The RapidReel cable spool tray is equipped with an integral adapter bulkhead and is wound

with either a singlemode or multi-mode indoor plenum-rated cable or indoor/outdoor cable. The

spooled cable is preterminated to the bulkhead on the rear side.

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 per RapidReel cable spool tray. 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

with a 12-fiber single-mode or multimode microcable with any of the following per

customer order:

– Stub non-functional connector.

– MPO connector.

– 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),

Each cable spool tray with plenum rated cable holds up to 200 feet of cable. Cable lengths of up

to 1000 feet are possible using a temporary external spool attached to the cable spool tray. For

shipment the cable spool trays and external spools are stacked on a pallet as shown in Figure 3.

The cable spool trays are shipped in individual boxes such as shown, with each box attached to

the top of an external spool.

Not shown in Figure 3 is the panel shell, which is shipped in a box on top of the stacked cable

spool trays and external spools. The cable spool trays can be installed in the panel shell from

front or rear side, as shown in Figure 4.

A carousel for unwinding the external spools is also provided. The carousel allows the

microcable on the external spools to be paid out together with the cable spool trays still

mounted on the pallet.

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 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.

A cable spool locking tab that protrudes through the panel shell when the panel is in an

operating position holds the RapidReel cable spool tray in a fixed position with the bulkhead

adapter panel facing toward the front. When the locking tab is retracted (by sliding in the tray),

the bulkhead adapter panel rotates with the tray to prevent the cable from twisting. Cable slack

is stored on the spools. The microcable may be withdrawn from either the front or rear side of

the panel shell.

Each RapidReel cable spool tray is equipped with an integral adapter bulkhead and is wound

with a singlemode or multi-mode indoor plenum rated cable. The bulkhead is pre-loaded with

adapter packs. The spooled cable is preterminated to the same bulkhead on the rear side.

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

requires 1.75 inches of rack space per RU. A grounding point is provided on the left side of the

panel shell for connecting a two-hole grounding lug.

Note: Before installing the spool tray, verify that the adapter bulkhead is in the payout

position. For further details, refer to Topic 9.2 on Page 53.

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.

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 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 Basic Components

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

spool tray. These components are described in the following topics.

1.2.1 Panel Shell

The panel shell (Figure 5) provides a mounting point for the RapidReel cable spool tray.

Figure 5. Panel Shell (3RU Shown)

The panel shell consists of the following components:

•Enclosure– Houses RapidReel cable spool trays 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. One or two designation card are

attached to inside of cover providing 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 shell 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.

1.2.2 RapidReel Cable Spool Tray

The 3RU Rapid Fiber Panel has three RapidReel cable spool trays. The 4RU Rapid Fiber Panel

has six RapidReel cable spool trays. Each tray consists of the components shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. RapidReel Cable Spool Tray (Shown Without Panel Shell or External Spool)

The components shown are as follows:

•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 microcable. The 3RU spool can store up to 200 feet of cable when loaded

with one dual 3.0 mm plenum cable or one 12-fiber I/O cable. The 4RU spool can store up

to 100 feet when loaded with one dual 3.0 mm plenum cable, one 12-fiber plenum or I/O

cable, or one 24-fiber plenum cable. When the spool is unwound, the cables are routed to

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

•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.

•Red Latch – (Shown in Figure 7) is used to engage and disengage the spool locking tab to

allow 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: operation (home); cable payout

(inward); and full connector access (outward). For a description of tray positions, refer to

Topic 9.2 on Page 53.

•Spool Locking Tab – (Shown in Figure 7) is a black tab that protrudes from the panel

shell when the cable spool tray is in the operation (home) position. For a description of

tray positions, refer to Topic 9.2 on Page 53.

Figure 7. Red Latch and Spool Locking Tab

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

for a particular panel include either single 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 orAPC) or two 12-fiber SC modules
