Step 3

Step 4

Slide cover off of the housing as described in the instruction provided with the housing.

Lift the tray stop latches on the tray and slide tray back completely.

Determine location for cable entry into housing.

Remove the routing guides from inside the housing. Retain the lock nuts for use later.

Install the splice platform onto the studs where the routing guides were located and secure with the nuts retained in Step 1 (Figure 2). Remove retaining bracket from splice platform.

Install the Cable

Step 1

Step 2

Secure the cable to the housing as detailed in the instruction provided with the housing. Leave enough cable slack to allow the sliding tray to move to the stops in the forward and back positions.

Remove cable sheath as required for your application. Suggested lengths are illustrated in Figure 3. Do not expose the bare fiber until you are ready to terminate it.

Step 3 Cut strength member and yarn, when present, 4 inches from end of cable sheath to allow for strain-relief. Strain-relieve as detailed in the instruction provided with the housing.

NOTE: 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 pullingforce 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 ofthe cable the cable may have to be replaced.

Step 7

Place a splice tray on the splice platform.

Lift up on tray stop latches and slide drawer toward the front of the housing to make sure cable is not stressed. If necessary, readjust cable strain-relief to prevent stress on fibers.

Gather the pigtail fibers and the buffer tubes and route them as a group around the splice platform to determine the point where they will enter the splice tray.

Mark the fibers and tubes at the point where they will enter the splice tray (Figure 6).

Uncoil the fibers and move the fibers and tray to a location where they can be spliced. Install fibers into tray and splice according to the instructions provided with the splice tray being used.
