Splicing Ribbon Fiber Distribution Cables
The universal splice tray can hold one mass fusion ribbon splice (12-fibers). Use the
following procedure to splice the ribbon distribution cable fibers to the distribution port
fibers and to re-install the distribution splice trays in the cabinet:
1. Starting at the tie-off point on the splice tray, remove the subunit tube from the fiber
ribbon to expose the bare fiber ribbon. The ribbon should be approximately 36
inches (92 cm) long.
2. The distribution pigtail fibers are stranded and must be ribbonized for mass fusion
splicing. Install a ribbonizing kit as specified by local practice. Follow the
installation instructions provided with the kit. Refer to
in
identify the distribution port fiber designations.
3. Mass fusion splice the distribution cable ribbon to the ribbonized distribution port
fibers following local policies and procedures.
