1. Remove the top metal splice tray cover and install the bottom metal splice cover in the wallmount or
rackmount fiber cabinet.
2. Remove the single-mode plastic covers on each of the four single-mode plastic bases already installed in
the bottom metal splice cover.
3. Remove the yellow sticker from one of the single-mode plastic bases.
4. Install a metal sleeve and slide the single-mode fiber through it that you plan to splice. (For single-mode
fiber, you’ll use fusion splicing.)
5. Prepare and splice the fiber.
6. After splicing is complete, snap the spliced fiber in one of the 6 compartment areas in the plastic base.
7. Repeat until all 6 compartments are filled.
8. Re-install the single-mode plastic cover.
9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the remaining three single-mode plastic bases as required by your
