General product description This enclosure is deployed in the distribution and drop part of the spliced fiber network. It is designed to allow reconfiguration in the field, meaning the enclosure can be re-entered to add new cables as required. Environmental conditions The enclosure is designed to meet 20kPa and 2 m water head sealing performance compliant with prEN50411-2-10. It is suitable for underground (manhole, handhole), ground level (pedestal) and aerial use. The TENIO fiber enclosure is a modular butt splice enclosure fully compatible with G.652.D SM fiber. Fiber and cable technology independent, it can be configured to meet specific requirements in terms of maximum splices, loop storage, optical device storage, and cable diameter. Two sizes are available, B6 and C6/C6H, to allow this flexibility (see dimensions on the next page). Page 2 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved Maximum capacity of splices/trays Trays are designed to hold SMOUV or ANT splice protectors depending on the type. A FAS is used in all splice trays. The design of the tray provides bend control and makes sure the fiber cannot make bends smaller then radius 40 mm (1.57’’). Minimum over length storage per splice side on the tray is 1.2m (47’’). Tenio-B6 can accommodate up to 12 fiber splice trays (type S12 or A12). Each tray houses 12 fiber splices, for a capacity of maximum 144 fiber splices per closure. Tenio-C6 can accommodate up to 8 fiber splice trays (type S24 or A24). Each tray houses 24 fiber splices for a capacity of maximum 192 fiber splices per closure. Tenio-C6H can accommodate up to 12 fiber splice trays (type SLE). Each tray houses 24 fiber splices for a capacity of maximum 288 fiber splices per closure. More information about tray types can be retrieved in installation instruction TC-1320-IP-A, and on the eCatalog. Cable diameter range The cable diameter of the TENIO ranges from 2-16mm (0.08-0.63’’). Depending the required cable range, the enclosure can be composed of various combinations of dedicated cable seal segments. The TENIO can hold in total 6 seal segments. Each seal segment (9 variants in total) is adapted to a specific cable range. For an overview, refer to the eCatalog. These gel seals are put under pressure after installation by engaging the seal mechanism. The seal mechanism exists of 2 latches to seal the dome on the base and a tightening system engaged with the trigger to seal the cables. Cable type The TENIO is cable technology independent and can be used with various cable constructions for both feeder cable and drop cable, including microsheath, dual strength member, central core, and loose buffer tube/subunit constructions. 4.1.

All Rights Reserved 4.2.1. Towers The towers contain the snap features to hold the trays. There are two towers available, with a different pitch between the trays. The tower mounted on the B6/C6H size has a pitch of 4mm. The tower mounted on a C6 size has a pitch of 6mm. 4.2.2. Trays Trays should be mounted on the tower in the field. They are either part of the kit content or can be ordered separately. See the eCatalog for more information about the different types. Large CTU (CTU-L) can terminate strength members (rods up to Ø 4mm (0.16’’) and aramid yarn). In one CTU holder 2 or 3 of these CTU’s can be installed. Cable diameter range from 5-16 mm (0.20-0.63’) and flat cable. Small CTU (CTU-S) can terminate aramid yarn. 4 or 5 of these CTU’s can be installed in one CTU holder. Cable diameter is up to 6 mm (0.24’’). Splice trays as well as patch trays are available to use in the TENIO. Splice trays are designed to hold SMOUV or ANT splice protectors depending the type. A FAS is used in all splice trays, providing an R40 bend radius. Minimum over length storage per splice side on the tray is 1.2m (47’’). 4.2.3. FAS (Fiber Arrangement System) The two drums in the FAS area are used to redirect the fiber routing. Fibers can change direction by making an S-shape over the drums. The area is also used to allow inter tray jumps: fibers routed from one tray to the other need to pass the FAS. Also on the trays a FAS is used to redirect the routing of the fiber. 4.2.4. Passive optical components storage Depending the application, fiber storage (for example dark fiber) can be stored in this area as well as passive optical components (POC). A dove tail interface cut out is used to install the POC’s in this area. The C6 size enclosure can accommodate more POC’s then the B6 size. Field installable splitter sub-assemblies with Fused biconoc Taper (FBT) or PLC splitters are available. See eCatalog for more details. The fiber guidance channels bring the fibers to the trays, the FAS or to the POC storage area. 4.2.5. Cable seal The enclosure is sealed with in total 8 gel seal segments. Two of the seal segments are the side seal segments and do not hold a cable. The other 6 segments can vary depending on the amount of cables and diameter of cables required. For an overview, refer to the eCatalog. Tube/subunit holder Tube/subunit holders are present on the front side as well as on the back side of the organizer. In the tube/subunit holder area, the jacket is removed from the tubes/subunits. Only 250µm fiber continue from this point. The area is designed to control tube/subunit grow in/ grow out up to 20 mm. The tube/subunit is pushed in one of the channels and the fiber is routed to fiber guidance channels left or right. The fiber can also be guided from the back side of the organizer to the front side to access the trays. To keep the tube/subunits in place, a piece of orange tubing is cut to length and pushed on top of the tube/subunit. A pre-installed transparent protection lid covers the tube/ subunit holder. 4.2.6. 4.2.7. CTU holder area In the CTU (Cable Termination Unit) holder area, the black CTU holders are installed. The black CTU holders are available in the SKG’s (sealing kit gel). There are 2 models, one model for small CTU’s (CTU-S) used with cables with a diameter up until 6 mm (0.24’’), and one for large CTU’s (CTU-L) used with cables with a diameter up to 16mm (0.63’’) The gels seals are available in the SKG’s (sealing kit gel). 4.2.8. Loop storage area Unused looped tube/subunits can be stored between the metal brackets at the back side of the organizer If the unused loops of the feeder cable should be stored, the feeder cable should be installed in the middle gel seal segment at the back side of the enclosure. 4.2.9. Fiber dressing tool and wedge A fiber dressing tool to guide the fibers under the hooks and lips of the tray and the channels, is stored at the backside of the organizer. It is advised to store the fiber dressing tool again in its holder after installation. A wedge to support the trays is only available in the C6 enclosure in combination with the A24/S24 tray. The purpose of it is to prevent the tray from falling down when hinged open to work on the tray below. Page 5 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved 5. Kit content 5.1.

Page 18 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved 11.3.13 Route the fibers to the selected tray. See chapter 13 for detailed instructions concerning fiber routing. 12. Install drop cable Drop cables can be installed in all positions at the front side or in the positions in the two seal segments left and right at the back side. 12.3.5 Strip the tube/subunit up to the mark. 12.3.1 Remove the top gel seal segment and the dummy plugs. Click the CTU in the plastic CTU holder as shown. 12.3.6 Insert the tube/subunit in the grooves of the tube/ subunit holder area. Cut a piece of the orange tubing of 30mm (1.18’’). Press the piece of orange tubing in the groove on top of the tube/subunit. Note: place the end of the orange tube/subunit at the start of the groove. This makes it easier to remove the orange tubing. 12.3.2 If there are unused positions in the gel seal segment, place a dummy plug in these positions (4 in example above). 12.3.7 Re-install the protection cover over the tube/subunit holder area. Position the plastic cover with the openings over the snap features and push until it snaps. 12.3.3 Place the second gel seal segment on top of the cables. Make sure the corners of the gel seal segment are properly inserted under the protrusions of the gel seal area. 12.3.4 Position the tube/subunit on top of the groove and mark the tube/subunit at the point indicated with the lines. The grooves in the tube/subunit holder area are designed for tube/subunits with a maximum Ø of 2.4mm. 12.3.8 Route the fibers to the selected tray. See chapter 13 for detailed instructions concerning fiber routing. Page 19 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved 13. Splice application 13.1. Routing to the tray Note: only 250µ fiber continue from the tube/subunit holder area to the tray (with exception of the patch trays). Only 250µm fiber is allowed in the fiber guidance area. Black fiber routing from drop port at the front side directly to the tray. Blue fiber routing from drop port at the front side to the other side of the tray passing around the drums of the FAS under the trays. Green fiber routing from drop port at the front side to an additional splice holder stored in the POC area. Yellow fiber routing from the splitter (input and output) to the tray. Red fiber routing from drop port at the back side or from feeder port directly to the tray. Blue fiber routing from drop port at the back side or from feeder port to the other side of the tray passing around the drums of the FAS under the tray. Fuchsia routing from feeder port to dark fiber storage at the front side. Note: if there are no POC installed in the pocket behind the tube/subunit holders, dark fiber can be stored in this area. Teal inter-tray jump. Routing of a fiber from one tray to another entering the tray at the same side. Picture above shows the slot used to route the fiber from the back side to the front side. Page 20 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved 13.2. Routing on the tray 14. Patch application There are 2 sizes of patch trays available: SLITTED SIDE SLITTED SIDE C6(H) B6 Select the groove on the tower that routes the fiber to the tray. The fiber continues in the groove of the tray. Fibers entering the tray from the opposite sides cross each others in the middle of the tray (called FAS). Fibers can be stored around the island present on each tray. (See dotted black lines on image below.) On some trays, there are pass through grooves available between and under the splice protector holders. These can be used the store more or longer length of fiber. Information about the amount and the type of adapters compatible with this tray can be retrieved in the eCatalog. Both trays have at one side of the tray a slit to route the patch cord from the front side of the tray to the back side. If present, the two or three splice trays must be installed in the bottom positions of the tower. On top of these trays, the patch trays are installed. Patch trays should be installed above the lips of the fiber guidance channel therefor the patch trays can only be installed starting from a certain position on the tower: - position 4 for the C6 enclosure and; - position 3 for B6/C6H enclosure. Between two patch trays one or two hinge positions must remain unused; see table below: splice trays installed under patch trays hinge position unused between 2 patch trays B6/ C6H maximum 2 2 C6 maximum 3 1 Splice per standard practice and store the splice protector in the splice protector holder. Note: the FAS on the tray can be used to make crossings on the tray; if the fibers need to be spliced enters the tray from the same side, one fiber can make a S-shaped U-turn on the tray using the openings in the island (see blue dotted line on the image above). Note: When storing (over length) fibers, observe the following general rules: 1. The fibers may not be routed too tight around the island. 2. Make sure all fibers are properly positioned under the lips. 14.1. Push the tray hinge of the patch tray into the snap features on the tower. Start with position 4 for the C6H enclosure and with position 3 for the C6H and B6 enclosures. Page 21 of 28 © 2019 CommScope, Inc. All Rights Reserved non-slitted side slitted side 14.2.
