3.6 Preparing and Connecting a Pre-Connectorized Cable
This section tells how to prepare and connect a multi-fiber cable. The cable being installed must
conform to the breakout dimensions provided.
Use the following procedure.
1. If the cable is being connectorized:
a. Refer to Table 2 for breakout dimensions for variables L2 to L5.
b. Associate these variables to the breakout diagrams given in
Figure 17
(IFC Stranded)
Figure 18 (IFC Ribbon), or Figure 19 (OSP) for the cable type being installed.
2. Determine the correct clamp and grommet combination required to secure the cable to the
panel. For details on the cable clamp itself, refer to Section 3.4 on Page 14 .
3. Determine the cable entry location. Cables may enter the panel from either top or bottom
and may be clamped to either the left or right side.
