Installing Nortel's for about 20 years and it seems that they had pretty much everything figures out for a simple install. 66 Blocks and then the rest went into the wall mounted cabinsts.

I know the two are different but it seems each time I install an IPO every installs requires me to come up with a creative way to mount all the modules, cables runs, external power supplies, grounding etc.

I do like the IPO over the Nortel for its features and functions however I am wondering if any one has had these issues or have come up with a standard install protocol for the IPO.

thanks
 
I would say it’s no different..than installing nortel BCM etc
If the new site is all cat 5/6 cables in new cabs then it’s straight forward patch leads.
If wall mounted then you can get a cable harness with cat 5 ends on one side and terminate the other on 66 blocks or patch strips for small cabs,
.

I suppose we are all in the same situation..
Access each site as it comes..[atom]
