ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below) and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Title ADCP Number
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when
installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or
use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.

STANDARDS CERTIFICATION
Telcordia: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of GR-3125-CORE.
LIST OF ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
The acronyms and abbreviations used in this manual are detailed in the following list:
AWG American Wire Gauge
CCentigrade
FFahrenheit
FDH Fiber Distribution Hub
FMS Fiberglass Mounting Sleeve
FTTP Fiber To The Premises
OSP Outside Plant
PMF Pad Mount Frame
PNP Plug and Play
RBR Reduced Bend Radius
RMA Return Material Authorization
Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.
Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when moving or installing Fiber Distribution Hub
cabinets. Verify that the maximum lift weight rating of the equipment is sufficient to handle the
weight of the cabinet.
Danger: Do not stand under a Fiber Distribution Hub cabinet as it is being hoisted into
position for mounting. A failure of the lifting equipment or apparatus could result in serious
personal injury and cause significant damage to the cabinet.
Warning: Before digging, check with all local utilities for the presence of buried cables or
pipes. Contact with underground cables or pipes, especially electric power cables and gas
service lines, could interrupt local utility service and cause serious personal injury and
extensive property damage.

1 DESCRIPTION
This section provides a description of the OmniReach outdoor FDH 3000 288 termination
cabinet with pre-installed cables plus the cabinet specifications.
1.1 Outdoor FDH 3000 288 Termination Cabinet
The outdoor FDH 3000 288 termination cabinet with pre-installed cables shown in Figure 1 is a
secure, above-ground, outdoor fiber optic distribution cabinet designed to hold the various
optical components required for Fiber To The Premises (FTTP) distribution network
applications.

The version of the cabinet described in this publication is designed for pedestal-mount
applications. The interior of the outdoor FDH 3000 288 termination cabinet consists the
following primary components:
Distribution Panels: Provide a point for connecting the splitter output fibers with the
terminated distribution cable fibers. Each distribution panel provides mounting spaces for 72
bulkhead adapters. The cabinet may be equipped with one, two, three, or four distribution
panels. Adapters for UPC/SC or APC/SC style connectors are available.
Storage Panel: Provides a temporary “parking lot” for unused splitter output fibers. Each
splitter module comes with a connector pack that mounts in the storage panel. Up to nine 8-
position connector packs (72 fibers total) can be mounted in the storage panel.
Radius Limiters: Provide a place for storing excess slack from the splitter output fibers.
Splitter Compartment: Provides a place for mounting the splitters. Will support up to twenty-
four splitters. Unused splitter slots can be used for pass-though fibers. The splitters specified for
use with the FDH 3000 cabinet are equipped with reduced bend radius (RBR) fibers.
Sliding Adapter Pack (Input panel) – Provides a place for terminating spare feeder cable
fibers. Spare feeder cable fibers may be used for signal pass-through functions.
Grounding Block – Provides a common point for grounding OSP cables with metallic strength
members and for connecting a cable from an earth ground source to the cabinet.
The exterior shell of the outdoor cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum and is coated
with an almond-colored finish. Each cabinet is equipped with two front doors that provide full
front access to the optical components. The cabinet doors are equipped with a tamper-resistant
latch that includes a hasp for a padlock, stainless steel hinges, and door catches that prevent
accidental closing. Access to the cabinet requires a 216B key tool (accessory) to release the latch
handle. Lifting eyes are provided for hoisting the cabinet into position for mounting. Each
cabinet is equipped with a 6-inch ground spacer/riser to provide ground clearance. If more
ground clearance is required, an additional 6-inch spacer/riser is available separately as an
accessory item.
The outdoor cabinet may be mounted on a concrete pad or on a fiberglass mounting sleeve.
Mounting kits (accessories) are available for each mounting option. The feeder and distribution
cables enter/exit the cabinet from the bottom. Clamps secure the cables to the inside of the
cabinet. The bottom of the cabinet is enclosed with a moisture barrier. The cable entry/exit hole
is fitted with a flexible membrane to resist the entry of dust and moisture. GORE membrane
vents allow any moisture that may accumulate within the cabinet to be released.
The cabinet is equipped with factory-installed outside plant (OSP) distribution and feeder
cables. Ribbon and stranded type cables with either dielectric or armored construction are
available. The cable stubs are 100 feet in length. Cables with metallic strength members are
fitted with grounding terminals which are connected to the grounding block with jumper cables.
The specifications for the outdoor FDH 3000 288 termination cabinet are provided in Table 1.
