NOTE: 1.
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the
cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply
than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable
than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can
alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.

Frequently asked questions

The minimum bend radius for fiber optic cable is specified on the cable specification sheet. Make sure to follow the instructions and consult the cable specification sheet before installing the cable.

Split grommets are used to hold and secure multiple fiber ribbons within the tray, ensuring they remain organized and protected during installation.

RTV 734 sealant or an equivalent compound is recommended for use with the splice tray.

After splicing, gently move the loops of fiber back out towards the walls, ensuring all fibers are captured beneath the lip and fiber retaining tabs before snapping the cover into place.

The label should include relevant information such as the date of installation, the type of cable used, the splice location, and any other pertinent details.
