The Cisco 15454 fiber storage shelf (FSS) provides slack storage for single patch-cords and ribbon fiber cables for Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP intelligent DWDM deployments. It is used to maintain orderly and neat fiber slack storage for intra-shelf cabling as well as system level cables. The FSS is engineered to protect both single and ribbon fiber cables from bend induced losses through the use of large radius fiber storage reels and bend limiting fiber entrance hardware. A pull-out drawer allows access to the fiber storage area and, when closed, protects the fiber jumpers from accidental damage.
