Figure 1. 1RU Rapid Fiber Panel

On a more specific level, the Rapid Fiber Panel shipped to the customer will vary depending on

the options ordered, as follows:

• The shipped panel will be equipped with up to four 12-fiber indoor plenum-rated

microcables. This will be singlemode G657.A2 reduced bend radius (RBR), multimode

OM4 microcable, or indoor/outdoor microcable.

• The optical fibers that connect internally to the adapter bulkhead will be terminated,

accordingly, with single-mode SC (UPC or APC), single-mode LC (UPC or APC),

multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC (UPC) connectors.

• The spooled cable that is paid out at the installation site will be terminated on the far end

either with a 12-fiber microcable or with any of the following per customer order:

– MPO connector: 12-fiber. Single-mode or multimode.

– NG4access cabled module (CMOD): either 24-fiber module/s with single-mode LC

(UPC or APC) or multimode LC (UPC); or 12-fiber module/s with single-mode SC

(UPC or APC) or multimode SC (UPC).

– Breakout: 12 fibers, 2 mm or 900 micron in diameter, up to nine feet (2.74 m) in

length, terminated with 12 individual connectors. These will be single-mode SC (UPC

or APC), single-mode LC (UPC or APC), multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC

(UPC) connectors.

The 1RU Rapid Fiber Panel cable spool tray with plenum rated cable holds up to 200 feet of

cable. Cable lengths of up to 1000 feet are possible through use of a temporary external spool.

Note: Plenum-rated cable may be used in both riser-rated and plenum environments.

Note: Microcables with stub end non-functional connectors look the same as microcables

with MPO connectors. Like MPO connectors, they are housed inside of black pulling

eyes; however, non-functional connectors are not optically terminated. They are crimped

to the cable jacket and strength member yarns. Non-functional connectors are cut off after

the cable has been fully unwound from the spool and is ready to be spliced.

When a panel with an external spool is ordered, the panel is shipped as shown in Figure 2 with

the RapidReel cable spool tray mounted in a box on top of the external spool. A carousel for

unwinding the external spool is also provided. The carousel allows the cable on the external

spool to be paid out with the RapidReel cable spool tray still mounted on top of it.

Figure 2. RapidReel Cable Spool Tray Mounted in Box on External Spool

When all of the microcable has been unwound from the external spool, the RapidReel cable

spool tray is removed from the shipping box and then installed in the panel. The cable

remaining on the cable spool tray may then be unwound and routed to an Optical Distribution

Frame (ODF) or fiber panel.

The RapidReel cable spool tray installs in the panel from the front or rear side, as shown in

Figure 3. After the cable spool tray is installed, a lock on the tray holds the adapter bulkhead in

a fixed position with the adapters facing toward the front. When the lock is retracted, the

microcable is easily unwound by pulling it out of the spool. The adapter bulkhead rotates with

the tray to prevent the cable from twisting. Excess microcable slack remains on the spool. The

microcable may be withdrawn from the front or rear of the panel.

The 1RU Rapid Fiber Panel mounts in either a 19- or 23-inch, WECO or EIA, equipment rack

and requires 1.75 inches of rack space. Grounding points are provided on the left side of the

panel for connecting a two-hole grounding lug.

Note: If a Rapid Fiber Panel is installed above or below a non-Rapid fiber panel, 1RU of

open space must be left between the panels. This space is required for accessing the rear

connectors if cleaning is required.

1.2 Basic Components

The 1RU Rapid Fiber Panel has two high-level components: the panel shell and the RapidReel

cable spool tray. These components are described in more detail in the following topics.

1.2.1 Panel Shell

The panel shell, shown in Figure 4, provides a mounting point for the RapidReel cable spool

tray. The panel shell consists of the following components:

•Enclosure– Houses the RapidReel cable spool tray and protects the microcable

assemblies.

•Removable Front Cover – Protects the equipment patch cords at the point where they

enter the panel and connect to the adapter bulkhead. A designation card attached to the

inside of the cover provides a means for identifying and recording connections.

•Ground Connection – Provides a point for securing a two-hole lug (used for connecting a

grounding cable) to the side of the enclosure.

•Mounting Brackets – Secure the panel to the equipment rack. Two sets of mounting

brackets are provided, one set for 19-inch racks and one set for 23-inch racks. The

mounting brackets may be installed to provide a 2-, 4-, or 5-inch recess.

Note: When mounting multiple Rapid Fiber Panels into a rack or cabinet, be sure to

calculate the total weight of all the equipment being mounted to verify that it does not

exceed the rack or cabinet manufacturer’s maximum weight allowance. In Zone 4

Earthquake applications, exceeding the weight rating can compromise the integrity of the

rack during an earthquake.

1.2.2 RapidReel Cable Spool Tray

The RapidReel cable spool tray, shown in Figure 5, consists of the following components:

•Corner Cable Retainers – Provide cable management and radius limiting functions for

patch cords routed to the adapter bulkhead and for spooled cables routed to an Optical

Distribution Frame (ODF) or fiber panel.

• Spool – Stores up to 200 feet of cable when loaded with one dual 3.0 mm plenum cable or

one 12-fiber I/O cable. Stores up to 100 feet when loaded with two dual 3.0 mm plenum

cable or two 12-fiber I/O cables. When the spool is unwound, the cables are routed to an

ODF or fiber panel. Excess slack may be wound back onto the spool.

•Adapter Bulkhead – Provides a point for connecting the equipment patch cords to the

cable assemblies.

•Front Port Designation Plate – Identifies the optical port numbers on the adapter

bulkhead. The designation plate must be removed before the cables can be unwound from

the spool.

Note: The factory pre-installs the 23-inch mounting brackets on the panel in the 5-inch

recess position. If a 2- or 4-inch recess is required, the brackets must be removed and

repositioned. If the panel will be installed in a 19-inch rack, the 23-inch brackets must be

removed and replaced with the 19-inch brackets.

• Microcable Assemblies – Are loaded into each panel based on customer order. Options

for a particular panel include either 12-fiber microcables or a dual microcable consisting

of two 12-fiber subunits. The microcables may be either single-mode reduced bend radius

(RBR) or multimode. The internal cable ends may be terminated with single-mode SC

(UPC or APC), single-mode LC (UPC or APC), multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC

(UPC) connectors. The external cable ends may be terminated with connector fanout

assemblies, NG4access cabled modules, MPO connectors, or stub end non-functional

connectors.

The fanout assemblies will be 12-fiber single-mode SC (UPC or APC), single-mode LC

(UPC or APC), multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC (UPC). The NG4access cabled

modules will be either one 24-fiber LC module (UPC or APC) or two 12-fiber SC modules

(UPC or APC). The MPO connectors are of 12-fiber construction and equipped with a

pulling eye for use in paying out the cable. The stub end non-functional connectors are of

similar construction and appearance as MPO connectors, and also equipped with pulling

eyes, only the connectors are not connected optically and are designed to be cut off after

the cable is paid out. Each fanout assembly is also equipped with a pulling eye.

•Red Latch – (Shown in Figure 6) is used to engage and disengage the spool locking tab

and associated inner linkage, allowing the internal spool to rotate and to actuate the inner

linkage to allow the cable spool tray to be slid inward or outward into three positions:
