Installing Outside Plant Metallic Cables
Install outside plant (OSP) metallic cables into the cabinet (or EXM) and prepare the cables for splicing. The following steps
are general guidelines only. Follow local practice where applicable.
Note:
For additional space in the cabinet or EXM when installing OSP metallic cables, remove the Battery Enclosure (if
present).
To install outside plant metallic cables
Open the side cabinet or front EXM door.
To keep the cabinet or EXM compartment clear of environmental gel, drape plastic sheeting over the door,
protection panels, and the bottom of the splice area.
Route the OSP metallic cables from the feeder location through the conduit and up into the compartment.
Pull approximately six feet of each cable up into the compartment through the entry duct.
Using ropes or cable ties, temporarily hang and secure the OSP cables inside the compartment.
If splicing shall be performed at a later time, do the following:
• Remove the plastic sheeting.
• Make sure the cable arrangement allows the door to close. Take care to not violate the cable bend radius
requirements.
