Overview

The Panduit FHDBRKOUT28 High Fiber Count Breakout Kit (SKU: FHDBRKOUT28) is engineered to efficiently manage high-density fiber optic cable installations. This essential component facilitates the organized splitting of large fiber optic cables into smaller, more manageable groupings, crucial for maintaining signal integrity and simplifying network infrastructure. Designed for robust performance in demanding environments, the kit accommodates cable diameters ranging from 16mm to 28mm (0.63 to 1.10 inches), ensuring broad compatibility with common high-count fiber cables. Each kit includes six expandable sleeve assemblies that securely snap into place, providing a reliable and straightforward breakout solution. The intuitive design minimizes installation time and complexity, allowing technicians to quickly transition from a single large cable to multiple smaller fiber strands. This is particularly beneficial in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise networks where space optimization and ease of maintenance are paramount. The FHDBRKOUT28 is manufactured in the USA, adhering to stringent quality standards. Its primary function is to enhance the scalability and maintainability of fiber optic networks by providing a structured method for cable termination and distribution.

How to Install the FHDBRKOUT28 High Fiber Count Cable Breakout Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FHDBRKOUT28 High Fiber Count Cable Breakout Kit, ensuring proper cable management and protection.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Cable gland, Tape

  1. Unpack the kit

    Remove the FHDBRKOUT28 kit from its packaging and verify that all components are present according to the parts list.

  2. Feed the cable

    Insert the cable through the cable gland on the base of the breakout kit. Do NOT tighten the cable gland at this stage.

  3. Strip the cable

    Strip the cable down to bare fiber according to the specified total strip length. Ensure you are stripping the correct length for your application.

  4. Sort the fibers

    Organize the bare fibers into groupings that are appropriate for your application, such as (6) 144 fiber groupings.

  5. Cap the fibers

    Tape the ends of each grouping of fibers to create a cap, preventing individual fibers from breaking during installation.

  6. Prepare the sleeves

    Roll the expandable sleeving off the plastic piece on the sleeve assembly so that it hangs off the back. Cut any excess sleeve material.

  7. Insert the fibers into sleeves

    Feed the bare fiber groupings into the sleeves, ensuring they are protected as they are routed outside of the breakout kit.

  8. Snap sleeves into the transition clip

    Once all sleeve assemblies are in place, snap them into the transition clip until you hear a 'CLICK' indicating they are secured.

  9. Lock the cable

    Tighten the cable gland to secure the cable in the base, ensuring it clamps onto the outer jacket and not the bare fibers.

  10. Install the door

    Attach the door to the breakout kit by compressing the plungers to lock it into place, ensuring the tabs are properly seated.

  11. Mount the breakout kit

    Install the breakout kit within a rack or cabinet using the provided mounting options, securing it with the appropriate screws.
