Use (2) #12-24 x 1/2" or (2)
M6x1 screws (provided).
Repeat for other side.
Install the bend radius posts on each side as shown.
Determine where the cable will enter the enclosure.
Carefully remove the knock-out at that entry location
of the fiber tray making sure not to damage the
surrounding sheet metal. DO NOT install grommet at
this stage, grommet will be installed after enclosure
is mounted to rack.
Place enclosure mounting brackets at desired
position on the rack. Mount the enclosure to the rack
using (4) #12-24 x 1/2" screws. Use the (4) M6x1
screws if mounting to a metric rack.

After the enclosure is mounted in the rack, determine
the size of the innerduct that will be used to bring the
cable into the enclosure. Install grommet following
the proper cutting diagram (See Figure 4A).

Opticom QuickNet Cassette Installation
Route fiber through grommet to fiber cassettes as
shown. Leave enough slack so when the drawer is
fully extended the cables are not put under tension.
DO NOT use so much slack that the drawer cannot
be returned to its home position (See Figure 6C).
Use Tak-Tys to secure fiber cords at cable entry
location and other points as shown.

Use enough cable length to ensure one
complete loop of individual fibers around
slack spools. Leave enough jacketed slack
so when the drawer is fully extended the
cables are not put under tension. DO NOT
use so much slack that the drawer cannot
be returned to its home position (See
Figure 7C).

Re-install front and rear door assemblies if
removed during fiber installation.
Attach Laser Warning Label and Caution Label
where they are clearly visible.
Figure 9
Rotate the Bend Radius Posts to the open
position on each end of the patch field to allow
room to route patch cords under the tabs to the
cable manager.
Plug fiber connector into FAP adapter. Route
patch cords down to fiber manager base, under
fiber manager fingers and Bend Radius Posts to
cable manager.
After all patch cords have been routed to the cable
manager, rotate Bend Radius Posts back to the
closed position to contain the patch cords within
the fiber manager. Tighten the connection of the
Bend Radius Posts to the enclosure by securing
the hex nut at the rear of the fiber manager and
tightening the Bend Radius bolt with a Phillips
head screwdriver.
