10. Installing Dual Stub Connector in
Remote Frames
10.1 Remove the MPC from its shipping
container (keep protective material around the
connector assembly).
10.2 Mark the stubs cable with the
identification number and pair count of the
cable to which the stubs are to be placed.
10.3 Determine the splice location and whether
the stub entrance is from the top of the bottom
of the distribution frame.
10.4 Screw the two mounting screws supplied
with the MPC part way into the mounting holes
at the required position
on the left side of the
distributing frame vertical
.
10.5
Run the one of the stub cable up/down the
distributing frame as required to the splice
location and then the second stub.
10.6
Hang the MPC by its mounting bracket
slots on the two screws in the frame vertical.
NOTE:
Position the MPC so that the plastic stud
on the top of the connector immediately below
engages the slot on the bottom of the connector being
mounted.
10.7 Tighten screws to secure MPC to the
vertical.
10.8 Dress one of the stubs to the distribution
frame, and then dress the second stub.
10.9 Mark the MPC designation strip with the
number and pair-count of the cable being
terminated.
10.10
Test the protector modules.
NOTE:
Splice stubs to the main cable, as required
by the job specification, using standard splicing
procedures for the type of cable involved.
11. Installing Stubless Connector
NOTE:
Before proceeding with installation, divide
the cable to be terminated into 100-pair binders for
each connector location.
NOTE:
A mounting adapter (P0566899) can be
used to mount the MPC during installation for
easier access to work areas. This section will describe
the procedure when using this bracket.
11.1
Pull the 100-pair binders up the frame
until all slack is removed. Binders must extend
at least 625 mm (2 ft.) above the MPC position.
11.2 Tie the binder to the transverse arm below
the MPC position.
11.3 Separate the 100-pair binder into four
25-pair groups, and tag each group with its
applicable pair count: 1-25, 26-50, 51-75 or
76-100.
11.4 Secure the mounting adapter on the frame
vertical with two screws.
