Gland Installation

At the base of the OVP boxes there are 

glands that provide weatherproofing 

for the enclosure. The following steps 

will show how to install the Hybrid cable 

properly. 

1.

 

Remove compression nut

2.

 

Pull out center gasket

3.

 

Slide compression nut over breakout, compress gasket  

        to  slide  over  breakout.  Leaving  protective  polly  tubing                                                  

    on will simplify this procedure. Be careful not to dam    

    age the fiber connectors. 

4.

 

Gasket needs to be 1" behind heat shrink tube.

5.

 

Carefully feed fiber and power  

    conductors into the OVP box and  

    tighten the compression nut.
