How to Install the FMT2 Fiber Optic Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FMT2 fiber optic enclosure, ensuring proper cable management and safety.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cable ties, Grommets

  1. Mount the enclosure

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

  2. Install the strain relief bracket

    Place the strain relief bracket near the area where the cable will enter the enclosure. Fasten it using a #10-32 hex nut.

  3. Prepare the cable entry

    Determine which grommet will be used for cable entry. Remove the knock-out at the entry location of the fiber tray and install the grommet according to the cutting diagram.

  4. Secure the cable

    Insert the cable through the grommet and secure it to the strain relief bracket using a cable tie. Strip 1 meter of jacket from the end of the cable and attach the strength member to the #10-32 stud with a hex nut.

  5. Install the bend radius brackets

    Slide the bend radius brackets onto the tabs with the slots facing outside and snap them in place.

  6. Terminate the fibers

    Terminate the fibers with appropriate connectors and mount each connector in the panel.

  7. Loop excess fiber

    Gently loop the excess fiber around the spools inside the enclosure.

  8. Attach safety labels

    Attach the Laser Warning Label and Caution Label where they are clearly visible on the enclosure.
