Need help?Do you have a question about the CommScope 760230938 and is the answer not in the manual?
The CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter is a robust and versatile solution designed for managing fiber optic connections in various environments. This device serves as a transition box (TB) for powered fiber cable (PFC) termination, facilitating the secure and organized integration of fiber optic cables. It is engineered to accommodate up to six (6) PFC channels, each consisting of two power conductors (+ and -) and one duplex fiber connection (TX/TR). The TB is designed for both indoor use and may be located in the plenum space, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from residential to commercial settings.
The primary function of the CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter is to provide a secure and organized termination point for powered fiber cables. It acts as a crucial interface between the incoming PFC and the internal wiring of a building or structure. The device is designed to manage both the electrical power conductors and the optical fiber connections, ensuring reliable data transmission and power delivery. It supports QWIK-FUSE FUSE Field Installable LC Connector Kits, simplifying the installation process and ensuring compatibility with standard fiber optic components. The furcation tubing is required for proper installation, protecting the delicate fiber strands.
The CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter is available in several configurations, each with specific technical specifications to meet diverse installation requirements. The product numbers and their corresponding descriptions, fiber mode, and color are detailed in the manual. For instance, models like 760230938, 760230946, and 760230953 are 360Dpis-12LC-LS, 360Dpis-12LC-SM, and 360Dpis-12LC-SM respectively, with fiber modes of MM, SM, and SM, and colors of AQUA, BLUE, and GRAY. Other models, such as 760230961 and 760236043, are 360Dpis-12LC-SM and 360Dpis-12LC-WB, with fiber modes of SM and MM, and colors of LIME GREEN and GREEN. The device supports various cable types, including 12 AWG (or larger) ground wire for proper grounding. The power conductors can range from 12 AWG (2.0mm) to 24 AWG (0.5mm), accommodating different power requirements. The fiber slack is typically 1-1.5 meters, ensuring sufficient length for routing and termination. The device is designed to meet the pull-out requirement of 20 lbs-f (88 N) per hardware location, ensuring secure cable retention.
The CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter is designed for ease of installation and use. The installation process involves several key steps, including mounting and grounding the transition box, attaching the ground wire, securing the ground wire to the strain relief bar, and inserting the fiber adapter into the G2 opening. The device features mounting knockouts for flexible installation options. The terminal strip provides clear points for connecting the power conductors. The design allows for routing the incoming PFC into the TB and securing it to the strain relief bar with a supplied cable tie. The outer jacket of the PFC is stripped to expose the power conductors and fiber components, which are then terminated. The device supports various methods for stripping the insulated power conductors, including using an electrical wire stripper or a small flat screwdriver. The LC Fiber Optic plugs are terminated according to product specifications and tool kit information. The device also includes features for cleaning and installing LC terminations, with specific instructions provided in the TECP-96-194 document. Furcation tubing is used to protect coated fiber, and various colors are available for identification. The cover of the transition box is secured with loose screw heads, and a warning label is placed outward and slid into place, then tightened.
Maintenance of the CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter primarily involves ensuring proper installation and periodic checks to maintain optimal performance. The device is designed for durability and long-term reliability, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. Key maintenance aspects include:
The CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adapter is a comprehensive solution for managing powered fiber optic connections, offering a blend of robust design, flexible installation, and straightforward maintenance to ensure reliable performance in diverse environments.
