The Mills FIBERGUIDE CommScope FiberGuide Raceway System is designed for quick and easy installation. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install the system:

1. Determine the configuration you require: The FiberGuide Brochure in the Datasheets section provides part numbers for different configurations. Contact sales for a quote based on your specific needs.

2. Prepare the installation area: Ensure that the area where you will be installing the raceway system is clean and free from any obstructions.

3. Plan the raceway route: Determine the path where the fiber optic patch cords and multi-fiber cable assemblies will be routed. Consider factors such as distance, bends, and accessibility.

4. Assemble the basic components: The basic components of the FiberGuide system include horizontal and vertical straight sections, elbows, downspouts, junctions, and support hardware. Assemble these components according to your planned raceway route.

5. Install the raceway: Attach the assembled raceway components to the desired surface using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure that the raceway is securely fastened and aligned correctly.

6. Add drops: If you need to add or remove drops, use the Express Exit system. This allows you to add drops into a fully loaded raceway without cutting. Simply follow the instructions provided in the manual for adding drops.

7. Protect the fiber: The FiberGuide system ensures maximum protection for your network. The minimum bend radius of 2 inches (50 mm) should be maintained throughout the system, regardless of the raceway size. Be careful not to exceed this bend radius to avoid damaging the fiber optic cables.

8. Test the installation: Once the raceway system is installed, it is recommended to perform testing to ensure proper functionality and connectivity of the fiber optic cables.
