13.0 Splice Trays and Fiber Splicing
13.01 2524-FT (Fusion and Fibrlok)
The Fibrlok 2524 Splice Organizer Tray stores up to 24 Fibrlok
splices and/or 24 fusion splices and the respective buffer tubes
and fibers. A 4" (102 mm) minimum bend diameter is maintained
in each tray. Also, the trays hinge together for individual tray
access in a stack.
13.02 Prepare the cables and splice case for splicing.
Danger:
Fiber ends and unmated connectors may emit INVISIBLE laser or LED radiation.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam. Do not inspect with magnifying instruments.
Cap plugs should be kept on all unmated connectors.
Note:
The following procedures must be followed prior to installing the 2524 Splice Organizer Tray.
13.03 Prepare the cables to be spliced per the company practice to expose 8 feet (2.4 m) of cable buffer tubes.
Clean the sealant from buffer tube(s) per company practice.
Note:
Carefully follow health and safety information given on cleaning solvent container label or Material
Safety Data Sheet.
13.04 If the cable is a ribbon, unitube or slotted core, loose tubes from a unit splitter kit will be placed over the
fibers to be spliced for protection.
13.05 Secure the cables to the splice case per case practice.
13.06 Lay one complete coil of buffer tube(s) in the splice case in a
COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction. Buffer tubes should exit the
splice case in the corner where they will enter the splice trays.
13.07 Trim the buffer tubes (without cutting the fibers) to the middle of
the splice case. Leave at least 75% of one coil buffer tubing intact.
13.08 Clean the grease from the fiber per company practice.
13.09 Cut the supplied tubing into 12" (305 mm) pieces.
