How to install Panduit HD Flex LC Splice Cassette, 6-Port

Installing the 6-Port HD Flex LC Splice Cassette is designed to be straightforward within Panduit’s high-density fiber-infrastructure ecosystem. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure, organized, and reliable deployment:

• Power down and prepare the workspace, verifying that the enclosure is accessible and that you have the appropriate HD-Flex mounting hardware and mounting rails ready for cassette insertion.
• Open the enclosure and inspect the cassette slot to confirm it aligns with the 6-port HD-Flex format; verify that the adapter bays are clean and free of debris before installation.
• Mount the 6-Port cassette into the designated slot, ensuring a snug, locked fit that maintains proper alignment with the adapter frames and cable management guides.
• Route your non-pigtailed fiber cables as required by your plan, keeping paths tidy and avoiding sharp bends; LC pigtails must be sourced separately, as they are not included with the cassette.
• Connect the fiber pigtails or pre-terminated assemblies to the duplex LC adapters in the cassette, following your labeling and documentation standards to preserve traceability and ease future maintenance.
• Secure the cassette, close the enclosure cover, and perform a basic continuity and integrity check to verify proper connectivity; label ports and document the new topology for asset management.
• Conduct a final inspection and test under normal operating conditions to confirm stable signal levels, then finalize any cabling organization to minimize strain and maximize airflow and accessibility inside the enclosure.
