1 DESCRIPTION
This section provides a description of the OmniReach 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet plus
the cabinet specifications.
1.1 FDH 3000 864 Termination Cabinet
The 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet is a secure, above-ground, outdoor fiber optic
distribution cabinet that is designed to serve as a signal distribution point in Fiber To The
Premises (FTTP) optical networks. The cabinet features optical splitters that allow input signals
to be split into multiple connectorized outputs. The splitter function minimizes the number of
field splices that have to be performed when customers are added. Customers can be added in
switchboard fashion by simply repositioning connectors. The 864 termination cabinet is
designed for pedestal-mount applications only. A typical cabinet is shown in Figure 1.
The interior of the FDH 3000 864 termination cabinet consists of the following primary
components:
Distribution Panels: Provide a point for connecting the splitter output fibers with the
terminated distribution cable fibers. Each panel provides mounting spaces for 72 bulkhead
adapters. The cabinet may be equipped with up to twelve distribution panels. Adapters for UPC/
SC or APC/SC style connectors are available.
Storage Panels: Provide 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 thirty-six
8-position connector packs (288 fibers total) can be mounted in the storage panels.
Radius Limiters: Provide a place for storing excess slack from the splitter output fibers.
Splitter Compartments: Provide a place for mounting the splitters. Will support up to forty-
eight splitters. Unused splitter slots can be used for pass-though fibers (2). The splitters
specified for use with the FDH 3000 cabinet are equipped with bend-optimized fibers.
Sliding Adapter Packs (Input panel) – Provide a place for terminating the feeder cable fibers
when splitter modules with connectorized input fibers are used with the cabinet. Provide a place
for terminating spare feeder cable fibers when “plug and play” (PNP) splitter modules are used
with the cabinet. Spare feeder cable fibers are typically used for signal pass-through functions.
Grounding System – Provides a point for grounding the cabinet and OSP cables.
The exterior shell of the FDH 3000 cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum and is
coated with an almond-colored finish. Each cabinet is equipped with two front and two rear
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
additional ground clearance.
The cabinet is equipped with a left and right swing frame. Each swing frame rotates outward
from the front of the cabinet. This provides complete access to most of the components mounted
with the cabinet.

The cabinet may be mounted on a concrete pad or on a polymer concrete 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 are provided to release any moisture that may accumulate within the cabinet.
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 shields are fitted with
grounding terminals which are connected to the grounding block with jumper cables. The
specifications for the 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet are provided in Table 1.

2 BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
This section provides general installation considerations, unpacking and inspection procedures,
and lists the tools and materials required for cabinet installation.
2.1 Installation Overview
Installation of the 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet involves the following main tasks:
Installing a Support Base (Pedestal-Mount) – The pedestal-mount cabinet must be mounted
on a suitable support base. The following two mounting options are available:
•Mounting Sleeve (FMS) – The FMS is a polymer concrete sleeve that mounts in the
ground. The FMS provides a stable mounting platform plus storage space under the
cabinet for OSP cable slack. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault for OSP cables.
•Poured Concrete Pad – Concrete slab with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF is a
stainless-steel frame that is embedded in the concrete during installation of the slab. The
cabinet attaches to the PMF which holds it securely to the slab.
Mounting the Cabinet – After the support base is installed, the cabinet must be secured to the
support base. The OSP feeder and distribution cables must be uncoiled and routed to a separate
splice enclosure (not provided) before the cabinet is secured to the support base.
Splitter Installation – The cabinet may be ordered with one or two splitters. If additional
splitters are required, they must be ordered separately. All splitter modules that are ordered
separately must be installed in the splitter compartment and the input connectors must be mated
with the terminated feeder cable fibers.
Splitter Output Fiber Connections – Service is enabled by connecting the splitter output fiber
connectors to the subscriber distribution ports. Unused output fibers are temporarily “parked” in
the storage panel until they are needed for service.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all parts have
been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred.
Use the following procedure to unpack and inspect the cabinet and all accessories:
1. Open the shipping carton(s) and carefully unpack the cabinet and any accessories from the
protective packing material.
2. Open the cabinet doors (requires 216B key tool) and check for broken or missing parts. If
there are damages, contact ADC (see Section 11) for an RMA (Return Material
Authorization) and to reorder if replacement is required.

3 MOUNTING THE CABINET ON A MOUNTING SLEEVE
The FMS, shown in Figure 3, is a polymer concrete sleeve that may be used to support the
cabinet at ground level. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault. Four vertical racks are
molded into the sides of the FMS to accommodate removable rungs (not provided). The rungs
provide support for splice cases or OSP cable storage.
3.1 Installation Recommendations
The site chosen for the installation must conform to all local codes and any permits required
must be obtained prior to the start of installation. The location must be accessible and provide
adequate parking for worker and vehicle safety. Situate the FMS close to the trench that was
used for routing the OSP fiber cables for the network distribution system.
The installed cabinet must not create a visual or physical obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian
traffic. Ensure that there is sufficient space on all sides to facilitate cabinet installation.
Depending on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the mounting sleeve may be
located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade.
Figure 3. Mounting Sleeve (FMS-FD3J-KIT-A)
3.2 Excavation
The excavation must be large enough to provide a fill base that will maintain stability for the
FMS and the cabinet mounted on it. There must be room for 12 inches (30.5 cm) of fill below
and on each side of the FMS. The excavation dimensions for the FMS are shown in Figure 4.
Excavate a rectangular hole for the FMS.

3.3 Placement of the FMS
Use the following procedures to place the FMS into the excavation.
1. Fill the bottom of the hole with stone aggregate, tamping it as it is filled to build a 12 inch
(30.5 cm) layer with a level surface. The stone aggregate will provide a stable base to
support the FMS.
2. Use appropriate lifting equipment to place the FMS into the center of the hole. Lifting
loops are provided on either side of the FMS for attaching a sling or chain.
Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when installing the FMS. Do not stand in the hole while
placing the FMS in position. An unexpected shift of the FMS could result in personal injury.
Note: Use crushed rock 3/8-inch or less in size mixed with stone dust (per local practice)
to fill the hole. The name of the material may differ in different geographical areas.
Possible names are Class 5, stone dust, aughts (0s) and ones (1s), or stone aggregate

3. Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove
fill for leveling, tamp any added fill to maintain the base stability.
3.4 Cable Conduit Installation
Select the conduit entrance holes (see Figure 4) for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. If
necessary, additional conduit entrance holes may be cut using a power drill and hole saw. Place
and route the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the FMS may be installed without
conduit. OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point that is convenient. Cut the cable
entrance hole to match the size of the cable.
3.5 Grounding System Installation
Install a grounding system (not provided) that meets all local electrical codes. Check local codes
for grounding system installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding
requirements. Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the
grounding system inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit or cables. Leave
sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is
mounted on the sleeve.
3.6 Back Fill
If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the conduit to avoid damage from the
power tamper. Complete the back fill as follows:
1. Add stone aggregate evenly around the FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches
(15.2 cm) from the top of the excavation.
2. Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending on the landscaping
requirements. The top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches
(10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade (see Figure 4).
3.7 Mounting the Cabinet on the FMS
Use the 216B key tool to un-latch and latch the cabinet doors as needed during the mounting
process. Refer to Figure 5 as necessary when mounting the cabinet.
Warning: Use appropriate lifting equipment when moving or installing the cabinet. Do not
stand under a cabinet as it is being hoisted into position for mounting. A failure of the lifting
equipment could result in serious personal injury.

back sides of the cabinet ground spacer/riser as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Removing Access Covers From Ground Spacer/Riser
2. Remove the access covers from the ground spacer/riser and set aside both the covers and
the screws for reuse.
3. Mount the FMS adapter cover on the FMS and secure using the two capscrews and flat
washers provided. Tighten each capscrew securely.
4. Place the isolation gasket (provided with cabinet) on the adapter cover and align the holes
in the gasket with the holes in the adapter cover. Make sure the side of the gasket with the
cut-out section aligns with the cut-out in the adapter cover.
5. If a ground spacer/riser (optional accessory) will be installed, place the spacer in position
for mounting on the adapter cover. The isolation gasket installed in step 4 should remain in
place between the adapter cover and ground spacer. If a ground spacer will not be
installed, proceed to step 8.
6. Align the mounting holes in the spacer/riser with the mounting holes in the adapter cover.
7. Secure the spacer/riser to the adapter cover using the eight capscrews, eight lock washers,
and eight flat washers provided with the spacer. Tighten all capscrews securely.
8. Using appropriate lifting equipment, hoist the cabinet several feet into the air to provide
access to the feeder and distribution cables.
9. Carefully route the stubbed feeder and distribution cables through the rectangular opening
in the ground spacer/riser or adapter cover and into the FMS.
Danger: Do not stand directly under the cabinet as it is being hoisted into position for cable
installation. A failure of the lifting equipment could result in serious personal injury.
Note: Label or tag the stub end of each cable so it can be identified after it is routed to the
splice enclosure.

10. Feed the stubbed feeder and distribution cables into the appropriate conduit sections and
route to the splice enclosure (not provided). Some excess cable slack may be stored in the
bottom of the FMS.
11. Lower the cabinet onto the ground spacer/riser or adapter cover and align the mounting
holes in the cabinet base with the threaded holes in the spacer/riser or cover. If a spacer/
riser was not installed, leave the isolation gasket (installed in step 4) in place on the
adapter cover.
12. Secure the cabinet to the adapter cover or spacer using the eight capscrews, lock washers,
and flat washers provided with the cover. Tighten all eight capscrews securely.
13. Install the FMS cover onto the FMS and secure using the two capscrews and washers
provided. Tighten both capscrews securely.
14. The lifting eyes may be left in place or removed from the cabinet. To remove the lifting
eyes, use a 7/32-inch hex-key to remove the lifting eye screws. Store the lifting eyes inside
the cabinet and then re-install the lifting eye screws in the cabinet.
15. Reinstall the front and back access covers that were removed in step 1. Use a 3/16-inch
hex-key to tighten the screws that secure the access covers to the cabinet ground spacer/riser.
3.8 Grounding Wire Connection To Cabinet
Prior to mounting the cabinet, a grounding system and grounding wire should have been
installed (see Section 3.5) in the space below the cabinet. Use the following procedure to
connect the grounding wire to the cabinet:
1. Locate the grounding wire that was installed prior to mounting the cabinet on the FMS.
2. Working from the bottom side of the cabinet, insert the grounding wire through the
flexible membrane at the point indicated in Figure 7.
3. Route the grounding wire to the cabinet grounding lug located on the right side (viewed
from the back) of the cabinet.
4. Attach the grounding wire to the cabinet grounding lug. The grounding lug can be used for
#6 – 14 AWG wire.
5. Tighten the grounding lug set screw to 30 to 35 lbs force – inches (3.4 to 4.0 Nm of torque).
6. Leave sufficient slack so the grounding wire can be routed and repositioned as needed.
Note: A separate splice enclosure (not provided) is required for splicing the cabinet OSP
cables to the network OSP cables. If required, the splice enclosure may be mounted within
the FMS.
Note: The FMS cover may be installed at a later time to allow the interior of the FMS
sleeve to be accessed for cable installation, ground wire installation, or splicing.
