Installing the FCM-6800 or FCD-6800 Series All the components are enclosed in a metal box that fits into the frame card guides. The FCM-6800 or FCD-6800 series latch to the rear module to prevent accidental removal when the fiber optic cables are installed. This section outlines how to install a FCM-6800 or FCD-6800 series in a DFR-8321 series frame. -
Page 21: Cabling For The Fcm-6800 And Fcd-6800 Series
The limited space between connectors and the accumulated fiber optic cables around the rear modules makes it difficult to gain access to individual connectors. Ross Video supplies an Optic Cable Tool to assist in the installing and removal of individual fiber optic LC connectors. The Optic Cable Tool can be used with single-latch, dual-latch, and duplex-latch connectors. - Page 22 Installing a Fiber Optic Cable Use the following procedure to install a fiber optic cable using the Optic Cable Tool: 1. Ensure the dust caps are removed from the cable connectors and the rear module adapter. 2. Position the bottom lip of the Optic Cable Tool on the connector boot, ensuring that the top lip makes contact just behind the notch at the end of the latch.
- Page 23 Figure 2.6 Positioning the Optic Cable Tool — Single-Latch Connector 2. Gently squeeze the handles of the Optic Cable Tool to compress the latch. Caution — Do not apply excess pressure when installing or removing the connector. Doing so may damage the latch, the connector, or both. 3.
