    Cables routed into the tray for splicing or termination are normally multifiber cable assemblies. Cables to be spliced will be bare-ended. Cables to be terminated will be pre-terminated. The 2RU FMT will also have factory-installed, internal pigtails between splice tray and connector bulkhead. Refer to the following instructions.
  • Page 22 1. Open the tray fully and lock it using the lock open latch (see Subsection 7.1 Opening the Tray). 2. Route cables along the rack to the 2RU FMT, as shown in Figure 19. Route cable to be spliced on the left side of the rack. Route cable to be terminated on the right side of the rack.
  • Page 23 8. To connect an individual cable connector to an adapter, lift up the release tab on top of the adapter pack and slide up the adapter pack (see Figure 25 on page 28).
