1 DESCRIPTION
The FPL Series Termination/Splice Panel documented in this manual may be any of a number
of rack-mounted panels built using the same chassis style and incorporating similar features
such as angled adapters and vertical cable guides. Panel configurations include the following:
• Termination Only Panels—Available with 12, 24, 48, 72, or 96 termination positions.
LX.5 and LC connectors may be used with the 12, 24, 48, and 72 position panels to double
the density. These panels require connectorized fibers on both sides of the termination
bulkhead.
• Termination and Splice Panels—Available with 12, 24, 48, 72, or 96 termination
positions. LX.5 and LC connectors may be used with the 12, 24, 48, and 72 position
panels to double the density. These panels provide a transition between bare fibers and
connectorized fibers.
• High Density Termination and Splice Panel—Provides 144 termination and splice
positions in the same chassis, using standard connector types. The bulkhead on this panel
is slanted inward in a “V” design to provide room for a greater number of adapters.
