Mounting the SNAP Patch Panel - Rear Surface Mount Option
The SNAP Patch panel is shipped with the DIN-Rail clip pre-installed for a rear
DIN-Rail mount. In order to surface mount the Patch Panel:
1. Using a 2.5mm Hex Wrench, remove the two hex-nuts securing the DIN-Rail
clip on the rear of the SNAP Patch Panel as seen in Figure 7 and Figure 8.
2. Unfasten the faceplate from the SNAP Patch Panel using the hex wrench
provided in the packaging.
3. Remove the faceplate from the SNAP Patch Panel, as seen in Figure 9, to
allow access to the rear of the Patch Panel.
4. Use surface mount hardware (not included) to mount the SNAP Patch Panel
to the surface using the four pre-drilled mounting holes in the rear of the
SNAP Patch Panel.
5. Replace the faceplate onto the SNAP Patch Panel.
Connecting Field Fiber Optic Cable - Patch Option
After mounting the SNAP Patch Panel to the DIN-Rail or surface as described above:
1. Loosen cable gland (Maximum eld cable diameter 12mm) to allow eld distribution
cable to enter the SNAP Patch Panel. Loosen the cable gland(s) that you will be
using, and pass the eld ber optic cable through the gland as seen in Figure 10.
2. Terminate the appropriate termination hardware to the eld ber optic strands
taking care to match the termination hardware to the interior adapter style of the
SNAP faceplate. See table below:
3. After securing the eld connectors to the interior adapter interfaces of the SNAP faceplate, close
the faceplate and secure it with the two hex nuts provided.
4. Tighten the cable gland to create a seal against the eld ber cable.
