Installing multiple Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units into
the shelf
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units can also be installed into a
rack-mounted shelf. This is practical if there are multiple Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units at the local site.
The shelf supports up to six Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units and
mounts onto a 19-inch rack using standard 10x32 pan head screws.

Action
Place the shelf onto a 19-inch rack and use 10x32 pan screws
(not included with the shelf) to secure the shelf in place.
Note: If a solid panel is positioned above the shelf, make sure
that there is at least four inches of empty space above the
shelf. However, if the panel or shelf above has at least 50%
airflow capacity, no empty space above the shelf is required.
Install the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units into the shelf
slots by sliding them in from the front of the shelf.
Allow adequate space in front and the back of the shelf to be
able to install the fiber-optic links in the front and the superloop
cables in the back.
Note: When installing the fiber-optic cables, make sure
that the minimum bending radius does not exceed cable
manufacturer's specification. If the bending radius is smaller
than recommended, the fiber could be damaged.
