Installing Metallic Cables
This section describes how to install metallic signal cables into the cabinet, including how to route and groom the outside
plant cables and splice to the equipment cables.
Installing Outside Plant Metallic Cables
Install outside plant (OSP) metallic cables into the cabinet and prepare the cables for splicing. The following steps are gen-
eral guidelines only. Follow local practice where applicable.
To install outside plant metallic cables
Open the cabinet's splice compartment door.
Route the OSP metallic cables from the feeder location through the conduit and up into the cabinet.
Pull approximately six feet of each cable up into the splice compartment through the entry duct.
Using ropes or cable ties, temporarily hang and secure the OSP cables inside the splice compartment.
If splicing shall be performed at a later time, do the following:
• Using rope or cable ties, temporarily hang and secure the OSP cable inside the splice compartment.
• Make sure the cable arrangement allows the door to close. Take care to not violate the cable bend radius
requirements.
