  • Page 2: Introduction

    (GND-STPKIT) Installation Instructions 90-382 1 DESCRIPTION The LSX Preterminated Termination/Splice Panel With Pigtails is an LGX style, rack-mounted panel that provides a splicing transition between one or more fiber optic cables and a termination bulkhead for fiber optic patch cords.
  • Page 3 ADCP-93-095 • Rev B • April 2018 In a typical application, the LSX panel serves as a splicing and distribution point to transition from Outside Plant (OSP) or Intra Facility Cable (IFC) to inbuilding circuits connected to with patch cords. The panel may be used in either an interconnect or cross-connect configuration, and in either singlemode or multimode applications.
  • Page 4 ADCP-93-095 • Rev B • April 2018 The LSX panel is shipped with pre-terminated, factory-installed ribbon or stranded pigtails. The panel is available in five chassis heights with different numbers of termination positions, as follows: 1.75-inch high with 12 or 24 termination positions; 3.5-inch high with 48 termination positions;...
  • Page 5 ADCP-93-095 • Rev B • April 2018 • Mounting Brackets—may be oriented for either 19-inch or 23-inch rack mount. Every LSX Termination/Splice Panel has a rear splice area such as shown in Figure 3 for the 7- inch panel. The other height panels have analogous features.

  • Page 23: Cross-Connecting To Non-Adjacent Bays

    Patch cords may be routed through upper or lower raceways to non-adjacent bays in an LGX or LSX lineup. As a general rule, patch cords originating in LSX panels located in the upper half of an originating bay are routed to the upper raceway. Conversely, patch cords originating in panels located in the lower half of an originating bay are routed to the lower raceway.
