Product Description

The OneReachTM System is a communication equipment that consists of various components. The system includes a Power Injection Chassis, Power Supply Module, LC Connector, 4-port Media Module, and OneReach Cable Assembly. The system is designed for single and multi-port applications and supports both fiber optic and power over Ethernet (PoE) connections.

System Installation
Power Injection Chassis:
The Power Injection Chassis is a component of the OneReachTM System. It is a mounted 2U Chassis that contains a Power Supply Module, Media Modules, and Blanking Panels. The bottom chassis is unloaded for future installations.

OneReach Cable Assembly
The OneReach Cable Assembly is a pre-terminated cable assembly with specific length requirements for each project. It uses OM3 or OS2 optical fiber and LC optical connectors. The cable assembly also includes a power pigtail with a pre-terminated M8 connector for power on the remote end. The cable assembly supports single and multi-port applications.

Remote PoE Ports (Remotes)
The Remote PoE Ports (Remotes) are available in 1-port, 2-port, and 4-port versions. They support PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ devices with speeds up to 1 Gb/s. IP-based devices with appropriate power requirements can be connected to the remote PoE ports using standard RJ-45 terminated patch cords.

Installation Instructions
Assembly Length:
Prior to ordering, use a metered pull tape in the conduit system to ensure that the OneReach Cable Assemblies are the correct length. Once the length of the conduit is determined, add 1% for measurement error, plus the additional length needed to reach the appropriate rack(s) and create desired service loops. For example, if the metered tape result shows 500 ft (152.5 m), the total length of the cable assembly should be calculated accordingly.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Overview
The system consists of three parts: Power Injection (PI), the OneReach Cable Assembly (OCA), and the Remote PoE Port (Remote). The variety of available components allows you to build a custom system for your exact needs – each is designed to work together for ease of use and a streamlined installation.
If any of the OneReach components or devices supported by OneReach are or will be located outdoors or subject to electrical surges, see Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 for important grounding and surge suppression information.

Power Injection
Power Injection starts from the Power Injection Chassis or the PI Source on single channel systems (described later). The rack mountable chassis, located in a local closet, accommodates the slide-in 4-port Media Modules and injects the power and the data from active networking equipment into a hybrid fiber optic and copper cable. The power supply is compliant with the requirements for Class 2 per NFPA 70-2017 when used as part of the OneReach system.
The 2U chassis with rear terminal blocks has a capacity of six single-sized slots and accepts one to three power supplies plus up to five media modules. Each slide-in Media Module supports four Ethernet ports. Each chassis requires at least one power supply.

Slide-in Power Supply Modules (PSM) provide 250W of power from each AC input and are equipped with active ventilation. Each PSM supports twelve PoE, eight PoE+, four PoE++ (60W), or two PoE++ (100W) devices. At least one PSM is required, with multiple PSM’s specified when required for additional power. The maximum number of PSMs in any one chassis shall be three. The screw terminals cannot be used to wire chassis together, nor should other means be used in an attempt to transfer power between chassis.

The slide-in Media Modules provide various configurations of media conversion for 10/100/1000 Mb/s network links to VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other devices. Each media conversion channel includes: rear panel LC optical ports, front panel RJ-45 ports for the copper and indicator LED’s for fiber link, and copper link. Blank filler plates are available for unused module positions. The single channel systems use the 1-port Source, mentioned earlier, as both the source and media converter (see Part 2 Installation Instructions; item D).

Pre-Terminated OneReach Cable Assemblies (OCA)

• Pre-Terminated OneReach Cable Assemblies (OCA) provide a common pathway for data transmission and Class 2 power supply in a single pull installation. The OCA consists of a Berk-Tek CL3R-OF/PLTC-OF or CL3P-OF/PLTC-OF rated composite copper/fiber cable, within a single jacket, which includes 12 AWG solid conductors coupled with either tight-buffered or loose-tube optical fibers. All cables are indoor/outdoor rated to support routing between telecommunication closets and outdoor locations for IP-cameras, WAPs, emergency call boxes, and other IP-based devices. Since the cable is listed as CL3R-OF/PLTC-OF or
• CL3P-OF/PLTC-OF, it can be installed in the same pathways as other low voltage cables.
• Bulk cable is also available for field termination.
• Assemblies are built to specific length requirements for each project with pre-terminated fiber connectors. A power pigtail with a preterminated M8 connector for power on the Remote is field installed after the cable is pulled in. Assemblies use  OM3 or OS2 optical fiber and LC (2 fiber, 4 fiber, or 8 fiber) optical connectors to support single and multi-port applications.

Remote PoE Ports (Remotes)
Remote PoE Ports (Remotes) are avalable in 1-port, 2-port, and 4-port versions. Remotes are available to support PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ (up to PoE Type 4, Class 8) devices with speeds up to 1 Gb/s. IP-based devices with appropriate power requirements may be connected to remote PoE ports with standard RJ-45 terminated patch cords. See tables below for power utilization by remote port count and type.

Assembly Length
Prior to ordering, use a metered pull tape in the conduit system to ensure that assemblies are the correct length. Once the length of the conduit is determined, add 1% for measurement error, plus the additional length needed to reach appropriate rack(s) and create desired service loops. For example, if the metered tape result shows 500 ft (152.5 m):

Cable Installation
Ensure that the conduit system size is large enough to accommodate the cable.

• a. OneReach Cable Assemblies follow the same fill-ratio standards as all other low-voltage cable installations.

• b. The maximum amount of space that the installed cables should occupy in a given size conduit is defined as follows:

  • i. A single cable is allowed to occupy up to 53% of the cross-sectional area (CSA) inside of a conduit.
  • ii. Two cables can occupy 31%.
  • iii. A 40% maximum fill ratio is mandated for three or more cables.

• c. If you do not have ready access to a fill-ratio calculator, the CSA can be manually calculated by squaring the outside diameter of the cable (inside diameter of the conduit for conduit CSA), and then multiplying the total by 0.7854.
  NOTE : The number 0.7854 is arrived at by dividing π by four (3.1416 ÷ 4 = 0.7854).

• d. Add the total of the cable CSA’s together.

• e. Divide the total cable CSA by the conduit CSA.
  NOTE : The cable’s pulling eye will need to fit into the conduit. Please see the OCA’s product spec drawing for the pulling eye outer diameter (OD). For example, if the pulling eye has a 0.8 inch OD, then a minimum Trade Size 1 in. conduit will be needed.

Stage pre-terminated cable at the remote location.

• a. The pulling eye will be attached to the top end of the reel.
• b. The cable must be placed on an axle that will allow the cable to easily unwind during the pulling operation.
• c. The cable should pull off the top of the reel.

Use pulling eye to pull cable from the remote location enclosure through the conduit to the closet.

• a. The use of a preinstalled pulling rope will facilitate this step.
• b. Bend limiting devices (pulleys) must be used in areas where there may be a sharp bend.

Gently remove the pre-terminated cable end from the reel and its protective sock.

Remote Location Installation of the 1-port, 2-port, or 4-port Remote

• An appropriately rated NEMA 4 or better enclosure is required in any location where the remote may come into contact with rain, other liquids, or be subjected to condensation. Leave about 1 meter (3 ft.) of the pre-terminated end of the cable inside the NEMA box and pull the opposite end through to the closet. The cable should be routed in a circle around inside edge of box, while maintaining the minimum bend radius.

• Mount the remote towards the top of the back plate of the enclosure withfour appropriate #8 screws. Unless the remote is to be fastened directly to grounded metal, place a ground lug under one of the 4 mounting screws and route to appropriate grounding point via minimum #12 bonding conductor (See section 3.5).

• Remove fiber dust caps and clean connector end faces with a fiber optic microfiber dry cleaner.

• Connect the appropriate M8 pigtail to the copper conductors on the OCA. Surge Suppression is strongly recommended, see page 14.

• Connect the pre-terminated LC duplex connectors and the M8 connector  to the Remote. Ensure the cable loops easily around the box and that there are no tight bends in the fibers (minimum bend radius is about 10 cm [3.9 in]).

• Connect the remote powered device to the remote with a RJ-45terminated patch cord. Use a cable grip if required. Up to 100 m (328 ft.) of appropriate category cable may be extended from the Remotes
  RJ-45 port.

Hook-up for the 1-port PI Source

• Route hybrid cable to location where the PI Source is to be mounted.
• Mount the PI Source using four appropriate #8 screws to the 1U  mounting bracket. Unless the Source is to be fastened directly to grounded metal, place a ground lug under one of the 4 mounting screws and route to appropriate grounding point via minimum #12 bonding conductor (see section 3.5).
• With no power applied to the PI source, attach conductors to the appropriate terminal one at a time and tighten each terminal screw of the dual terminal block. Surge Suppression is strongly recommended, see page 14.
• Connect the terminated LC duplex connectors to the PI Source.
• Make the network connection to RJ-45 connector.
• Remove fiber dust caps and clean connector end faces with a fiber optic cleaner. Plug in duplex LC connector.
• Connect either the barrel (or M8) connector from the AC power supply to the PI Source.
• Plug the power supply into the AC outlet.
• Ensure that the PI Media Source “Pwr” LED Indicator is illuminated.

Closet Installation for the 4-port PI Media Module

• Route cable in the closet to the rear of the Power Injection Chassis, accounting for proper bend radius. For pre-terminated assemblies, route excess cable in slack management at the side or rear of the rack.

• Terminating the bare end of pigtail assemblies only.

  • a. Cut cable to appropriate length so there is an extra six feet of cable available. Note that some surge protectors require additional distance between the cable end and the chassis/Remote. This may require more cable length to be prepared.
  • b. Strip back the cable jacket at least one foot and terminate the fibers with appropriate connectors.
  • c. With the copper conductors approximately the same length as the fibers, strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from copper conductors. Keep any excess copper conductor, as it may be needed for use with a surge protector.

• Shut off the power to the chassis using the rear switches of all power supplies in the chassis.

• Match the copper conductor to the color identification on the terminal  block. Insert the stripped conductors one at a time, and tighten each terminal screw.
  WARNING : TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, be sure the chassis has all power supplies shut off before hooking up a cable and that the wire colors match the terminal block identification.

  • a. Each screw down terminal has at least a B and W position. Each conductor pair uses a single terminal block. The table below provides the conductor termination guide; conductor pairs are shown by row in the below table.

• Remove fiber dust caps and clean connector end faces with a fiber optic microfiber dry cleaner. Plug the LC connectors into the appropriate connectors on the rear of the Media Modules.
  B Terminal| W Terminal
  ---|---
  Black| White
  Blue| Yellow
  Brown| Orange
  Purple| Pink

• Connect the desired network equipment to the RJ-45 ports on the front of the Media Modules to communicate with the remote end devices.

• Plug in and turn on all power supplies in the Power Injection Chassis.

• Ensure that all the Power Supply “Power On” indicators are illuminated.

• Ensure the Remote “Pwr” Indicator is illuminated.

• Blue “FL” LED’s on the slide-in Media Module indicate that the fiber port is linked between the two locations.

Grounding
A basic OneReach circuit diagram is provided below for informational purposes.
To minimize potential for circulating ground current, the electronics and hybrid power conductors are isolated from the chassis ground, except for transient voltage suppressor (TVS below) protection devices.

System Grounding

• Both the PI source and the remote have internal surge suppression devices, which shunt common mode power surge power that may be induced in the hybrid cable to ground. Transient voltage suppression is part of the circuit, but the base plates at both ends of a circuit must be grounded to facilitate surge voltage protection. Proper installation ensures that the surge suppression will operate as intended.

• The installer must mount the OneReach units such that the base plates are connected to local ground. This is done by using grounding screws (not supplied) to secure the metal base of the PI source or remote to a mounting plate connected to an approved ground.

• If the PI source or remote cannot be connected directly to a grounded plate, a ground wire with grounding lug (not supplied) must be used. The ground lug and wire must be installed between the base plate and the ground screw, and tightened securely. The other end of the ground wire is connected to an approved earth ground. Use a copper ground wire, minimum 12 AWG (not supplied). Be sure the OneReach system is properly grounded prior to applying power.

Surge Protection
For all applications where remote devices are outdoors, 48 VDC surge protectors are strongly recommended. Leviton strongly recommends additional surge suppression be added to the Category cables running to the powered device as well as a high power grounded surge suppression device be installed at the source end of the hybrid cable. Specific installation guidelines are dependent on the surge protection device selected and the network design. See section 3.5 for a reference to a basic OneReach circuit diagram.
