Overview

The Panduit FST48 Fiber Splice Tray Kit (SKU: FST48) is engineered to manage up to 48 discrete fiber fusion splices, offering a robust solution for fiber optic network infrastructure. This kit is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Panduit's FRMHSS-4RU and FRMHSST-4RU 4RU Splice Enclosures, as well as the FWMHSS*S-3456 and FWMHSS*S-6912 Wall Mount Fiber Splice Enclosures. Each tray within the kit is capable of holding up to 24 x 900μm fibers, utilizing heat shrink splice protectors for secure and reliable connections. The product comprises two such trays, providing a total capacity of 48 splices. External fiber cable management features facilitate easy storage of excess fiber, while multi-directional routing options allow for both vertical and horizontal mounting, adapting to diverse installation environments. The FST48 maintains a critical 30mm bend radius, essential for preserving the integrity of 250μm or 900μm fiber. Internal cable management offers multiple routing paths, including crossover capabilities, enhancing flexibility. Pivoting splice holders ensure uninterrupted control of the fiber during the splicing process, and a built-in fiber pick aids in the withdrawal of individual fibers. The trays are stackable, featuring a built-in hinge for easy access and maintenance. Each tray is equipped with a transparent lid secured by a hinge and latch, and cable tie points are provided for fiber entry and exit security. Mounting options include a center hole, DIN style holes, or a double-sided foam adhesive pad. This splice tray kit is compatible with Molex CES 1U/2U/4U 19” standard fiber enclosures. It accepts both mechanical and fusion splices, with adjustable grips on each corner to prevent over-compression of loose tube cable, eliminating the need for separate cable ties. The FST48 is manufactured in the USA.

How to Install the FST48 Splice Tray Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FST48 Splice Tray Kit for fiber optic connections.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Cable ties, Heat shrink tubing, Transport tubing, Splice protectors

  1. Prepare the splice tray

    Remove the splice tray from the packaging and ensure all components are present, including splice holders and splice protectors.

  2. Route the fiber

    Insert the fiber into the splice tray from any of the four corners, ensuring it is covered with protective transport tubing. Secure the fiber using cable ties to prevent movement.

  3. Secure the transport tubing

    Cut 2-inch sections of heat shrink tubing and place them over the grommet and transport tubing. Use a heat source to shrink the tubing, securing the fiber in place.

  4. Install splice protectors

    Install splice protectors in every other mounting groove of the splice holder, ensuring they are placed over the fiber prior to splicing.

  5. Final assembly

    Ensure all fibers are properly secured and that the splice tray is closed with the clear cover. Verify that all connections are tight and that there are no loose fibers.
