3.8 Routing an IFC/OSP Cable
Allow a fiber service loop of at least 126-inches (3.5 meters) when stripping the cable sheath.
This provides sufficient length for routing the buffer tubes within the panel and for splicing.
After entry, the buffer tubes are routed to the splice tray. Use the following procedure.
1. Route the IFC/OSP cable to the selected entry opening at the side of the panel.
2. Strip back OSP cable buffer tube approximately 66-inches (167.64 cm) to expose optical
fibers. Follow cable manufacturer's recommendations when stripping the sheath.
3. Break out the OSP cable corresponding to the dimensions given in Figure 30 . Follow cable
manufacturer's recommendations when stripping the sheath.

Note: Cables may enter the panel from either the top or bottom and may be clamped to
either the left or right side. Figure 31 and Figure 32 show cable clamp position and cable
routing to splice tray for top left side entry. Figure 33 and Figure 34 show top right entry.
Bottom entries are the same except cable clamp location is the same as shown in Figure 13
on Page 14 and Figure 15 on Page 15 .
