Splicing and fiber storage
7.1.3 Position the FOSC-400A4 by the
splicing machine in a convenient location,
and secure the closure.
7.1.4 Slide the heat-shrinkable splice
protection over one fiber and fuse fibers
according to local recommendations and
procedures. After the fusion splice is made,
install the heat-shrinkable splice protection
(e.g. SMOUV) with appropriate heating
source. Allow the splice protection to cool
down to ambient temperature.
7.1.1 Each splice tray accommodates 8 fiber
splices maximum and each side of the tray
holds a maximum of 4 big transportation
tubes.
Position the transportation tubes on bottom
tray and align the tubes along the tray. Place
a mark on each tube on tray side at 15 mm
from tray edge.
7.1.2 Carefully cut the transportation tubes at
the mark and secure to splice tray with two tie
wraps. The transportation tube may not be in
contact with fibers stored in the organizer.
7.1.5 After each splice is made, the splice
should be stored in the splice holder. Do not
deform the splice protector during insertion.
The fiber slack should be coiled into the tray.
