Splicing Metallic Cables
Mate the outside plant (OSP) cables to the equipment cables using MS2 or 710 connectors. The equipment cables are
factory terminated with either MS2 or 710 connectors on the OSP side of the protection blocks (MS2 only for optional
cross-connect panels, where supported). You must install counterpart MS2 or 710 connectors on each 25-pair group from
the OSP cables.
If you require additional copper line protection capacity before splicing cables, you can install additional protection blocks.
See
Installing a Protection Mounting Frame
and
Installing a Protection Block
for instructions.
To splice the metallic cables
Open the cabinet's splice compartment door.
Segregate the bundled pairs from the OSP cable into 25-pair groups.
Terminate MS2 or 710 connectors onto the ends of each 25-pair group per local practice.
Remove all cable ties securing the cabinet equipment cables to tie bars and remove the protective covers from
the connectors.
For each 25-pair group, mate the OSP and equipment connectors together using the appropriate mating
clamps.
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each remaining OSP cable.
Dress and secure the spliced cables to the rack or tie bars with cable ties.
