Prepare cable for mass fiber splice cassette installation.
Group feeder fibers into two groups (1-12 and 13-24), then refer to Table 1 for
Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. “Feeder Strip Length” is the recommended length
of fiber to bring into the cassette. “Feeder Cut Length” and “Pigtail Cut Length”
is measured from the front of the cassette and is the recommended cut length
for the initial splice. A maximum of (1) rework is allowed per splice.
