3.4 FIBER ORGANIZING/STORAGE, ROUTING AND SPLICING

3.4.1 INLINE EXPRESS (thru) configuration LBT Standard & Micro, Flat Drop with or without Trace wire

3.4.2 Route LBT to be spliced to routing tray. See photo 21.

Note:

Left side LBTs to be routed first. Right side LBTs to cross over LBTs from

left side. Otherwise route buffer tube directly to routing tray.

3.4.3 Place appropriate grommet onto buffer tube. If more than one buffer tube, both may be installed into one

grommet.

Insert into routing tray, sliding grommet to align with retaining groove in routing tray. Secure with

cable tie. See photos 22-26A.

3.4.4 Repeat steps 3.4.2 to 3.4.3 with buffer tube coming from other end of cable.

LBTs routed straight to
