How to Install the FMT1A Fiber Optic Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for mounting, wiring, and configuring the FMT1A Fiber Optic Enclosure.

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, Slack spools

  1. Mount the enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to the rack using four #12-24 x 1/2" screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

  2. 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.

  3. Prepare and install the cable entry grommet

    Determine the size of the innerduct to be used and cut the grommet accordingly. Install the grommet after the enclosure is mounted.

  4. Route the fiber cables

    Route the fiber through the cable entry grommet to the fiber cassettes. Use TAK-TYs to secure the fiber cords at the cable entry location.

  5. Insert fiber cassettes

    Insert the QUICKNET Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Cassettes into the enclosure and secure them using the NyLatch fasteners.

  6. Install slack spools

    Using adhesive backing, place slack spools inside the enclosure, approximately 5" off the back wall and 9" apart.

  7. Secure the strength member

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