(a) Line the tabs on the cover with the slot near the front of the cassette base.
(b) Lay the cover flat on the base and ensure all the tabs on the side of the cover
and bases are lined up. With one hand holding the cassette base, push cover
forward with other hand to engage tabs. Double check the rear tab is also
engaged to prevent the cover from sliding off.
Prepare cable for single fiber splice cassette installation
Refer to Table 1 for Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. “Feeder Initial Length” is the
recommended length of fiber to bring into the cassette. “Feeder Cut Length” and
“Pigtail Cut Length” are measured from the front of the cassette and are the
recommended cut lengths for the initial splices. A maximum of (1) rework is allowed
per splice.

into splice holder
(a) Load splice protectors into splice
holder (b) Utilizing the spool fiber
fingers, route pigtail fibers
counterclockwise until feeder and
pigtail fibers converge.
Install feeder fiber in splice cassette
(a) Insert plastic sleeves into mesh sleeve and secure using tape. Insert feeder fiber
into sleeve.(b) Secure feeder fiber using two cable ties. (c) Snip off ends of cable
ties close to head. (d) Push the head downward until it is below the top of the
cassette wall, and push cable ties towards the back of the cassette.
