1. General
This manual describes installaon of pre-terminated cable, terminaon of cable using splicing and direct terminaon* of cable in panel
FP60 PRO or FP65 PRO. Some parts of the shown installaons may already be nished before delivery. If installing less bres and/or other
adapter types than shown, the manual is followed to the extent possible. When terminang less bres than the adapter plate can hold, the
rest of the holes are ed with blind plugs.
All installaon is described with the cable from the le side. If the cable should be from the right, the installaon has to be mirrored
accordingly.
It is recommended to read the whole manual once before starng the installaon.
Colour codes for cables delivered by Foss may be found under the icons to the right.
* Direct terminated cable means that the cable is prepared and the connectors assembled in the eld. The connectors may be prepolished and
without glue or meant for glue and polishing in the eld. It may also be connectors intended for direct splicing to the bre. Glue-free
connectors may be e.g. FAST or UniCam. Connectors for direct splicing to the bre may be e.g. FuseConnect.

3.1 Alternave bracket assembly
The brackets are assembled as shown in picture 3.1 at delivery. This is used if
the panel is to be mounted in a 19” rack.
The bracket may be moved 2 cm forward as shown in picture 3.2. This gives
more space in front of the panel which may be benecial e.g. if the distance
to the doors in the front is very short.
When the panel is to be mounted in an ETSI (metric) rack, the brackets are
turned and assembled as shown in picture 3.3.
Aer all installaons: make sure the bre guides are closed (see picture).

Loosen the snap-latches and pull out the drawer.
Insert the adapters. SC adapters are inserted with the guide tracks to the
right, FC adapters with the guide tracks to the le. LC adapters are inserted
with the lock to the right.
Fasten the cable to the two foremost punched out mounts in the drawer
using e-wraps. If a second cable is used this is fastened to the backmost
mount and to the two upper holes in the rear wall as shown in picture 4.2.
Any excess cable must be handled outside of the panel.
The adapter plate may be lied up and lted to give easier access to the
adapters on the inside. See picture 4.3.
Loosen the screws on the side and li the plate up and forward (as indicated
by the arrow) unl it rest in the end of the track. There it rests while the plate
is lted to the desired angle. Tighten the screw to secure it in that posion.
Clean the adapters. Distribute the bres on the guiding crosses according to
the adapters they shall be mounted in. Clean the connectors and insert them
in the adapters.
Close the bre guides (see picture 3.2.1).

Mount a splice holder in the two mid holes as shown in drawing 5.2. It is xed
with rivets through the two holes in the middle of the holder.
Fasten the cable to the two foremost punched out mounts in the drawer
using e-wraps. If a second cable is used this is fastened to backmost mount
and to the hole in the back-wall as shown in picture 4.2.
Any excess cable must be handled outside of the panel.
The adapter plate may be lied up and turned to give easier access to the
adapters on the inside. See ch. 4.3.
Clean the adapters. If the pigtails are more than 1.5 m long, they should be
cut to this length. Clean the connectors and insert them in the adapters.
Aach splice protectors and splice the rst 12 bres, put the bres in the bre
guide crosses as shown in drawing 5.4 and place the splice protectors in the
splice holders. Fibre nr. 1 to 12 (according to front labelling) in track 1 to 12 in
the splice holder. Follow the colour coding.
Put the second splice holder on top of the rst (clipped on, turned 180°
compared to the rst). Splice and place the next 12 bres, bre 13 to 24 in
track 1 to 12 of the splice holder. Connue in the same way with the rest of
the splice holders.
Close the bre guides (see picture 3.2.1).

6.7 Preparaon of cable when using corrugated tube
Strip the cable 161 cm + the length of the corrugated tube and prepare as
shown in drawing 6.7. If rubber tubes, do not ghten the e-wraps too hard.
The tubes may in this case be 19 cm outside the corrugated tube and end as in
drawing 6.8.
Protect the bre-tubes using foam tape and fasten the tubes to the two
foremost punched out mounts in the drawer using e-wraps. The foam tape
will also protect the tubes from slipping. The corrugated tube is fastened with
e-wraps to the holes in the back-wall as shown in drawing 6.8.
Then follow the instrucons in chapter 6A gure 6.3, or chapter 6B gure 6.5
depending on number of bres.
6.8 Fastening of the corrugated tube.

Loosen the snap-latches and pull out the drawer.
Up to 96 bres (LC): Insert the adapters from the outside with the key to
the right.
72 bres (SC)/144 bres (LC): Insert two adapters in each hole.
Both adapter types are inserted with the keys away from each
other (one le and one right) as shown.
Mount two splice holders in the two mid holes (one for each holder) as shown
in drawing 6.5. They are xed with rivets through one of the “nut holes” at
the end of the holder (shown as black dots).
Fasten the cable to the two foremost punched out mounts and to the lower
hole in the back-wall of the drawer using e-wraps. Any excess cable must be
handled outside of the panel
The adapter plate may be lied up and turned to give easier access to the
adapters on the inside. See ch. 4.3. Clean the adapters.
IMPORTANT: If the pigtails are more than 1.2 m long, they should be cut to
this length.
Aach splice protectors and splice the rst 4 bres, put the bres in the bre
guide crosses as shown in drawing 6.6 and place the splice protectors in the
splice holders. Clean the connectors and insert them in the adapters. Follow
the colour coding.
Connue with 4 and 4 bres unl the rst splice holder is full. Put the second
splice holder on top of the rst (clipped on, turned 180° compared to the
rst). Splice and place the next 12 bres, bre 13 to 24 in track 1 to 12 of this
splice holder.
Connue in the same way unl the le stack of the splice holder have
covered half of the total bre count. Then connue with the right stack.
