The panel can be mounted in either a 19- or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack with either
a 4-inch or 5-inch recess. The panel is shipped with the mounting brackets positioned for
installation in a 19-inch rack with a 5-inch recess. For other mounting configurations, the
brackets must be removed and reinstalled in a different orientation.

1. If installing the FPL panel in a 23-inch equipment rack, or if changing from a 5-inch to a
4-inch recess:
a. Remove the screws that secure each mounting bracket to the sides of the chassis and
then remove each bracket from the chassis.

Installing OSP or IFC Cable
Cable installation should occur after the panel is mounted in the equipment rack, as described in
. Installation consists of routing the cable to the panel, stripping back the outside
sheath of the cable to expose the optical fibers, installing a cable clamp to secure the cable to the
panel, and routing the fibers to the splice tray. The cable must also be grounded if it has a
metallic sheath or metallic strength member.
The cable clamp used in cable installation is shipped with the panel. Two clamps are provided
since two cables may be installed on a single panel if desired. Each clamp can accommodate
one cable with an outside diameter of 0.4 to 0.8 inches (1.02 to 2.03 cm).
