Connector And Bulkhead Access; Fiber Protection - Cisco GS7000 Installation And Configuration Manual

Connector and Bulkhead Access

Observe the following considerations regarding connector and bulkhead access:
Connector access is critical for reconfiguration, testing, maintenance, and

troubleshooting.
The expanded fiber tray provides a clip which can accommodate up to four

SC-type bulkhead adapters, and a smaller clip which can hold up to two SC-type
bulkhead adapters.
The clips can be placed in any one of the three circular retaining tracks in various

orientations.

Fiber Protection

Observe the following considerations regarding fiber protection:
Fibers are subject to serious damage from mishandling that can cause pinching

and bending of the fiber beyond its capabilities.
The expanded fiber tray comes with a clear protective cover. After fibers have

been properly routed in the tray, the cover should be closed and locked in
position with the locking tabs before stowing the tray in the node.
Always route fibers in the tray using the fiber guides located about the tray

periphery. This will retain the fiber within the tray and prevent inadvertent
displacement or pinching of the cable when opening or closing the node.
The mounting surface of the tray faces downward in the stowed position and

upwards when the tray is in the access position, thereby discouraging
inadvertent contact with the fibers and passive devices.
