COMMON AND ISOLATED BOND WIRE
INSTALLATION
Common Ground Installation:
13.01
Terminate the ring terminal of the bond wires
(previously installed) on each of the cables to a
common ground terminal on the inside of the
center section. See
Figure 9a
. Tighten the
ground terminal hex nuts securely.
Isolated ground Installations:
13.02
Terminate the bond strap ring terminal(s) from
the cable(s) to be isolated to an inside ground
terminal. Tighten the ground terminal hex nuts
securely. See
Figure 9b
.
13.03
When isolating the cable(s) in drop ports D1 and
D3, provide two to three layers of insulating tape
over 5/8” back side of the Express/Feeder central
strength member tie down nut(s). This will
insulate them from the Drop/Lateral cables and
any subsequently installed conductive strength
members.

BUNDLES
Note: there are several methods of routing fiber
bundles to splice trays. The following illustrates
one of the most common ones referred to as a
“paperclip”.
14.01 Full Cut Cables (Loose Tube and Ribbon)
Fiber bundles from the Express/Feeder cables or
from Drop/Lateral cables can be safely routed
into the flexible routing clips molded into the
sides of the center section frame. It is
recommended that loose buffer tubes be routed
directly into and out of the transition area. (It is
not necessary to transition the loose tube
bundles into transition tubing. See
Figure 10a
and 10b
.
Note: Use cut sections of spiral wrap supplied
