rack using four #12-24 x 1/2" screws. If mounting to a metric rack, use four M6 x 1 screws.

  3. Install the strain relief bracket

    Attach the strain relief bracket near the cable entry point using a #10-32 x 5/16" screw and a #10-32 hex nut.

  4. Prepare and install the cable entry grommet

    Determine the size of the innerduct to be used and cut the grommet accordingly. Install the grommet into the enclosure.

  5. Route the fiber cables

    Route the fiber cables through the cable entry grommet to the fiber cassettes, ensuring to use TAK-TYs to secure the fiber cords at the cable entry location.

  6. Install fiber adapter panels

    Insert the QUICKNET pre-terminated fiber optic cassettes into the enclosure and fully seat the NyLatch fasteners to secure them.

  7. Secure the strength member

    Attach the strength member of the cable around the #10-32 stud inside the enclosure, securing it with a #10 flat washer and #10-32 hex nut.

  8. Finalize installation

    Ensure all connections are secure and that the enclosure is properly closed. Verify that no fibers are pinched or damaged.
