1. Description  
Telect’s MDC-CB is an indoor/outdoor fiber telecommunication distribu-  
tion cabinet. The cabinet houses Telect’s bulkhead-style Patch Modules to  
handle optical signal distribution between a CO and the network edge. A  
single MDC-CB cabinet with up to six Telect Patch Modules can provide  
distribution service to 432 homes, offices and/or nodes.  
Cabinet  
The weather-tight, heavy-gauge, light-weight aluminum cabinet is almond with  
two lockable doors — both doors have wind stays. OSP feeder and distribution  
cable enter through weather-tight cable clamps at the bottom of the rear com-  
partment:  
Illustrations that follow depict open-door views of MDC-CB cabinets with and  
without in-cabinet splicing.  
Along with the cabinet, Telect includes a footprint template which is also the iso-  
3
lation pad, two cable entrance clamps for two feeder cables between /8 in. (9.6  
1
9
mm) and 1 /5 in. (30.5 mm) in diameter, and a /32 in. Allen-head key for open-  
ing the door latches. The MDC-CB includes a 6-in. base. A 12-in. Telect base  
(Model MDC-R12) is optional.  
Physically, the only difference between MDC-CB cabinets with or without splic-  
ing is the splice box on the rear door. Feeder and distribution cabling for the two  
is, however, quite different.

.MDC-CB WITHOUT REAR COMPARTMENT SPLICING  
Cabling without in-cabinet splicing involves an aerial or below-ground splice box for splicing the distribution and feeder cables to  
connectorized cabinet cabling.  
At the cabinet, the OSP distribution cable is clamped at the floor of the rear compartment and then routed along the cabi-  
net’s compartment partition. The connectorized 250 µm strands break out here into subunits/buffers and then connected to  
one of the six possible, 72-channel Patch Modules. Each patch module contains SC/APC adapters to interface the distribu-  
tion fiber in the rear compartment to the cross connections in the front compartment.  
Feeder cable is anchored along the rear side wall where 900 µm fiber breaks out into subunits/buffers and routed to 16  
SC/APC interface adapters near the top of the cabinet.

Each SC/APC adapter at the top of the cabinet serves to feed the fiber signal to a blue jumper in the front compartment, shown in the  
preceding illustration. The blue jumper is routed down through the right portion of the front compartment, then around a couple of  
spools and an arc. The two spools at the bottom route the blue fiber to a Telect Splitter Module.  
Up to 18, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, or 1x32 Telect Splitter Modules can be installed in the splitter bulkhead at the bottom of the front compart-  
ment. Each splitter module consists of the splitter, one blue “input” jumper, and either 4, 8, 16, or 32 yellow “output” jumpers. All are  
2 mm jumpers, 2.1 m in length.  
Splitter module installation and all of the distribution changes occur in this front compartment:  
Unassigned jumpers are routed via spools and arcs to a parking station for later subscriber assignment.  
Assigned jumpers are routed via the spools and arcs to the front of the SC/APC adapters in the front of the patch modules  
for cross connection to the distribution fiber connected to the rear of the patch modules.

MDC-CB WITH REAR COMPARTMENT IN-CABINET SPLICING  
The distribution and feeder OSP enter the cabinet at the floor of the rear compartment. The installer clamps the cable and breaks out  
the fiber into 3-mm, radius-control (limited bend) loose tubing. The installer anchors feeder and distribution tubes along the cabinet’s  
side wall and rear door.The tubes are guided to the top of the optional splice box located on the door.  
The optional in-cabinet Telect Splice Box (Model MDC-SPLC) holds three pods of splice cassettes surrounded by a runway for the  
loose tubing.

Each cassette normally accommodates 24 splices. If all feeder and distribution fiber requires splicing, a total of 18 cassettes are  
needed to accommodate all 432 subscribers. For the distribution splices, each pod would hold 6 splice cassettes plus one additional  
cassette on one of the pods for up to 16 feeder splices.  
Feeder and distribution strands are spliced to connectorized fiber protected by 3-mm, radius control loose tubing. All tubing from the  
cassettes to the feeder interface and patch modules cross the door hinge near the top of the cabinet. The tubing is anchored along  
the compartment partition and guided to SC/APC feeder or distribution adapters:  
The feeder interface near the top, rear-side of the cabinet contains 16 adapters to pass feeder signals to the front compart-  
ment splitters.  
The distribution adapters are located on 72-port modules (Models MDC-P72N). Fan-out blocks on the Patch Modules are  
used to accommodate the transition from 3-mm, multi-fiber loose tubing to 900 µm transparent tubes, one for each of the  
72 fibers. A total of 6 Patch Modules accommodate the 432 possible subscribers. The SC/APC adapters pass signals to the  
front compartment for assignment patching.

FRONT COMPARTMENT CROSS CONNECTIONS  
Front compartment feeder and cross-connect cabling is the same for cabinets with or without in-cabinet splicing.  
Each SC/APC adapter at the top of the cabinet serves to feed the fiber signal to a blue jumper in the front compartment. The blue  
jumper is routed down through the right portion of the front compartment, then around a couple of spools and an arc. The two spools  
at the bottom route the blue fiber to a Telect Splitter Module.

PRE-INSTALLATION  
Location & Layout —  
Use the floor template (isolation pad), or the following illustration, to lay out and construct a re-enforced concrete pad, grating, or  
other suitable, stable platform to accommodate the cabinet, anchorage, and cabling. Concrete pads must be at least 6 in. (~150  
mm) thick.  
Telect does not include an anchor kit or a vault-to-cabinet adapter with the cabinet. Order Telect’s seismic anchor kit (Model  
MDC-CBAK) for either indoor or outdoor deployment on concrete. (See “Standard Accessories” Page 7-1.) Model MDC-CBAK  
is an expansion-style anchor requiring drilling into the pad; also acceptable are embed L-shaped anchors with ½ in. (M12)  
threads, available at appropriate hardware or specialty stores.

Please note the following recommendations:  
Telect recommends that the cabinet be mounted with either the 6-in.-high base or optional 12-in.-high base (Models MDC-  
R12) or a suitable vault, along with the isolation pad included with the cabinet. (See “Standard Accessories” Page 7-1.) If  
the cabinet is mounted to a concrete pad without a pedestal or vault, the stub-up conduit for the cables must be positioned  
accurately and must be either absolutely flush with or countersunk below the top of the pad.  
For a cabinet with a Telect base, the stub-up conduit should not rise above a concrete pad more than about 3 in. (~75 mm)  
for a 6-in.-high base and about 6 in. (~150 mm) for a 12-in.-high base. See the following illustration.  
Telect recommends running cables in 4-in. stub-up conduit. Normally, two 4-in. conduits are necessary: one for the feeder  
cable(s) and at least one for the distribution cable(s), as shown in the illustration that follows. Prefer to run feeder cable as  
close as possible to the grounding bar — regardless if feeder is armored or unarmored.  
Don’t forget to make room for growth. Add additional 4-in. conduit and cap off the end(s) at the edge of or beyond the pad.  
Telect recommends anchors at all four corners. Upper end of anchor bolts must extend between 1¼ in. and 1½ in. above  
top of pad, grating, or platform.  
For outdoor deployment, Telect recommends that, in addition to the isolation pad provided with the cabinet, that the cus-  
tomer plan for and provide a suitable water-tight gasket between the bottom of the cabinet and the pad. Use the preceding  
illustration to mark and cut a rectangular hole for cable entrance.

3. Cabling Without In-Cabinet Splicing  
WARNING  
!
WARNING! Fiber cables transmit invisible infrared light. To avoid eye damage or blindness, never look direct-  
ly into fibers or connectors.  
WARNUNG! Faserkabel übertragen unsichtbares Infrarotlicht. Um eine Schädigung der Augen oder Blindheit  
zu vermeiden, schauen Sie nicht direkt in die Fasern oder Stecker.  
ADVERTENCIA ! Los cables de fibra transmiten luz láser o infrarroja invisible. Para evitar lesiones oculares o  
ceguera, nunca mire directamente a las fibras o conectores.  
AVERTISSMENT ! Les câbles à fibres transmettent un rayon laser ou une lumière infrarouge invisible. Pour  
éviter toute lésion occulaire ou cécité, ne regardez jamais directement dans les fibres ou dans les  
connecteurs.  
Fiber installation without in-cabinet splicing involves installing connectorized OSP feeder cables to the floor of the cabi-  
net’s rear compartment and then terminating those connectors at compartment interface adapters near the top of the cab-  
inet. The connectorized distribution cabling is pre-terminated to the patch module assemblies at the factory. These op-  
tional patch module assemblies are secured to the cabinet partition. The distribution cables, like the feeder cables, are  
secured to the bottom floor of the rear compartment.  
After installing all feeder and distribution cables at the cabinet end, the opposite ends are then spliced to OSP cables lo-  
cated in a splice enclosure.  
FEEDER CABLE INSTALLATION  
The cabinet accommodates up to 16 strands of connectorized OSP feeder  
cable. Telect supplies two cable clamps that accommodate cables between  
/8 in. (9.6 mm) and 1 /5 in. (30.5 mm) in diameter. Each clamp, shown on  
the right, uses several layers of gasket or bushing leaves to hold the cable  
fast between the two halves of the clamp.  
Leaves are provided in an onion  
skin roll to accommodate  
multifiber cabling from .375 in. to  
1.25 in. (9.5 mm to 32 mm) in dia

To install a feeder cable, proceed as follows:  
Bushing Leaves  
1. Open rear door.  
2. Remove cable entrance dock at bottom of cabinet by removing six sets  
of nuts and washers shown in the following illustrations.  
The cable entrance dock contains eight slots with slide-out cover plates.  
Each slots can accommodate two cable clamps for either feeder or dis-  
tribution cable.  
3. Slide out cover plate over feeder stub up.  
If all feeder cable enters through the stub up closest to the feeder tie-down wall, choose the slot nearest the tie-down wall. If a  
second feeder cable is being installed, prefer to locate both in the same slot.

4. Use the next illustration to calculate the length of cable(s) required between the splice box (vault or aerial enclosure) and the  
feeder adapters near the top of the cabinet’s rear compartment. Use heat-shrink tubing to secure the loose tubing at the end of  
the cable(s).  
The illustration shows approximate lengths of exposed subunits/buffers to accommodate the 900 µm fiber between the breakout  
and the SC/APC connectors. Any breakout length between 15 in. and 50 in. will fit: a short breakout length would place the  
breakout near the top of the feeder tie-down wall; conversely longer lengths would be tied down closer to the cable entrance.

5. Feed opposite end of feeder cable(s) through stub-up conduit to splice vault or aerial en-  
closure. Before splicing, use cable ties “temporarily“ to hold the cable end(s) in the cabi-  
net to convenient lance(s) along the feeder tie-down wall. Tie it down temporarily so that  
the SC/APC connectors will reach the feeder adapters at the top of the rear compartment.  
6. Wait until all feeder cable is connected and secured in the cabinet before external splic-  
ing.  
7. Connect SC/APC connectors on all feeder fibers to feeder adapters.  
8. Measure diameter of cable(s) and remove and discard that much from the interior of the  
cable clamp’s leaf bundle equal to the diameter of the cable(s). The remaining leaves will  
be used between the clamp halves and the cable.  
9. Nearby the cable entrance, where the cable entrance dock had been, loosely secure the  
left bundle(s) and clamp halves to the cable(s), as shown in the illustration at the start of  
this procedure.  
10. Place cable entrance dock at bottom of cabinet and slip on cable clamps, as shown in the  
illustration on the following page.  
Solid Core (Discard)  
If you have only one feeder cable to install, you must use the other cable clamp to fill out  
the slot.  
11. Hold down or temporarily fasten dock to cabinet, and then arrange feeder cable(s) and  
tubing along the feeder tie-down wall. Use cable ties generously to fasten cable and tub-  
ing to the wall.  
Bushing Leaf  
Don’t use cable ties closer than ~1 ft (~300 mm) from the floor until all feeder and distribu-  
tion cables are installed. You’ll need some wiggle room for removing/re-installing the ca-  
ble entrance dock.  
12. Remove the entrance dock again and securely fasten the cable clamps to the cable.  
You will fasten the entrance dock to the cabinet after the distribution cable is installed in the next subsection.  
A cabinet with feeder cable installed is shown on the following page.  
13. Splice the other end of the feeder cable.

Patch Module With Distribution Cable  
Telect offers a standard length of cable to fit most applications: 100 ft (30.48 m), measured from a fan-out block attached to the  
Patch Module to the stub end. (Custom lengths available on request.) Telect breaks out short lengths of subunits for the shortest  
probable distance from the cable clamp to the Patch Module. The subunit breakout can be increased on site. Telect includes the ca-  
ble clamp for securing the cable to the bottom of the cabinet and a short length of heat-shrink tubing for covering the breakout.

The cable clamp, shown on Page 3-1, is the same type used to secure distribution cable. One cable clamps is provided. An addition-  
al cable clamp may be required to fill out the two-position entrance slot. (See “Standard Accessories” on Page 7-1.)  
The fan-out block allows transition from the 250 µm fiber in subunits to individual connectorized fiber strands in 900 µm transparent  
tubes. Telect terminates the connector at adapter ports at the rear of the patch module.  
To install a Patch Module with distribution cable, proceed as follows:  
1. Open rear door.  
2. Remove cable entrance dock at bottom of the cabinet, shown on Page 3-2.  
3. Slide-out cover plate over distribution stub up(s).  
Patch Modules will be installed from the top position (Patch Module 1) to the bottom (Patch Module 6). Unless otherwise direct-  
ed by operating company guidelines, prefer to start with the first distribution stub-up farthest from the patch module rack.  
Determine the length of the subunit breakout between the fan-out blocks on the edge of the patch module and the sheathed ca-  
ble. The end of the sheathed cable will be either clamped and tied down on the distribution tie-down wall or at the cable clamp  
on the cable entrance dock.  
NOTE  
Telect only breaks out about 7 in. (~175 mm) of subunit. This would be for the shortest breakout from a cable clamp near the  
center of the cable entrance dock to Patch Module 6. The longest breakout would be about 64 in (~1600 mm) between a cable  
clamp near the left wall (viewed from the front of the cabinet) to Patch Module 1.  
All cables entering the cabinet directly below the patch module rack need to be broken out at the cable clamp. The cable is not  
flexible enough to manipulate it below the rack and around to the distribution tie-down wall. Conversely, all cables entering the  
cabinet directly below the distribution tie down wall should be extended up the tie-down wall and tied down just below a conve-  
nient breakout point. (Refer to the illustration on Page 1-4.)  
4. Breakout subunits, heat shrink breakout, and then feed the opposite end of the cable into the distribution stub-up conduit.  
5. Move the cable clamp down to approximately where the cable will enter the bottom of the cabinet.  
NOTE  
Before connecting, splicing, storing, or parking distribution pigtails at the home, office, or node, install the Patch Module in the  
cabinet, as detailed in the following procedure. Refer to the following illustration.  
6. If necessary, provide temporary strain relief while handling and installing Patch Module by, for example, loosely tying down the  
cable at a convenient lance along a tie-down wall.  
7. Swing out hinged bulkhead from patch module’s anchor plate so that bulkhead fits through rack into front compartment. Then,  
secure anchor plate to partition wall using three acorn nuts provided.  
8. Secure cable and subunit to distribution cable tie-down wall. Use plenty of cable ties.  
Don’t use cable ties closer than about 1 ft (~300 mm) from the floor of the cabinet until all feeder and distribution cables are in-  
stalled. You’ll need some wiggle room for re-installing the cable entrance dock.  
9. At bottom of cabinet, adjust position of cable clamp in relationship to the cable entrance dock. Don’t secure the entrance dock  
until all scheduled distribution cables and Patch Modules are installed.

Fiber installation with on-board cabinet splicing involves installing Telect’s optional splice box and distribution patch mod-  
ules in the rear compartment of the MDC-CB. The feeder and distribution cables are secured to the floor of the rear com-  
partment. The installer routes the fiber breakout to the splice box where it’s spliced to connectorized fiber. In turn, connec-  
torized feeder and distribution fiber is routed and then terminated to the compartment interface adapters and distribution  
patch modules.  
SPLICE BOX INSTALLATION  
Install the Model MDC-SPLC Splice Box on the inside of the rear door using the hardware provided, as shown in the following illus-  
tration. (See “Accessories” Page 7-3.)  
PATCH MODULE INSTALLATION  
The Model MDC-P72N Patch Module is installed from and secured to the rear compartment. (See “Accessories” Page 7-3.)  
To install, swing out the hinged bulkhead from the patch module’s anchor plate so that the bulkhead fits through rack and into front  
compartment. (See the illustration on Page 4-3.) Then, secure anchor plate to partition wall using three acorn nuts provided. In the  
front compartment, secure patch module swing-out door.  
Install all intended patch modules before installing any cable.

2. Remove cable entrance dock at bottom of cabinet by removing six sets of nuts and washers shown in the following illustrations.  
The cable entrance dock contains eight slots with slide-out cover plates. Each slots can accommodate two cable clamps for ei-  
ther feeder or distribution cable.  
3. Slide out cover plate over feeder stub up.  
4. Fish feeder cable into cabinet and then remove at least 15 ft (~5 m) of sheathing from the cabinet end.  
NOTE  
15 ft allows the feeder fiber to reach the furthest splice cassette. Break out more buffer/subunit if you intend to splice anywhere  
but at ground level at the open rear door. Add multiples of 8½ ft (~2.5 m) when adding to this length if the splicing is done, for  
example, in a vehicle. The multiple represents the perimeter around the splice box for storing the excess length of tubing.

NOTE  
How many cassettes to place on each holder depends on how many feeder and distribution fiber pairs require splicing. If you in-  
tend to accommodate 16 (max.) signals from the CO and up to 432 (max.) from the distribution, you need a total of 19 cas-  
settes: one for the feeders and 18 for the distribution. It’s wisest to arrange cassettes more or less evenly among the holders.  
It’s also wisest to add all intended cassettes to the stack before running loose tubing and splicing any of the cassettes.  
Normally, each cassette holds up to 24 splices. If desired, up to 48 splices will fit each cassette in two layers of 24 — 24 lower  
and 24 upper. Two layers makes for a crowd cassette, however, but lessens the number of cassettes overall.  
16. After completing a stack of cassettes (a cassette pod), check the length of loose tubing required to reach the cassette. The fol-  
lowing illustrations show the shortest and longest required paths for tubing.  
The distance between the feeder cable breakout at the cable entrance and the cassette entrance will vary from 5 to 8 ft (~1.5 to  
~2.5 m) depending on the starting and ending points in the cabinet and on the door. Check the distance and add in multiples of  
8½ ft (~2.5 m), if desired, and then carefully cut off the excess tubing, being mindful of the fiber strands within. DON’T CUT  
THROUGH THE FIBER because you will need an additional 3 ft (~1 m) beyond that point for the unprotected strands which will  
be in the cassette. So, 3 ft (~1 m) passed the end of the loose tubing, cut away the excess fiber.

22. Apply the designation label to the cassette cover and connect ends of fiber into adapters  
on the feeder interface shown on the right.  
23. Continue with “Distribution Cable Installation” in the next section before installing the pod  
on the door and before securing tubing to the cabinet and door. Do not mix feeder and  
distribution splices in the same cassette.  
DISTRIBUTION CABLE INSTALLATION  
The cabinet accommodates up to 432 strands of OSP distribution cable.  
Telect does not include cable clamps for the distribution cable. The cable clamps are the same  
type used for the feeder cables. See “Accessories” on Page 7-2.  
Like the feeder cable, OSP distribution cable can be dry or wet, armored or unarmored. To connect to adapters in the patch module,  
the incoming distribution fiber needs to be spliced to fiber strands with SC/APC connectors.  
The breakout, splicing, and routing of distribution is similar to that of the feeder. In brief,  
1. As before, remove at least 15 ft (~2.5 m) of sheathing from the distribution cable entering the cabinet. More, if desired, in 8½ ft  
(~2.5 m) increments. Also remove the buffer/subunit tube covering the fiber and slip on 3-mm, radius control loose tubing.  
2. Heat shrink tubing to cable at entrance dock and then attach a cable clamp  
3. Check the length of loose tubing required for the run between the cassette and the fan-out block on the patch module.  
The distance will vary from 6¾ to 9¾ ft (~2 to 3 m) depending on the starting point on the door and the location of the patch  
module. Check the distance and add in multiples of 8½ ft (~2.5 m), if desired, to determine tubing length. For the fiber, you will  
need this length plus an additional 4 ft (~1.25 m) beyond that point for the unprotected strands which will be in the cassette and  
for the fiber from the entrance of the fan-out block to the adapter on the patch module.  
4. For each loose tube of 12 fibers, you will need a fan-out block to adapt the fiber in one loose tube to individual fibers in a 900 µm  
loose tubes.

To use the fan-out block, proceed as follows:  
Loose Tubing  
Transparent Tubes  
a. The furcation block has about 1.5 m (~5 ft) of transparent tubing for 900 µm fi-  
bers. Cut the transparent tubing back to 11½ in.(~300 mm).  
b. Slip the fibers through the furcation block and transparent tubes and move the  
ends of the transparent tubes up to the SC/APC connectors.  
c. Next, slip on the heat-shrink tube supplied with the fan-out kit  
d. Place the furcation block onto the bottom cover.  
e. Snap on the top cover.  
f. Slide up the heat-shrink tube against the block and heat shrink.  
Furcation Block  
Bottom Cover  
Heat-Shrink Tube  
5. Secure ends of both distribution tubes at opposite entrances to the cassette, route  
fiber throughout cassette (Page 4-9), trim excess, slip on splice sleeve, and splice.  
6. Record terminations on designation label included with cassette.  
7. Finish all splices in a cassette before moving to the next.  
8. Continue with the remainder of the fibers from the distribution cable — splicing them to connectorized fibers — before moving to  
the next cable.  
After every 72 fibers (6 fan-out blocks), connect ends of fiber into adapters on the patch module, shown in the following illustra-  
tion. Use the bracket provided on the patch module to secure the fan-out blocks to the patch module chassis.  
6 Fan-Out Blocks

ROUTING FEEDER & DISTRIBUTION LOOSE TUBING  
When completed and before moving to the next cassette pod,  
1. Install completed cassette pod on the rear door.  
2. Route all loose tubing as planned and use cable ties liberally to secure tubing to lances on door and in cabinet.  
3. After all feeder and distribution cabling and loose tubing has been installed, spliced, and routed, re-insert cable entrance dock,  
tilt it up as shown in the following illustration, and then slip the feeder and distribution cable clamps into the slots. Use extra  
clamps to fill out the slots containing only one cable.  
4. Pivot the dock to the floor of the cabinet and re-install the chock bar. Push the chock bar against the cable clamps.  
5. Secure the chock bar and close the rear door.

WARNING  
!
WARNING! Fiber cables transmit laser or invisible infrared light. To avoid eye damage or blindness, never look  
directly into fibers or connections.  
WARNUNG! Faserkabel übertragen unsichtbares Infrarotlicht. Um eine Schädigung der Augen oder Blindheit  
zu vermeiden, schauen Sie nicht direkt in die Fasern oder Stecker.  
ADVERTENCIA ! Los cables de fibra transmiten luz láser o infrarroja invisible. Para evitar lesiones oculares o  
ceguera, nunca mire directamente a las fibras o conectores.  
AVERTISSMENT ! Les câbles à fibres transmettent un rayon laser ou une lumière infrarouge invisible. Pour  
éviter toute lésion occulaire ou cécité, ne regardez jamais directement dans les fibres ou dans les  
connecteurs.  
ALERT  
!
ALERT! This product must be installed and maintained by qualified technicians.  
After installing all feeder and distribution cabling in the rear compartment, close the rear compartment. All subscriber  
changes are done in the front compartment. First, however, the high-intensity feeder signals needs to be split before cross  
connecting to the distribution.  
Telect Splitter Modules are installed, interconnected to the incoming feeder fiber, and cross connected to distribution fiber in the front  
compartment. After installing OSP cable, the rear compartment need not be re-opened.  
Telect manufactures four Splitter Module configurations for this cabinet: 1 x 4, 1 x 8, 1 x 16, and 1 x 32.  
To install a Splitter Module, proceed as follows:  
1. Start at Splitter Position 18 on the right and insert module in splitter bulkhead near  
bottom of front compartment.  
2. As shown in the illustration on the right, push in the two plunger-style latches to se-  
cure the module.  
The splitter module has one blue 2-mm jumper for the feed-in and 4, 8, 16, or 32  
yellow 2-mm jumpers for the distribution. All splitter jumpers are 2.1 m in length.  
3. Route the blue jumper to the first feeder adapter on the left at the top of the front  
compartment, as shown in the illustration on the right.  
Installing Splitter Module  
Going from right most splitter module to left most feeder adapter guarantees that  
the blue jumpers from all splitter modules will neatly fit the same pathway around  
the routing arcs and spools in the right half of the compartment. Prefer to route  
the blue jumpers as shown in the following illustration, that is, around the bottom,  
right most spool, up to the nearest arc, down around the bottom most spool to the  
left of the other, and on up to the feeder bulkhead.

4. Now route the yellow jumpers for assigned and unassigned distribution:  
For assigned distribution (connecting to a subscriber), route the cables to the right, around the right most spool at the bot-  
tom, and then up to and around one of the four arcs directly above, as shown in the illustration. Pick one of the arcs above  
the intended patch. (Always reserve the top most arc and spool for as yet unassigned cable and for dropped subscribers.)

REPACKING FOR SHIPMENT  
1. Tag the equipment showing owner’s name, address, and telephone number, together with a detailed description of the problem.  
2. Use the original shipping container if possible. If you do not have it, package the equipment in a way to prevent shipping dam-  
age. Include the RMA inside the container and legibly print the RMA number on the outside of the package, near the shipping  
address.  
3. Insure the package.  
NOTE  
Telect is not liable for shipping damage.  
CLEANING PATCH MODULE CONNECTORS & ADAPTERS  
The Patch Module adapters are mounted to a hinged bulkhead to allow access to both connectors on opposite sides of the adapters  
without having to open the rear cabinet door.  
The performance of Patch Module optical fiber connectors or adapters depends, to a large degree, on the cleanliness of the connec-  
1
tors and adapters at the time of connection. To thoroughly clean connectors and adapters , proceed as follows:  
2
1. If both connectors have been removed from the adapter, blow compressed gas through the adapter.  
2. Wipe completely around the ferrule of the connector twice with a lint-free wiping material that has been moistened with reagent-  
grade ethyl alcohol, nominal USP > 99%.  
3. Repeat Step 2 with a dry wipe.  
4. Blow compressed gas across the end of the ferrule. This is the final step before inserting the connector. Do not wipe the ferrule  
or allow it to touch anything after completion of this step.  
5. Insert connector into adapter.  
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the other connector.  
1. Procedure is adapted from GR-326-CORE, Issue 3, Sept 1999, Section 4.3.  
2. Compressed air or canned compressed gas that is clean, dry, and oil-free.
