The Cisco ONS 15454 fiber patch panel shelf (FPPS) is designed to enables easy end-user access to single channels from the multi-fiber connectors that are used on the 32-channel multiplexer and demultiplexer cards for Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP deployments. The FPPS supports the coupling of 64 LC to LC connections, providing a transitioning point from up to eight, 8-fiber MPO to LC cable assemblies from two MSTP multiplexer or demultiplexer cards to 64 client interface jumper cables. The FPPS is engineered to protect both single and ribbon fiber cables from bend induced losses through the use of large radius fiber routing reels and bend limiting fiber entrance hardware. A pull-out drawer allows access to the fiber connector and routing areas and, when closed, protects the fiber connections from accidental damage or disconnection.
