INTRODUCTION
This manual contains a description and installation guidelines for the LGX-Compatible (LSX)
Homerun Splitter Solution Using LSX 288 Termination Panels. This configuration consists of
four 288-position termination or termination/splice panels, two 24-position splitter chassis, two
splitter output cable “parking lots,” and related cable management equipment mounted on a
seven-foot network rack. An alternate configuration, also documented in this panel, replaces the
two-rack-unit parking lot in the first configuration with a one-rack-unit parking lot and a onerack-unit tie panel. This alternate configuration provide a means to route splitter output cables
to a termination panel on another rack.
Note: This manual documents a particular application of the LSX 288 panel. The catalog
numbers of the products are listed in Table 1 on Page 6. For more information, see
Related Publications below. For personal assistance, contact the ADC Technical
Assistance Center (1-800-366-3891, extension 73475).
Note: This manual covers spatial arrangement of the components on the rack; cabling
between components; and storage of splitter output cables in parking lots on the rack. Note
that this manual does not cover rack installation and mounting of the components on the
rack. It is assumed that the rack and rack components being installed have their own
documentation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Homerun Splitter Solution is an assembly consisting of four LSX 288 termination panels,
two splitter chassis, two splitter output cable “parking lots,” and related cable management
mounted on a seven-foot network rack. Figure 1 indicates the overall function of this assembly.
As shown, feeder fibers from an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) are terminated at plug and play
splitters in the splitter chassis to multiply output signals. Splitter output cables carrying
individual output signals are stored temporarily in the parking lot until connected to the LSX
termination panel to route them to a specific subscriber.

An alternate rack configuration is available for routing splitter output cables from a splitter
chassis on one rack to a termination panel on another rack, or to a termination panel on the other
half of the same rack. This configuration features a one-rack-unit parking lot (1RU) and a onerack-unit tie panel.

MAIN COMPONENTS
Figure 2 shows the main components of the stand-alone The components are:
• Network Rack—is a seven-foot tall unequal flange rack with WECO hole spacing.
• Interbay Management Panel (IMP)—provides storage space for splitter output cables.
• Parking Lot—provides temporary termination of splitter output cables. This parking lot
occupies two rack units.
45
Note: An alternate configuration containing a one-rack-unit parking lot and a one-rackunit tie panel, in place of the two-rack-unit parking lot, provides a means to route splitter
output cables to a termination panel on another rack.
• Splitter Chassis—supports 24 plug and play splitter modules. In a typical application, a
feeder cable from an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) is terminated at this panel and the
individual signals are split out into multiple outputs. Each splitter position has two input
ports to accommodate 2xn splitters; the standard splitter used is 1x32.
• Plug and Play Splitter—splits an input signal into multiple identical outputs. Splitters are
available with different split ratios depending on customer need.
• LSX 288 Termination Panel—provides 288 termination points for splitter output cables.
In this application, splitter output cables are terminated at the front of the termination
bulkhead. Connectorized distribution fibers to individual network subscribers are
terminated at the rear of the bulkhead.
• LSX 288 Termination/Splice Panel—(not shown) has the same front features as the LSX
288 termination panel with a splice compartment in the rear of the panel. In this
application, splitter output cables are terminated at the front of the termination bulkhead,
as in the termination only panel. Pre-connectorized internal pigtails transition to the splice
deck where they are spliced to distribution fibers.
45
Note: Due to the additional space required for the splice deck, the termination/splice panel
has an 18-inch (45.72 cm) depth and must be used with a network rack having an frame
rear guard box, which gives the rack an 18-inch deep footprint.
• End Guard—(not shown) protects the beginning and the ends of each lineup.
• Frame Rear Guard Box—(not shown) protects the bottom rear surface of the network
rack. It is used when the configuration includes LSX 288 termination/splice panels.
• IMP Rear Guard Box—(not shown) protects the bottom rear surface of the IMP. It is
only when the configuration includes LSX 288 termination/splice panels.

INSTALLING SPLITTER OUTPUT CABLES
Splitter output cables are installed on the front side of the LSX panel. The function of these
cables is to route splitter outputs to the distribution cable fibers terminated on the rear side of the
panel. Unassigned splitter output cables can be stored temporarily in the parking lot.
Note: To route cables to a termination panel on the other half of the same rack or on an
adjacent rack , the rack must have a tie panel such as shown in Figure 4.
