5.
Strip away the last 28” of buffer tube, leaving exposed, jacketed fiber.
6.
Strip the 3 mm yellow jacket from the fiber so there is approximately 18” of fiber
exposed.
7.
Splice the incoming fiber to a pigtail. Use quality fusion splicing equipment only.
Note:
Make sure you do not exceed the manufacturers bend radius specifications for the
fiber being deployed.
8.
Tie wrap all fibers to the fiber management tray (holding tray upright, tie-wrap to the
left).
Important:
Do not over-tighten the tie wraps which secure the fiber optic cable to the
splice tray. Excessively tightened tie wraps will cause an undesirable refraction of the
light, resulting in excessive signal loss.
9.
Screw the fiber management tray back into the slot provided in the ONT housing.
10.
Re-install the Fiber Management Tray Cover.
11.
Measure the optical power exiting the fiber using an optical power meter. The GPON
fiber must have no less than -25 dB of power.
