E-Series Optical Patch/Splice Storage Tray-Based System
Installation Guide
Chapter 1: Description
1.1 Overview
E-Series is an advanced, fiber optic
cable management system.
The E-Series provides a
central location for fiber
patching, splicing and storage.
Telect engineered the E-Series
for central office (CO), customer
premises or for any ETSI
application where rear access
to equipment is limited or
Figure 1 - ESTF-06TR-4RU
impractical. Cable management
includes articulated links that allow slide-out access to patch adapters mounted on pull-up
carriers in addition to slide-out access to splice cassettes. You can order trays with pull-up
adapters to accommodate 12 or 24 sets of FC, ST, SC, LC or E2000 fiber connectors. Trays are
available with or without preterminated feeder or connectorized pigtails.
1.2 Main Assemblies
•
•
•
•
A chassis (rack shelf) assembly
Any assortment or patch, splice,
combination patch/splice and storage trays
that slide into the chassis assemblies
Routing and protection hardware for
incoming and outgoing fiber cable
Industry-standard, multi-fiber cable
assemblies and pigtail bundles

E-Series Optical Patch/Splice Storage Tray-Based System
Installation Guide
1.3 Chassis Assemblies
E-Series chassis fit standard 485
mm (19-in.) ETSI racks. Each
chassis holds up to six trays:
• 1 RU, 1-Tray Chassis
(Model ESTF-01TR-1RU)
• 2 RU, 3-Tray Chassis
(Model ESTF-03TR-2RU)
• 3 RU, 4-Tray Chassis
(Model ESTF-04TR-3RU)
• 4 RU, 6-Tray Chassis
(Model ESTF-06TR-4RU)
Figure 3 - Model ESTF-06TR-4RU Chassis
Each chassis is black with built-in front entry/exit arcs and tray slide receivers.
M6 rack mounting screws are included. Standard chassis are available in black.
1.4 Trays
Telect offers an assortment of trays for patching, splicing and storage. All trays are black steel with black cable
routing arcs and guides. All trays are front corner cable entry and exit through Telect’s patented, articulated link
system along right and left sides of the trays, forming channels that maintain critical bend-radius control when
trays are extended and retracted.
From the factory, each tray is configured for either 12 or 24 circuits. The following table outlines the number of
possible terminations for each of the four chassis assemblies. Mixing 12 and 24 circuit trays in a single chassis
accounts for any standard IFC and OSP cable capacity. Telect also offers adapter and splice cassette kits to
boost the capacity of 12-circuit patch and splice trays up to 24 circuits.
Chassis Assemblies
ESTF-01TR-1RU
ESTF-03TR-2RU

ESTF-06TR-4RU
12 Terminations per tray, up to
12 Circuits Per Chassis

48 Circuits Per Chassis
72 Circuits Per Chassis
24 Terminations per tray, up to
24 Circuits Per Chassis
72 Circuits Per Chassis
96 Circuits Per Chassis
144 Circuits Per Chassis
In a loaded rack or optical distribution cabinet, such as shown on the cover, a single bay or cabinet can hold as
many as 1440 terminations (10 chassis x 6 trays per chassis x 24 terminations per tray).
The following paragraphs detail some of the forms and features of each Telect E-Series Tray:

1.4.4 Storage Tray
The E-Series Storage Tray (Model ESTR) stores jumper or patch cord slack. Single pass-through storage can
vary in lengths from less than 1 m up to nearly 3 m. Maximum number of jumpers or patch cords depends on
their diameter versus the capacity of the articulated linkage.

linkage near that arc and then temporarily removing the arc, as follows:
a. Open the corresponding tray to access the first
couple of links near the arc.
b. Use a pen or a drift pin (less than 3 mm (~.125
in.) in diameter), insert the point through the

Patch trays with factory-installed, connectorized IFC must be installed on-site. For a pre-cable
patch tray, place tray and cable at rear of rack and separate tray from container. Pre-cabled
panels are mounted on a shipping container surrounded by a coil of cable.
Trays include slides that slip into receivers provided in the chassis. After installing a tray, a stop on the receiver
and a catch on the slide prevent the tray from being removed. Tray slides and chassis receivers are shown in
the following illustration.

Figure 25 - Installing Trays
If you need to remove a tray, fully extend the tray and then gently pry open the plastic catch, shown below,
about 3 mm (~ .125 in.) or just enough to clear the slide stop on the receiver. (Use only about 3 mm but not
more. The catch is easily deformed. If deformed, the catch won’t prevent the tray from slipping out of the
chassis after reinstallation.) If you plan on routinely rearranging the chassis trays — before cabling, of course
— Telect offers a tray removal tool that makes removal easier. Figure 26 shows the tray removal tool in use.

Please read through this entire procedure before beginning. To install cabling:
1. Assign chassis and trays codes on the designation label.
2. Start cabling in the lowest tray (Tray 1), in the lowest Chassis (Chassis 1) and work upward.
3. Dress multi-fiber cabling.
The following illustrations contain breakout specifications for the Telect intra-facility cable (IFC) with 900-μm
fibers and the Telect dry, flexible indoor/outdoor (I/O) cable with 250-μm fibers. The chassis will accommodate
most other types of dry or single-armored multi-fiber cable, with or without a strength member:

E-Series Optical Patch/Splice Storage Tray-Based System
Installation Guide
•
For IFC, best practice suggests using an IFC Breakout Kit along with bend-control protective loose tubing.
(See Section 8, “Accessories.”) The tubing needs to span the distance from the breakout kit, normally
anchored with cable ties to the rack, to the cassette(s).
For robust, large diameter subunits, the feeder cable can be anchored with cable ties directly to the rack,
close by the tray’s entry/exit arc. The subunits are routed directly to the cassette entrance(s).
•
For I/O cable and other types of outside plant (OSP) cable, use a breakout box along with 3 mm (dia.)
bend-control protective tubing. The tubing needs to span the distance between the breakout box, normally
bolted to the rack and the cassette(s). The breakout box also provides an anchor for a strength member
and room for a grounding kit.
•
For total tray entrance on the left (or on the right)1, one set of tubes will need to cross over at the storage
arcs to reach the other side of the cassette. The cross-over set of cables needs to be dressed about 400
mm (~80 in.) longer than the other set. (An example of a cross-over is shown on Page 9.)
The ends of all subunits and loose tubing will be anchored at the cassette entrance where the strands break
out from the tubing.
4. Disassemble the cassette assembly. (Steps continue on page 26.)

5. Start with the bottom cassette (if applicable):
a. Slip on the first splice sleeve, dress and clean the ends of the first fiber pair. Splice pair and
insert sleeve into splice holder, as shown in Figure 31.
b. Continue with the next pair.
The following illustration shows the first splice. In this example, notice that the fiber at the right side of
the top 6-position splice holder and the fiber at the left of the bottom holder will be routed counter-clock
wise in the cassette. Conversely, the top-left and bottom-right fibers will be routed clockwise.
In the example shown:
•
IFC subunits enter the tray from the left and are anchored by two cable ties to the right
side of the cassette.
•
OSP fiber strands in bend-control, protective loose tubing enter the tray on the right
and are anchored by cable ties to the left side of the cassette.

c. When finished with the cassette, bundle all fiber strands for counter-clockwise routing —OSP strands
in this example — and wrap at least twice around the inside of the cassette. Similarly, do the clockwise
(IFC) fibers.
d. When finished with bottom cassette of a 24-port panel, use the straight peg clips to fasten the top
cassette over the bottom.
6. When finished with the top cassette, use right-angle peg clips to reinstall the cover of the
cassette assembly.
7. Resecure the cassette assembly to the tray.
8. Fit lead-in tubing into the linkage and around the four storage arcs adjacent to the cassette assembly:
(Start with the tubing that is least likely to require future access — in this case, the OSP loose tubing.)
Refer to Figure 32.
a. Squeeze the sides of the covered links on the right- and left-side linkages to pop open the covers.
b. Wrap tubes (anchored to the left side of the cassette) twice (counter-clockwise) around the storage
arcs, through the right-side linkage, to the right-side tray entrance.

You can choose to begin with any of the cable sets (IFC, jumpers or patch cords). However, if you
choose to enter feeder, jumpers and patch cords at the same tray entrance, Telect recommends starting
with the IFC first; in short, start with the connector set that you will least likely access again.
6. Remove the dust cover from the corresponding IFC pigtail, jumper or patch cord. Inspect the polish for
dirt. If necessary, see “7.3.1 Cleaning Connectors & Adapters” on page 41 to clean the connector
and/or adapter.
7. Connect the pigtail, jumper or patch cord.
8. Record circuit assignments on designation label.
9. Repeat with Adapter 1 and Connector 1. Then lower that carrier and continue with the next.
10. After a cable set is finished, squeeze the sides of the covered links on the right-and left-side linkages to
pop open the covers.
11. Route the fiber, as shown in Figures 35 and 36.
Store slack on storage trays or interbay hangers, spools, and arc.

E-Series Optical Patch/Splice Storage Tray-Based System
Installation Guide
The following illustrations contain breakout specifications for Telect’s intra-facility cable (IFC) with 900-μm
fibers and Telect’s dry, flexible indoor/outdoor (I/O) cable with 250-μm fibers. The chassis will accommodate
most other types of dry or single-armored multi-fiber cable, with or without a strength member:
•
For IFC, best practice suggests using an IFC Breakout Kit along with bend-control, protective loose tubing.
(See Section 8, “Accessories.”) The tubing needs to span the distance from the breakout kit, normally
anchored with cable ties to the rack, to the cassette(s).
For robust, large diameter subunits, the feeder cable can be anchored with cable ties directly to the rack,
close by the tray’s entry/exit arc. The subunits are routed to the cassette entrance(s).
•
For I/O cable and other types of outside plant (OSP) cable, you must use a Breakout Box along with 3 mm
(dia.) bend-control protective tubing. (See Section 8, “Accessories.”) The tubing needs to span the distance
between the breakout box, normally bolted to the rack and the cassette(s).
The breakout box also provides an anchor for a strength member and room for a grounding kit.
The ends of all subunits and loose tubing will be anchored at the cassette entrance where the strands break
out from the tubing.

5. Start with the bottom cassette (if applicable):
a. Slip on the first splice sleeve, dress and clean the ends of the first fiber pair.
b. Splice the pair and insert the sleeve into the splice holder.
c. Continue with the next pair.
Figures 41 and 42 show the first splice between the first feeder and first pigtail strands.
Notice that the feeder fiber at the top right side of the top 6-position splice holder and the
fiber at the left side of the bottom holder will be routed counter-clockwise in the cassette.
Conversely, the top-left and bottom-right pigtail fibers will be routed clockwise.

•
IFC subunits or OSP strands in bend-controlled protective loose tubing enter the tray from
the left and are anchored by two cable ties to the lower-left entrance of the cassette.
•
Connectorized 900-μm pigtails, whether factory installed or constructed on-site, enter the
upper-left entrance of the cassette.
d. When finished with the cassette, bundle all fiber strands for counter-clockwise routing — feeder strands in
this example — and wrap at least twice around the inside of the cassette.
Similarly, do the counter-clockwise (pigtail) fibers.
e. Use two cable ties to anchor the feeder subunit or loose tube to the lower-left entrance of the cassette.
f. Use the strain-relief insertion tool to insert the 900-μm pigtails into the 12-position holder positioned at the
upper-left entrance of the cassette.
g. When finished with bottom cassette of a 24-port panel, use the straight peg clips to fasten the top cassette
over the bottom.

connector and/or adapter.
c.
d.
e.
f.
Connect the pigtail connector.
Record feeder assignments on designation label.
Repeat with Adapter 1 and Connector 1. Then lower that carrier and continue with the next.
Route the fiber, as shown in Figure 43.
12. Repeat Step 11 for the jumpers or patch cords entering the tray on the right.
13. Close the link covers on the right-side linkage.
14. When finished with all cabling, use a piece of split tubing and one or two cable ties to anchor the patch
cords and/or jumpers to the entry/exit arc. This provides strain relief from heavy interbay cable loads.
15. Make sure all link covers are closed before closing tray. Open and close the tray to check for binding.
Store the slack on storage trays or interbay hangers, spools, and
arcs. If the slack is stored on an interbay hanger, Telect recommends
using a short piece of split tubing and a cable tie to anchor the
patch cords/jumpers to the entry arc. This provides strain relief
from heavy interbay cable loads.
Slots in the entry arc
accommodate one or two
cable ties.

description of the problem.
2. Use the original shipping container if possible. If you do not have it, package the equipment in a way to
prevent shipping damage. Include the RMA inside the container and legibly print the RMA number on the
outside of the package, near the shipping address.
3. Insure the package. Telect is not liable for shipping damage.
7.3 Maintenance
7.3.1 Cleaning Connectors & Adapters
The major causes for poor performance (high insertion loss) are 1) attenuation due to overly sharp or too many
close radius bends in the fiber cable, 2) loose connections and 3) dirty connectors or adapters. If you
experience insertion loss greater than 25 dB, check for sharp bends and loose connections. Clean all polished
ferrules on pigtails and both ends of the patch cord or jumper.
Though Telect includes dust caps with all adapters and connectors, it isn’t always possible to ensure that fiber
ferrules stay clean. If you need to clean connectors and adapters, Telect recommends many of the fine
systems and solutions available commercially. Special formulation for cleaning fiber faces allows the
commercial solvent to stay liquid long enough to dissolve impurities quickly and thoroughly, yet evaporate
quickly after wiping dry. Always allow the ferrules to air dry thoroughly before reconnection. You may use
“canned air” to clean away debris initially, but don’t use an aerosol after cleaning polished surfaces.
Most aerosols contain contaminants.

If a commercial solution isn’t available, you may use
reagent-grade ethyl alcohol, nominally USP ≥ 99%, available
at pharmacies:
1. Remove both connectors from the adapter.
2. Blow compressed gas (compressed air or canned
compressed gas that is clean, dry and oil-free) through
the adapter.
3. Moisten a lint-free wipe with the ethyl alcohol.
4. Wipe completely around the ferrule of the connector twice.
Repeat with a dry wipe.
5. Moisten the center area of a third wipe and pass the face of the ferrule from the moistened area outward
toward the dry area. Do twice.
6. Allow ferrule to air dry. Do not wipe the ferrule or allow it to touch anything after completion of this step and
before the ferrule is inserted into the adapter. Do not cover with a dust cap.
7. Insert the connector into the adapter.
8. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 for each connector.
7.3.2 Adapter Replacement
NOTES:
•
•
•
Adapter replacement will interrupt service on
working circuits.
You need to remove the top adapter to access and
remove a bottom adapter.
When inserted in the carrier, the keyways on SC
adapters should always be on top.
1. Open the tray.
2. Pull up the adapter carrier.
3. If not marked, mark the connectors for reconnection
before removing fiber cables on top and bottom adapters.
4. If necessary, cover the cable connectors with clean
dust caps.
5. See the following illustration and use a small
screwdriver to push in the barbs on each side
of the top adapter while jockeying the top adapter
out of the carrier.
