2.3 Installation Guidelines
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
the manufacturer.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
2.4 Location and Space
The LTX patch and splice panel requires space in the front and rear for access to patching, splicing and cabling. Leave as
much side clearance for tray and panel removal and worker access as required by your application or local regulations.
Plan the input/output, upward/downward (cable feed) layout of each panel and its position in the rack before beginning
LTX panel installation.
LTX panels adapt to standard 19" or 23" ETSI racks with EIA, ETSI and WECO spacing and nominal 3¼" extensions
beyond the front rack ange.
2.5 Tools and Equipment
No special tools required.

Chapter 3: LTX Patch and Splice Panel Installation and Routing
3.1 LTX Panel Component Installation
If not already installed, install LTX panel components prior to installing cabling and bers, or mounting the
panel to a rack.
LTX panel components include entry/exit arcs, splice tray platform with routing spools, velcro banding, stacked splice
trays, one or two cable clamp brackets with cable clamps, front and rear doors, designation cards for front and rear of the
panel and an adapter patch plate panel with connectors and adapters.
3.1.1 Entry/Exit Arc Installation
Refer to Figure 3-1 for this procedure.
The installation instructions apply to the LTX 4RU only
At the front of the LTX panel, four entry/exit split arcs protect
top and bottom corners where ber jumpers enter the panel.
At the rear of the panel, entry/exit split arcs protect top and
bottom corners where IntraFacility Cables (IFC) enter the LTX
panel. Arcs can be removed if needed to accommodate other
LTX panel attachments.
At each corner of the LTX panel:
1. Position the center groove of the entry/exit arc in front of the
metal edge on the LTX panel.
2. Slide the entry/exit arc onto the corner entryway.
NOTE: The arcs install in the rear of the panel.

3.1.2 Routing Spool Installation
Figure 3-1 - Entry/Exit Arc Installation
Refer to Figure 3-2 for this procedure.
The installation instructions apply to the LTX 4RU, 2RU
& 1RU
Follow these instruction incase spools are not already installed
by the manufacturer. Routing spools are installed on the tray
platform before the platform is installed in the LTX panel.
Routing spools protect centrally located splice trays and
route IFC in the rear of the LTX panel through the slack
storage area.
1. On the tray platform, locate the four routing spool
screw holes.
2. Position routing spools on the tray platform so that screw
holes align. For correct alignment, the routing spool
overhang should face toward the outside of the platform.
3. Insert a screw from the bottom of the tray platform up
and into the screw hole of each routing spool and
hand tighten.
4. Adjust routing spool positions to best accommodate cable
routing and tighten screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

sit in the center platform surrounded by routing spools.
Trays hook together and are secured on the panel with
velcro bands.
1. Attach a velcro zip-tie band at the front and rear
center tie-down slot on the tray platform.
To do this:
a. Slide the band through the tie-down slot
and into the zip-tie opening at the end of
the velcro band.
b. Tighten the band to the slot.
c. Repeat the process at the opposite side,
attaching the velcro band to the platform's
tie-down slot.
2. Place the rst splice tray in the center of the platform
(long side of the tray toward the front of the tray
platform) between routing spools, tie-down slots and
metal tabs. There will be a small amount of space
between the metal tabs and tray.
3. Place the next tray on top of the rst tray. Each side
of the tray has two tabs that snap into slots securing
it to the tray below. Snap trays together.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the remaining trays.
5. Pull each velcro band up and over the stacked splice
trays and attach them together to secure the trays to
the platform.
* The number of splice trays will depend on the
number of connectors.
