1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Physical Description

The Quareo High Density Equipment Panel (HDEP) is a fiber optic connector panel with six

access trays, each providing a mounting location for one adapter pack or cabled module. A

single access tray provides 24 LC connections for a panel total capacity of 144 LC connections.

The panel has mounting brackets intended for a 19-inch (48. 26 cm) rack-mount. Extender

brackets

configure the panel for an ETSI or 23-inch (58.42 cm) rack-mount. The panel is

shipped with the ETSI extender brackets already installed. The panel may also be mounted in a

cabinet providing a 19-inch, 23-inch, or ETSI rack mount configuration.

This panel contains electronics that enable connection information to be acquired and supplied

the Infrastructure Configuration Manager (ICM), the central system software of the Quareo

physical layer management system. Refer to Topic 1.2 on Page 5.

Figure 1 shows the main physical features of the 1RU panel, including the following:

• Access

trays—hold adapter packs or cabled modules; open to front or rear of the panel.

• Access

tray doors—protect adapter pack or cabled module when access tray is closed.

• Designation

cards—are used to record cable destinations.

• QR

code—is a label with a pattern recognizable by a visual recognition app on a smart

phone. The QR code causes the smart phone to link to the CommScope Field Support

Link, which contains user instructions specific to the 1RU panel.

• Mounting brackets—are intended for a 19-inch (48. 26 cm) rack-mount. Extender

brackets configure the panel for an ETSI or 23-inch (58.42 cm) rack mount. The panel is

shipped with the ETSI extender brackets installed.

• Cable

management linkage—holds and repositions cables when access trays are opened

or closed to ensure cables are not crimped or misaligned impeding tray movement.

• Rack

offset adjustment slot and rack offset screwdown locations—(on each side of

panel) provides offset options of 3, 4, 5, or 6.5 inches (7.62, 10.24, 12.7, or16.5 cm).

• Grounding

location—provides a mounting stud for a ground wire.

The Quareo HDEP is orderable with universal adapter packs designed to accept a variety of

connector

types. Available adapter pack types include LC-LC and MPO-MPO. For more

information, see Table 1. Adapter packs can be installed from the front or rear by snapping them

into position; no screws or tools are required. Cabled modules (ordered separately) are also

available

for this panel. For more information, see Table 1.

1.2 Panel Electronics

The Quareo HDEP has electronics that enable it to function by ICM in a Quareo physical

management system. A typical Quareo network includes both fiber and copper connector panels

and non-managed representations of the input and output devices (such as switches) to which

cables are connected.

Assuming all connections to the Quareo HDEP are made with managed modules and cables,

these

electronics provide an ICM user with the ability to know, on a real time basis, whether

each port of the Quareo HDEP is connected and to what it is connected (what other equipment

and port). On a network level, the user may plan future connections and disconnections of

equipment assisted by a dynamic schematic view of connectivity of the entire network.

1.3 Status LEDs on Front Panel and Modules

The Quareo HDEP has six Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the front middle of the panel

(Figure 2). These LEDs are identical in function. There is one LED for each access tray. The

LEDs have two states: unlit or lit (green).

FRONT MIDDLE OF PANEL

Figure 2. Status LEDs

TECP-90-801 • Issue 4 • October 2017

Page 6

The status LEDs on the front panel blink green at start-up. If a LED for a particular access tray

does not light at start-up, either there is no module installed in the access try or a module is

present but due to malfunction or mis-seating is unknown to the Quareo system. A blinking

green LED after start-up indicates an individual LED is lit for one of the connectors in the

module installed in that access tray. To identify which LED this is, open the access tray and

check the individual LEDs on the ports.

A LED lit for an individual port indicates that ICM has identified this port as requiring attention

for an active Work Order to be completed. The LED stays on until the entire Work Order is

successfully completed. There can be multiple steps in a Work Order such as Connect two ends

of cable, Disconnect two ends of cable, Insert one end of cable, Extract one end of cable, and so

on. LED blinking is different for Connect and Disconnect Work Orders. For a Connect Work

Order step, LEDs blink green on the two ports that need to be connected. For a Disconnect

Work Order step, LEDs blink yellow on the two ports that need to be disconnected.

A LED for an individual port or all LEDs for all ports on a particular module can also be lit for

identification purposes using the Quareo Panel Interface Web Browser.

3.6 Installing the Management Unit

To install the Management Unit, refer to the separate instructions provided in TECP-90-805,

provided with the unit or via the QR code on the panel. The management unit contains the panel

controller and memory used to store system settings.

3.7 Connecting the Ethernet Cable and AUX Power Cable

Caution: When connecting the equipment to the power sources, check the equipment nameplate

rating to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current protection devices

and supply wiring.

Each panel controller has two potential power sources. One is a Power over Ethernet (

PoE)

source, and the second is AUX power from an external source.

A RJ-45 connection to the panel is required to interface the Ethernet to the end user. Connect an

Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port. If this connection originates at a PoE switch the panel is powered

over the Ethernet connection.

If only a PoE connection is made to the panel, the PoE connection powers the panel and the AUX

power

connection is not required. If both a PoE switch and an AUX power source connection is

made, the AUX power connection powers the controller. If a standard Ethernet (non PoE)

connection is made to the controller, the AUX power connection is required to power the

controller.

A PoE switch and an AUX power supply can simultaneously be connected. A PoE switch is

designed to shut power off when the presence of another power source (AUX power) is present.

If power is not provided through the AUX port, the controller assumes a PoE switch is the

voltage source. During the AUX power application to the controller, the transition from PoE to

AUX is seamless.

If AUX power is discontinued, there is an interruption of power and communications to the

controller

before power is supplied by the PoE switch. Refer to Management Unit Instructions

(TECP-90-806) for AUX power details.

3.8 Connecting the Control Cable

Connect the wiring to the Ethernet RJ45 jack on the PoE switch. Plug the other end of the

Ethernet cable into the controller at the front of the panel.

The Ethernet port supports a maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters) to a switch. Pins 1,

3, and 6 (See Figure 9) are used in 10BASE-T (10Mb/s) and 100BASE-TX (100Mb/s)

networking. Set PoE switch to auto-negotiate, the controller Ethernet port supports 10/100Mb/s.

Figure 9. RJ45 Connector Wiring

When bringing Ethernet cable into the panel, make sure that cable is run vertically along the left

or right side of the bay. Route Ethernet Cable to the rear of the panel. Secure cable to panel

using tie points provided. Leave enough cable slack to make connection to the appropriate

location on the Controller.

Note: All

Ethernet or PoE cabling should be routed away from any sharp edges and

properly secured in place to prevent chafing and to provide strain relief. This may be

achieved by tie-wrapping the wires to the rack frame or by a similar means.

3.9 Connecting the Panel to the Quareo Network

After the Quareo HDEP has been physically installed on the rack, a software procedure must be

performed to access the panel controller and make the controller known on the Quareo network.

This procedure is done using a web browser to access the configuration web pages of the panel

controller. This can be done at the panel by connecting an ethernet cable from a computer to the

RJ-45 port of panel controller to gain network access to the controller. Once the IP address of

the panel is known, the user can input the address of the panel controller into the web browser to

access the configuration pages.

Instructions for performing the software procedure described above can be found in TECP-90-

805,

which is available on the CommScope website.

4 INSTALLING MODULES AND IFC CABLES

Note: Remove the dust cap, inspect, and clean MPO connector per ADCP-96-150

instructions before terminating. Remove the ferrule dust cap from one of the patch cord

connectors and then clean the connector as specified in the Optical Fiber Connector Wet

and Dry Cleaning Instructions (ADCP-90-159) or by locally approved procedures.

Modules available for use in the Quareo 1RU high density panel include the following:

• LC-LC adapter pack

• MPO-MPO adapter pack

• LC-MPO module

• LC cabled module

TECP-90-801 • Issue 4 • October 2017

Page 16

In general, all modules are installed by opening the access tray, snapping the module into place

in the access tray, and routing the fiber cables through the access trays. Instructions unique to

the various module types are provided through QR code access to the CommScope Field

Support Link. This online site contains video, animations, and other information for the specific

module being installed.

The QR code is a label on the front of the panel; the Field Support Link is accessed using a

visual

recognition app on a smart phone.
