AGL Panel
General
The AGL panel is designed for use in rack, which has a faceplate. It can be installed with G2 modules and fiber
management trough. The G2 modules and fiber management trough must be purchased separated. These
panels are intended for indoor use, but may be used outdoors in a suitable enclosure.

Quantity Description
1 Shelf assembly (fixed or sliding)
4 #12-24 x 1/2-inch screws for 19-inch and 23-inch (483mm) rack mounting
! Important Safety Cautions
• Disconnected optical components may emit invisible optical radiation that can damage your eyes.
Never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. Serious and
permanent retinal damage is possible. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a
physician for an eye examination.
• Wearing safety glasses during installation of this shelf is recommended. Although standard safety
glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental
airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.

using cable tie or hook-and-loop strip. Leave approximately 48-inch (2.1m) length of cable to route into
shelf.
2. Fiber cables may enter shelf from either right side, left side or rear apron. Carefully loop fiber cable to rear of
shelf on either side and continue to feed cable over top of rear apron. Loosely secure cable to rear of shelf
as shown above, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
3. Temporarily store slack fibers in shelf.
4. Remove plug from appropriate size opening in shelf to accommodate cable gland on fiber cable.
Select an opening on rear apron or either right or left side that will be most advantageous for cable entry.
5. Completely loosen gland nut from cable gland.

6. Feed fibers and subunit tubes through opening in shelf and temporarily coil fibers loosely inside shelf.
7. Rotate gland nut as required to allow it to pass through opening and enter shelf.
Note: It may be necessary to temporarily remove a plug from an adjacent opening to provide sufficient
clearance for gland nut to be inserted through opening.
8. Insert threaded body of cable gland into opening and tighten gland nut onto threaded section to secure
cable gland unit to shelf.

Instruction Sheet
Method A
1. Working back from where the fiber cable enters shelf (at a cable gland), carefully loop cable over rear fiber
management bar and then to outside of shelf slide on opposite side of panel from cable entry point as
shown. Maintain cable in as small of a radius as possible while not exceeding minimum bend radius for
cable. Secure fiber cable to shelf slide in at least two places using cable ties or hook-and-loop strips
threaded through slots and punches provided in rails. Do not secure cables to fiber management bar.
2. From shelf slide, route cable to equipment rack and loosely secure cable to rack upright approximately 3
inches (76mm) above or below shelf, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
Note: Do not exceed minimum bend radius for fiber cable.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.
Method B
Note: This method reduces the slack loop length at rear of shelf but it requires an open space of at least 1U
above a 1U shelf to work. 2U shelves do not have this restriction.
1. Working back from where the fiber cable enters shelf (at a cable gland), carefully loop cable over rear fiber
management bar and then across shelf slide on opposite side of chassis from cable entry point as shown.
Maintain cable in as small of a radius as possible while not exceeding the minimum bend radius for the
cable. Do not secure cables to fiber management bar or drawer slide.
2. Route cable to equipment rack and loosely secure cable to rack upright approximately 3 inches (76mm)
above or below shelf, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.
4. Figure below shows typical fiber loop when shelf is retracted.

Splice Tray Kit (760241378, ordered separately)
The stackable splice tray’s L x W x H is 220mm x 102mm x 10.2mm and its capacity is as below:
Cable type Store capacity Splice capacity SMOUV holder type SMOUV layer
0.25mm single fiber 48F 48F SMOUV 1120-1 L=45mm
or Single layer for (Max 24F)
0.9mm single cable 48F 48F SMOUV 1120-2 L=60mm Dual layer for (Max 48F)
The transparent plastic top cover is snapped on to protect the routed fiber and splices while providing optimum
visibility for inspection. Multiple trays could be snapped and stacked directly. Hinged design is also for easily
operation and maintenance.
This product can be used indoor or outdoor in a suitable protective enclosure.
Note: Sample product image is shown as Figure 1.

Instruction Sheet
Step 1 – Prepare tray kits for splicing
1. Remove the cover from the tray kit, also remove the film if there’s film on the cover as shown Figure 3.
Figure 3
2. It is recommended to use same side tray cable entrances for the pigtails entry, the other side for
incoming cables. For example, for the pigtails, we could use the back side two cable entrances, the
back-left side for 24F 0.9mm single cables, back-right side for another 24F. For the incoming cables,
use the front side cable entrance, the front-right side for 48F cables if they are from the left side opening
of shelf, otherwise use the front-left side, as Figure 4.
Figue 4
Step 2 – Prepare the pigtails with LC/SC connectors for splicing
1. Be sure sufficient slack exists for pigtails inside the shelf when the splicing tray used.
2. Twine foam around 24F pigtails after reserving approximately 500mm length of cables for splicing.
Choose the back-right side tray cable entrance for cable entry.
3. Using the provided nylon tie wrap, loop it through the slot in the tray and around foam. Tighten cable tie
for fixture. Make sure the head of the cable tie is on the bottom side of the foam, as Figure 5.

www.commscope.com 860456664
Instruction Sheet
4. Route fibers in the tray, use foam to hold it temporary if needed as Figure 5. While splicing, first batch
12F as the first layer, second batch 12F as the second layer put in the SMOUV holder A.
Figue 5
5. Twine foam around another 24F pigtails after reserving approximately 250mm length of cables
for splicing. Choose the back-left side tray cable entrance for cable entry.
6. Using the provided nylon tie wrap, loop it through the slot in the tray and around foam. Tighten
cable tie for fixture. Make sure the head of the cable tie is on the bottom side of the foam, as
Figure 6.
7. Route fibers in the tray and use foam to hold it temporary if needed as Figure 6. While splicing,
first batch 12F as the first layer, second batch 12F as the second layer put in SMOUV holder B.
Figure 6
Step 3 – Prepare Incoming Cable for Splicing
1. Be sure sufficient slack exists for 900µm incoming cables inside the shelf when the splicing tray used.
2. Twine foam around 48F single cables after reserving approximately 250mm length of cables for splicing.
Choose the back-right side tray cable entrance for cable entry, assumed the cable is from the left side
opening of the shelf as Figure 7; otherwise, choose the back-left side tray cable entrance.
3. Using the provided nylon tie wrap, loop it through the slot in the tray and around foam. Tighten cable tie
for fixture. Make sure the head of the cable tie is on the bottom side of the foam as Figure 7.

Step 4 – Splicing, install the tray tabs, install the cover
1. Splice 48F fibers per related instructions. Route spliced fibers into tray and secure SMOUVs in
SMOUV holders before continuing with splicing. Splicing finished is shown as Figure 8.
Figure 8
2. Install the four tabs and ensure no fibers are snagged, pinched in the tray, then install the cover as
Figure 9.
Figure 9
Note: It is recommended to splice in one layer in the SMOUV holder if no more than total 24F fibers splicing
application in a tray.
