4 PLANNING THE SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A single Leviton HDF3168 MDA Frame may serve as the mounting location for up to 22 Decks.
Decks are available as either Patch Decks (six trays per deck) or Splice Decks (three trays per
deck). Cable Routing trays can replace decks at any mounting location within a frame
as needed.

• Leviton HDF3168 MDA Frame Connectivity Components
• Leviton HDF3168 MDA Frame Cross Frame Routing Components
• Leviton HDF3168 MDA Frame Enclosure Components
NOTE:
For best results, Leviton recommends the use of:
• 2.0 mm or smaller diameter patch cords with round cord or 1.6mm zipcord construction. LC
patch cords are recommended to utilize duplex uniboot connectors.
• Leviton Micro Data Center Plenum reduced diameter trunks. The use of Micro Data Center
trunk cabling is required for 24-strand MTP
Trunks and Patch Cords designed specifically for the HDF 3168 system can be selected in
our product configurators at www.leviton.com/HDF3168.
HDF3168 MDA Frames require a 2 x 2 ft. area. If installing on a Raised Access Floor the tiles
in front of and behind the Frame should be accessible in order to route trunk cabling. Cable
pathways should be mounted above and/or below the HDF3168 MDA Frame as would be typical
of other Equipment Racks and Cabinets. Recommended spacing from walls or other rows of
equipment racking is as follows:
From walls – minimum 1inch side, minimum 3 feet front or rear.
From adjacent rows - minimum 3 feet, 4 feet recommended in Cold Aisles per TIA 942.
