CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
Now that you have made a DIN rail mounting and bulk fiber point of entry selection, you can begin to complete your installation.
Completing the installation will require mounting the enclosure to the DIN rail, cabling and securing the bulk fiber cable to the
enclosure, and making the fiber terminations.
4.1 STEP 1: MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE TO THE DIN RAIL
1. Find a DIN rail bracket that is firmly secured to a wall.
2. Snap in the enclosure to the DIN rail on the wall until you hear a click (see photo).
3. Check that both green DIN rail brackets are locked and that the enclosure is firmly mounted.

4.2 STEP 2: CABLING AND SECURING THE BULK FIBER TO THE ENCLOSURE
Now that the enclosure is firmly mounted to the wall, you can finish the installation.
1. Remove the two screws on the Kevlar clamp and remove the large grommet nut outside the enclosure.
NOTE: Do this first (before you run bulk fiber cable in the enclosure).
2. Put the large grommet nut through the bulk fiber cable and feed the fiber cable end through the grommet on the enclosure.
3. Re-attach the large grommet nut to the grommet to firmly secure the fiber while you complete the installation. Make sure you
feed enough fiber cable through the enclosure so you can terminate the fiber connectors.
4. Next, strip the cable jacket back close to the tip of the grommet end. Trim back the Kevlar yarn so just enough is available to
firmly secure the Kevlar yarn to the clamp.
5. Attach the Kevlar yarn to the base and re-secure the 2 screws and tighten. This will hold the bulk fiber cable in the enclosure and
will not put any stress on the fiber connection inside the enclosure.
6. Repeat for any other bulk fiber cable points of entry.
