How to Install Panduit Opticom 6 Port Fiber Adapter Panel

• Plan the installation by identifying a suitable location within a 19-inch rack that provides adequate clearance for cable management and future expansion.
• Power down and verify that all related equipment is properly grounded before mounting any fiber components.
• Align the 6-port fiber adapter panel with the rack rails, ensuring level positioning to prevent misalignment of ports and connectors.
• Secure the panel to the rack using the appropriate screws or mounting hardware designed for your enclosure and rail system.
• Route incoming and outgoing fiber cables through the panel’s integrated guides, following your organization’s labeling scheme and maintaining proper bend radii to protect signal integrity.
• Attach standard fiber adapters into the six ports, taking care to seat connectors fully and verify a snug fit to minimize insertion loss.
• Label each port clearly in the designated labeling area, documenting the corresponding device or network segment for easy troubleshooting and future changes.
• Test connectivity across all ports with appropriate test equipment (OTDR, power meter, or optical loss test set) to confirm performance meets your network specifications.
• Finalize cable slack management by trimming excess length and securing ties or Velcro straps to prevent movement during maintenance or reconfiguration.
• Document the installation in your network asset management system, including panel location, port mappings, and any pertinent model or lot information for future reference.
