3.1 General
This chapter explains in detail the requirements and procedures for the installation of the
Fiber Multiplexer Standalone/Rack Mount Fiber Optical Multiplexer.
3.2 Site Preparation
Install the Fiber Multiplexer within reach of an easily accessible grounded AC outlet. The
outlet should be capable of furnishing 90 to 250 VAC (20 to 60 VDC for DC supply). Allow at least
10cm (4 inch) clearance at the rear and front of the Fiber Multiplexer for signal lines and
interface cables.
3.3 Mechanical Assembly
The Fiber Multiplexer is designed for rack mount installation and only requires 1U space (1
3/4") in a standard EIA 19 or 23 inch rack. It is highly recommended that the unit be placed in a
rack. The Fiber Multiplexer may or may not be delivered completely assembled. No provision is
made for bolting the Fiber Multiplexer to a tabletop.
