Proper Fiber Routing
Observe the following considerations regarding fiber routing:
Poor fiber routing is a major cause of bend radius violations.
Proper fiber routing provides well-defined paths, making it easier to access
individual fibers.
Easy to follow paths aid technicians in performing fiber tracing, testing, and
reconfiguration.
When fiber is not managed, slack fiber tends to become entangled, making
tracing and rearrangement difficult.
The expanded fiber tray provides fiber guides to contain slack fiber. Slack fiber
can be coiled in a circular fashion using the guides on the left side of the tray, or
by routing through the guides on the outer edge of the tray.
The FIBER guides are designed to allow Velcro tie-down straps to be looped
through the posts to further maintain neat fiber placement.
