5 INSTALLATION
Installation will vary depending on how the panel was outfitted in the factory and how it will be
used. Installation may include any of the following tasks: installing adapters; installing internal
pigtails; mounting the panel on the rack; installing OSP or IFC cable (either connectorized or
bare fiber); installing FOT patch cords; and installing cross-connect patch cords (in a cross-
connect application only). For step by step instructions, refer to the following subsections.
5.1 Installing Adapters
FPL panels are usually shipped with adapters already installed; however, in some case, you may
need to install adapters. The exact procedure to be used depends on the adapter type.
Figure 14
shows an example. For specific instructions, refer to the installation drawing that came with the
adapters.
Note: To avoid getting dirt into the adapter, leave the dust covers in place on the adapters
when mounting them on the retainers. If dirt does enter the adapter, use the ADC Fiber
Connector/Adapter Cleaning Kit (sold separately) to clean the adapter. Follow the
cleaning instructions provided with the kit.
