Step 3: Remove the Enclosure Lid
Using a 3mm Allen key, unscrew the 8 captive screws on the enclosure lid until they are clear of the
base. Do not remove the screws from the lid. A pre-installed cable tie-lanyard is provided to keep
the lid attached the base. This may be cut and removed if desired.
Step 4: Powered Fiber Cable Installation
The CommScope Powered Fiber Cable consists of 2 insulated copper power conductors and a
central tube containing the optical fiber. Separate the three cores to allow the power to be
connected to the screw terminals, and the fiber thread to be connected to a fiber terminal, which is
then inserted into the SFP.
The Powered Fiber Cable is designed to be prepared for use with only a knife, a typical pair of
wire strippers and, optionally, a wire cutter or snip. To split the cable successfully, follow this
process.
As detailed below, only use the knife to separate the parts for the first 20mm or so. It is important
that subsequent stripping is performed by simply pulling the conductors away from the fiber tube so
that the edges are clean and smooth.
Step 4A: Splitting the Cable
1.
Snip the cable end at the indentations in the cable jacket between the center fiber element
and the two outer conductor elements
.
2.
While holding the center fiber element in as straight a line as possible, carefully peel each
conductor away from the center fiber tube for a distance of about 220 cm.
