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.

STANDARDS CERTIFICATION
Telco rdia: 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

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 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 OMX600 Splice Bay (Equipped with Locking Splice Tray Doors)
The OMX600 Splice Bay provides a splicing location for OSP (outside plant) and IFC (intrafacility
cable) cables. The splice bay, equipped with locking splice tray doors, can accommodate up to 84
round splice trays (1008 total splices). Figure 1 shows the main components of the splice bay
equipped with locking splice tray doors.

1.2 OMX Splice Bay without Locking Splice Tray Doors (Standard)
The OMX600 Splice Bay provides a splicing location for OSP (outside plant) and IFC
(intrafacility cable) cables and can accommodate up to 120 round splice trays (1440 splices). The
standard version’s cable clamp positions also can be custom configured. For IFC counts in
multiples of 72 (as shipped), use the 72-fiber IFC configuration (Figure 2 or Figure 3, depending
on cable origin, left view); for IFC counts in multiples 96, use the 96-fiber IFC configuration
(Figure 2 and 3, depending on cable origin, right view). For IFC counts in multiples of 96,
reposition cable brackets as shown in Figures 2 and 3, depending on cable origin.
