The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System accepts two −48 V DC office power
feeders for feeder redundancy from the battery distribution and fuse bay (BDFB)
or equivalent. Figure 4-1 shows how power is distributed in an FT-2000 OC-48
Lightwave System bay. The power feeders are 4.5-foot, 8-gauge power feeder
stubs gutter-tapped to the feeder cables going to the BDFB. There are also 8.5-
and 15-foot, 8-gauge power feeders available for overhead high bay cable racking
and raised-floor applications, respectively. Power feeders can also be ordered to
length.
