ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual contains descriptions, rack configurations, applications, and cable routing
instructions for the OMX600 bay
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.

1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 OMX Bay
The OMX600 bay is a modular frame that provides mounting positions for termination
modules, splice modules, and jumper storage modules in a 600 mm  300 mm footprint. The
modular design provides several configuration options, depending on the application. Figure 1
shows a skeleton bay and a fully configured bay that can accommodate 576 terminations and
576 splices, respectively.

1.2 Termination Module
The OMX600 termination modules are available with 72, 96, or 144 (LC only) adapters. These
modules can be ordered with adapters only or pre-terminated with either intrafacility fiber
cables (IFC), outside plant (OSP) cables, or pigtails.
Figure 2 shows the main components of the 72-position and 96-position OMX termination
modules (72-position left side termination module shown on left; 96-position left side
termination module shown on right).

1.3 Splice Module
The OMX splice module, shown in Figure 4, provides a location for up to 24 round splice trays
(ordered separately). There is a left and right side version of the splice module.

1.4 Round Splice Tray
The round splice tray provides cable management, storage, and splicing for multiple fiber optic
cables. Figure 5 shows the main components of the round splice tray. The tray can
accommodate up to 24 stranded fibers or up to 2 x12 fiber ribbons (though, typically, a single
12-fiber mass fusion ribbon splice is used in each tray).
The tray consists of a top and bottom side for routing and storing fiber cables. The top side of
the tray provides storage for splice protectors and excess fiber, while the bottom side is used to
reverse the direction of half of the fibers.

1.4.1 Round Splice Roll-Up Direction
The cables routed to splice trays installed on the left side of the OMX600 bay (as viewed from
the front) are rolled up in a counter-clockwise direction. Cables routed to splice trays installed
on the right side of the bay are rolled up in a clockwise direction, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Counter-Clockwise and Clockwise Roll-Up Directions
1.5 Jumper Storage Module
The jumper storage modules provide a location to store jumper cables within a 600 mm frame
and are available in either a right side (shipped as right side orientation) or left side orientation.
Each jumper storage module occupies the same amount of vertical rack space as one
termination module. A maximum of five jumper storage modules can be installed on the inside
right or left of the frame. See Figure 7.
