Standard Recommended Procedure 206-337 | Issue 10 | August 2017 | Page 5 of 18
IMPORTANT:
Typical lengths when using Corning Optical Communications’ SCF-ST-126 splice trays are
illustrated. Refer to instructions provided with your Corning Optical Communications splice tray.
Since the actual application may vary, it is recommended to route the buffer tubes as they will lie
in the terminal to determine actual strip lengths before cutting fiber. Refer to routing illustrations
Step 1:
Remove cable sheath as described for your application:
•
For midspan applications, remove the length of cable sheath and armor (where applicable) as
indicated in Figure 2 according to the manufacturer’s directions for the cable type being installed.
Figure 2
•
For taut sheath applications, remove cable sheath as indicated in Figure 3. Taut sheath
applications are possible only in the SCA-9T34 terminal.
Figure 3
•
For endspan applications where the cable will be terminated to pigtails, remove cable sheath as
shown in Figure 4.
