Contact your SYSTIMAX
sales representatives for more information on a wide variety of trunk cables and
accessories that are compatible with these shelves.
Please note that some portions of the instructions will already be completed on preloaded shelf
assemblies.
Precautions
• InstaPATCH 360 modules contain fiber optic cable and passive optical components. When removed from
protective packing, they should be handled carefully and installed in appropriate racks for mechanical
support and protection.
• InstaPATCH 360 modules require virtually no maintenance to maintain their performance. They contain no
user-serviceable components, and any damage to the anti-tamper label or removal of top cover or front
adapter mounting panel will void the warranty.
• Fiber optic cable and jumper performance is sensitive to bending, pulling, and crushing. Minimum bend
radius must be maintained during installation per the manufacturer’s specification. Appropriate pulling grips
must be used during installation, and pulling forces shall not exceed manufacturer’s recommendations. Use
caution to avoid kinking cables.
•
Care should be taken not to compromise the stability of the rack by installation of this equipment.
•
To be installed in restricted access areas only.
Cautions
• Shelves preloaded with modules or panels require two persons to install to rack or cabinet.
• Isopropyl alcohol is flammable, and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush with
water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well ventilated areas
• 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.

Connector Cleaning
• InstaPATCH 360 UHD modules are pre-terminated, with protective spring-loaded shutters (LC) installed on
all adapters. Connectors internal to the adapters are clean when purchased.
• Clean cable and jumper connectors per manufacturer’s recommendations prior to connection to the shelf.
• If cables or jumpers are removed, replace provided dust caps on the adapters to protect the internal
connectors.

1. Fully extend sliding shelf to front of rack.
Note: The shelf sliding mechanism incorporates two sets of position stops: one for normal operation and a
second for installation purposes. When pulling the shelf out, it will stop at the first operation cam stop.
Disengage this first stop by actuating the levers on both sides of shelf slide mechanism, allowing shelf to be
pulled out to its fully extended position for installation purposes as shown.
Shelf in Fully Open Position
2. Cables may enter shelf from either right side, left side, or rear apron. Carefully loop cable to rear of shelf on
either side and continue to feed cable over top of rear apron.
3. Temporarily store slack fibers in shelf.
4. Remove plug from appropriate size opening in shelf to accommodate cable gland on cable. Select an
opening on rear apron or either right or left side panel that will be most advantageous for cable entry.
5. Completely loosen gland nut from cable gland.
6. Feed MPO connector(s) and subunit tube(s) through opening in shelf and temporarily coil fibers loosely in
fiber shelf.
7. Rotate gland nut as required to allow it to pass through selected 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.
Note: The two recommended methods (Method A and Method B) for routing fiber cable from sliding shelf to
equipment rack are described below. Method B routing requires a minimum of 1U open rack space above the
360 shelf.
Method A
1. Working back from where cable enters shelf (at 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 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 cable to fiber management bar.
Note: Do not exceed minimum bend radius for fiber cable.
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.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.

Method B
1. Working back from where cable enters shelf (at cable gland), carefully dress cable toward opposite side of
shelf. Route cable over slide rail, taking care to not exceed minimum bend radius.
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.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.

If cables enter shelf from opposite sides, loosely secure them together at the point where the cables meet in
center, using a hook-and-loop strip as shown.
2. Verify shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding to next step.
For splice shelf instructions, proceed to “Instructions for Fusion Splicing”, Steps 8 thru 10.
Step 3 – Module Configuration
(Modules shown below have been preconfigured per instruction sheet 860479179, provided with the
modules.)
Note: InstaPATCH 360 UHD modules must be configured as shown below for proper polarity. Identical
modules are used at both ends of cable, but module orientation is inverted from end to end. Module at one end
of trunk cable must be oriented in “ALPHA” configuration, while module at opposite end of cable must be
oriented in “BETA” configuration.
Preloaded shelves come with modules pre-installed in ALPHA or BETA orientation or adapter panels installed in
the key-up orientation. Troughs are packaged separately; assemble trough with spring clips in the up position to
each of the three modules or panels using the provided #8 panhead screws.

Step 4 – Mount Modules/Panel in Shelf
Before installing modules/panels be sure any pre-installed cable sub-units are behind pivot mount panels and
provide enough clearance for panel installation.
Module/Panel Installation
1. Insert panel/module at an angle into one
side of side of the shelf so that pivot lock
pin engages in hole in pivot mounting
bracket. Be sure panel/module is oriented
with the trough opening facing up. Install
lowest panel first.
2. Pivot other side of panel/module down into
shelf so that the pivot lock pin is in back of
the pivot bracket.
Note: Panel/module pivot lock pin can only
be inserted from the rear of pivot mounting
bracket.
3. Depress the lever arm on the pivot
mounting bracket and slide
panel/module forward until pivot lock
pin engages the hole in pivot mounting
bracket.
4. Release lever arm of pivot mounting
bracket to secure the panel/module in
place.
Subsequent panels, up to three total in the
1U shelf, may be installed on top of the
base module/panel following the
instructions above for each panel using
progressively higher pivot pin positions.

Step 5 – Connect Fiber Cables to Modules
1. Store slack fiber cable in shelf as
shown behind modules in loops.
Important: Leave sufficient slack in
fiber cable to plug MPO connectors
into modules and leave
enough room for modules to pivot into
up position. Do not exceed minimum
bend radius for fiber cable.
2. Install adhesive backed fiber routing
clips to floor of shelf and secure routed
fiber cable with Mille-Ties or hook-and-
loop fastener strips.
3. Install MPO connections to InstaPATCH modules, plug each MPO connector into back of module as shown
above.
• LC Ports 1-6
→MPO Port 1
• LC Ports 7-12
→MPO Port 2
• LC Ports 13-18
→MPO Port 3
• LC Ports 19-24→ MPO Port 4
Note: Use triangular holes in bottom of shelf tray to gain better access to bottom module MPO connections.
Step 6 – Install Cover
1. Remove protective film from cover before installing.
2. From front of shelf, position cover between upper
and lower sets of tabs on each side of shelf behind
modules. Bend cover slightly up in the middle to
engage tabs and slide into place.

Step 7 – Install Patch Cords with Cord Management Sleeve
The 360G2 UHD shelf provides a unique patch cord access feature of pivoting panels/modules that allow the
product to achieve a very high density of fiber connection. The top and middle panels pivot up and slide slightly
back into up locking positions. To gain access to fiber patch cords the shelf must be in the extended out position
and the panels in the pivoted up position. In order to provide this access a cord management sleeve can be
implemented to control a proper slack loop in the fiber patch cords.

1. Position fiber shelf tray in extended position (slide out).
2. Pivot top panel and then middle panel into up locked position.
3. Install fiber patch cords into ports as needed. Route patch cords under spring clamps on trough and install
hook-and-loop fastener around patch cords and through slots at trough exit.
4. Place fiber patch cords into management sleeve, wrap, and fasten hoop-and-loop fastener running the
length of Management Sleeve.
5. The Management Sleeve may be additionally tied off in rack or cabinet vertical by using the rear webbings
and cable ties. Management sleeve may be route up, down, or straight back into vertical. Patch cords must
be secured while shelf is in open position.
6. Connect Fiber Patch Cord Management Sleeve to shelf by cable tying large front webbing loop of sleeve to
cable tie slot on front and side of shelf. Use one sleeve for routing patch cords to right and one sleeve for
routing patch cords to left.
Important: Sufficient slack must be created with the cable management sleeve and patch cords
as to allow shelf to be extended and opened for patch cord access. Do not secure patch cords further when
shelf is in the closed position.
7. Place shelf into operational position in rack/cabinet. Pull middle panel out slightly to disengage angle position
lock feature and pivot into down position. Repeat for top panel. Slide shelf tray into back rack/cabinet.

WARNING
Take proper precautions to avoid damaging fiber while routing into shelf and splice tray.
Note: Splice trays must be built up on a work surface (e.g. a table, as shown above) outside of shelf. This will
insure that sufficient buffer tube slack length is available for temporary tray relocation if subsequent splice repairs
are required. It is important for all buffer tubes to be approximately the same length and to enter shelf in the
same location to facilitate manageable spooling of slack loop into shelf for tray installation.
• Keep buffer tubes on rearward-facing side of splice tray so as to keep patchcord exit ports as unobstructed
as possible. Use cable ties provided to restrain buffer tubes to tie-down rails on tray.
• Tray is designed for 3mm and 4mm buffer tube diameters. Larger diameter tubes may have to be trimmed
back before tray entry, if density is prohibitive.
• Splice tray is sized to contain up to 1 meter (39”) each of pigtail fiber and fiber from the OSP cable.
• 40mm splice protector sleeves are recommended when using 900 micron fiber from OSP cable. As tray fills
up with fiber, it may become difficult to maintain proper bend radii at splices when using 60mm sleeves.
860479229
Instruction Sheet
www.commscope.com
Page 14 of 15
• Install splice sleeves into lower position of holders by firmly pressing them down into retention features with 2
index fingers. One finger is sufficient for placing sleeves into the upper (stacked) position. Use orange stick
or similar device to remove sleeves for repairs. Press down on the holder to support it when removing a
splice sleeve.
• Wind patchcord groups in opposite directions (clockwise & counter-clockwise) inside tray to keep lengths
exiting tray consistent for better dressing at termination. Use hook and loop ties to bundle and restrain
pigtails, as required.
Step 9 – Install Tray into Shelf
Buffer tube slack loop
Terminate pigtails
1. Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and lint-free wipes to clean floor of shelf.
2. Gently, lift and position tray and fiber as desired (UHD positioning is shown above) into shelf. Remove paper
backing from splice tray and press down on tray firmly at several locations around its perimeter to insure that
adhesive contacts shelf surface as desired.
3. Spool buffer tube slack behind tray and use cable ties to attach it at the external buffer tube tie-down points
as required.
4. Terminate pigtails into adapters.
5. Remove protective plastic film from both sides and install top cover by pressing it down onto 6 snap features
on holders. It is easiest to start at center locations and work out.
Note: Top cover removal is accomplished by depressing snap features one at a time and lifting up on the cover.
Use of finger nails or an orange stick (or similar device) is recommended.
Note: Splice tray has an adhesive backing for attachment to shelf floor. Remove paper backing to expose.
Leave backing in place on all additional trays when used in a stacked configuration.
If additional trays are to be used, proceed to Step 10.

Step 10 – Building Up and Stacking Trays
Note: Do NOT remove paper backing from adhesive on bottom of additional trays.
1. Align 4 holes on base (provided for plastic hardware) with 4 holes on elevated platforms of previous tray.
Additional trays must be rotated 180
°
from the previous tray orientation.
2. Install snap rivet grommets and plungers.
3. Install top cover.
4. Repeat as required.
Note: Three trays may be used in a 1U shelf for a total of 144 fusion splices. Six trays may be used in a 2U shelf
for a total of 288 fusion splices and twelve trays may be used in a 4U shelf for a total of 576 fusion splices.
