Important Note:
Only qualified personnel is allowed. National safety regulations will override

installation standards.
All Nexans installations shall be completed in accordance with (IAW) the relevant
standards. Different countries have different applicable standards. Some regions
use a hybrid of them so depending on your location the relevant standards shall
be followed. It is important to always check for the latest versions of standards as
they are constantly being updated.
For more information about installation procedures please contact Technical
Support Department of Nexans Cabling Solutions.

Nexans Fibre Trunking System Important remark: Installation is to be performed by qualified service personnel
Installation may require special tools like saw, cutting machine, screw driver etc.
Make sure safety protection method is provided.
A Cable pathway is designed to hold data communication cables in buildings and

datacenters. The increasing data transfer between workstations,
telecommunication rooms and data centers requires high-bandwidth. Being ready
to run new applications more than a decade out requires a scalable, flexible and
future proof system, datacenter now rely on fiber to connect between each
patching area as backbone. A Fiber pathway system is specially designed to
protect fiber optic from physical. It also provides a versatile, scalable pathway that
reduces the costs associated with maintaining existing network operations and
implementing new services.
Nexans provides Fibre Trunking System to secure your valuable data transmission.
Fibre Trunking System allows people to modify and mantenance during data
transmission. No need to worry about future growth, a wide range of fittings can
met any consequence.

Fiber Pathway system:
It is important that the correct pathway solution be installed in order to meet

both the requirements of the environment into which it is being installed and the
cabling products being installed within the solution.

Pathways and Spaces
Where there is a requirement to keep other cable types away from data cables
the separation must be such that it cannot be inadvertently changed. For
example both the data cables should be held together with velcro and power
should be tie wrapped in place to maintain the separation distances required.

Before installation:
Where the pathway system provides continuous support, the cables must
not be stacked more than 150mm.This is to prevent crush damage to the cables
at the bottom. EN50174-2 4.4 refers.
Use the Nexans installation software toolkit to calculate the size of containment
you need, this is available at http://www.nexans.co.uk/eservice/UKen_GB/navigateproduct_540160551/LAN_Calculation_Toolkit.html

Make sure the pathway systems have smooth surfaces and also be free of burrs,
sharp edges or projections that can damage cable insulation and be free of
pressure points that may degrade the transmission performance of the installed
system.
Pathways made from tray-work shall be positioned to provide a minimum
clearance of 25 mm from the fixing surface and to provide as much working
space as possible above the tray (minimum 150mm) to enable access during
installation and accommodate the maximum stacking height of cables.

Pathways
Cable installation, installation of cables shall be in accordance with the

instructions supplied by their manufacturers/suppliers.
Installation of cable shall be undertaken according to the installation
schedule.
When installing cables, cords or jumpers appropriate techniques shall
be applied in order to:
eliminate cable stress caused by: - tension in suspended cable runs; tightly pinched cable bundles; - ensuring that minimum bend radii are as
specified by the cable manufacturer, supplier or in accordance with the
relevant product standard (rollers or other devices shall be used to avoid
damage);
Ensure that the tensile load applied to the cables and cable bundles as
specified by the cable manufacturer, supplier or are in accordance with
the relevant product standards. Unless otherwise stated in the suppliers
/manufacturers specification, the maximum tensile load applied to a
bundle shall be that specified for a single cable;
prevent pressure marks (e.g. through improper fastening or crossovers)
on the cable sheath or the cable elements;

Cable Management on Tray/Basket

EN 50174-2:2009 in section 5.3.5 details the requirements
Installation of supporting bracket
Attached to Cable Ladder or upper ceiling or Auxiliary Framing Bar is the most
common way for mounting:
Trapeze support:
The trapeze supporting bracket is used to attach 120/240 channel to ceiling
from above. It is a straight bracket with 2 x M 20 threaded rod and fasteners to
enable fitting of the main channel mounting bracket from overhead ceiling in
your data centers.
High strength Expansion
screws
Max Loading: 1000kg
Fixing the main channel on

the bracket
Interval of bracket < 1.5m

A wide range of mounting hardware is provided to ensure the fiber guider could
be mounted under any circumstance in data centers and IT rooms.
Ladder support on existing rod
Ladder support above ladder

Ladder support ( L bracket support):

The L bracket support is used to attach 120/240 channel to provide side
mounting using the M20 thread rod or on existing rod. The L bracket provides
adjustable mounting mechanism to support different mounting environments.
Several accessories are available to fit certain environment.
Cabinet/Rack support :
Use Cabinet/Rack support kit to attach Channel on your standard Cabinet.

Auxiliary Framing support :

You can attach 120/240 channel to auxiliary framing to provide side mounting
using the auxiliary framing kit.
Installation of In-Line Connectors:

In-line Connectors are used to connect a wide range of connecting hardware.

Nexans Fibre Trunking System provides Elbows, Bends, Tees and Crosses to ease
Pathway design. All of those fitters and transits are available in 120mm and
240mm width and transits allow 240mm channel convert to 120mm channel.
