6 INSTALLING AND ROUTING CABLES

Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters of the adapter
packs. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be used to
verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating
adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Caution: Placing a load in excess of 5 pounds (2.3 kg) onto an open tray will result in
misalignment or damage to the tray.

Routing and Securing Cables

The FMT may be configured to provide termination and storage, storage only, or termination
and splice functions. For each configuration, the fiber optic cables or patch cords are routed to
the FMT, installed within the sliding tray, and secured.
All cables enter the FMT through one of the two sliding entry points, located on the left and
right sides of the FMT. When properly installed, the slack loop that forms when the FMT is
closed is taken up within the FMT by movement of the sliding radius limiter.
