12.3.2 Cut subunit
12.3.2.1
Bring the selected subunit to the rear of the loop storage, the uncut fiber storage.
Note
: It is important that the selected subunit is routed first and that the bundle of subunits is installed back on top of this
routed subunit.
12.3.2.2
Put the selected subunit on top of the uncut fiber storage basket and mark the stripping point. Strip the subunit to
this mark and clean all fibers per standard practice.
12.3.3
Routing on uncut fiber storage to splice tray
Note:
images below shows a shaved subunit, same practice for cut subunit.
12.3.3.1
Push the cut fiber through the transportation tube, respecting the correct bend radius.
Note:
Make sure
fibers are grease free
before pushing the fibers through the transportation tube.
12.3.3.2
Store over length and the uncut fibers in the storage area.
Note
: Make sure all fibers are properly positioned under the lips and avoid bugling of the fiber.
Note:
The fiber guidance pen (situated on top of the loop storage basket) can be used to position all the fibers under the lips.
12.3.3.3
The fiber routed through the transportation tube is ready to be spliced. Proceed with step 12.4. to change side or
with section 15 Splicing.

From splice tray rear to front
and vice versa
12.4.1
The fibers are now available on the splice tray at the rear of the closure. The fibers can be routed to the front
through the two slots on the sides of the splice trays. The drop fibers can also be routed from the front to the rear on the
same way. Fibers can be temporarily stored on the tray.

N.° Description
Preparation
1
Jacket
Remove the jacket over a distance of 130 cm +/-
5 cm (51.2 +/- 2inches)
2
Dual jacket
Strip the dual jacket to a length of 1 cm
+/0,2 cm (0.4 +/-0.08 inches) . Remove the
aramid yarn inside this second jacket.
3
Aramid yarn
Cut the aramid yarn to length of 12 cm
+/- 1 cm. (4.7 +/ 0.4 inches)
4
Subunits
Clean the subunits, remove all grease.
5
Rigid strength
member
Remove the rigid strength member if present.
If the diameter is smaller than 5 mm (0.2”) add 3 wraps of self amalgamating silicon tape. Stretch the tape up to 300% while
wrapping the tape around the cable. Make sure the tape is wrapped where the cable ties will be positioned.
