3. Prepare a piece of mesh tubing for each sub-unit of 288 fibers. Cut the pieces of mesh
sleeve to a length of 112.3 inches (284.5 cm).
4. Prior to insertion into the mesh, trim and tape together the fiber ends to prevent them
from snagging and breaking while being inserted.
5. Install a single piece of mesh tubing over each sub-unit of 288 fibers and slide the mesh
sleeve back to the cable jacket.
6. When all the sub-units have been routed to splice trays and the splice trays prepared,
wind a section of vinyl tape around at the meeting place of the cable jacket and the
mesh tubing to secure the mesh tubing to the cable jacket.
