a) The intended use is to provide a centralized, rack-mounted termination, identification and
service assignment point for optical fiber.
b) The optical fiber cross-connect/interconnect system rack mount shall be a 12, 24 or 48-
fiber unit, with a double-density option to double the number of connections to 24, 48 or
96 without requiring additional rack space.
c) The optical fiber cross-connect/interconnect system rack mount shall be equipped with
either a swing out or a sliding drawer mechanism for access to fibers.
