grommet in the base of the splice housing and/or through the grommet in the base of
the enclosure.
Step 3:
Attach the ground wire to the ground bar in the upper right side wall of the enclosure
(Figure 12).
Step 4:
Close the panel and secure the latch as shown in Figure 11. Close the pedestal skirt
door and splice housing door, if opened in Step 2 above.
Step 5:
Attach ground wire to building ground per local standard practices.
9. Managing Fiber
The enclosure can be ordered in several cable configurations. Before beginning work
operations, read the instructions that follow to determine which operations are required for your
unit.
If feeder or distribution cable is
field-installed (unconnectorized),
Proceed to
Section 9.1, then to Section 10
If feeder or distribution cable is
preinstalled (stubbed),
Section 9.2, then to Section 12
9.1 Field-installed Unconnectorized Feeder and Distribution Cable Option
When the enclosure is ordered without feeder or distribution cable preinstalled at the factory,
the installer is responsible for installing, strain-relieving, splicing and mating connectors in the
distribution and feeder adapter fields.
9.2 Preinstalled Connectorized Feeder And Distribution Cable Option
When the enclosure is ordered with the fully connectorized cable configuration, the Feeder
cable (F1) will be mated in the factory to the rear of the input fiber field. The connectorized
Distribution cable (F2) will also be installed in the factory and the connectors will be mated in
the rear of the distribution field. If splitter modules are factory-installed, their input fibers will be
mated to the front of the input fiber field and the output fibers will be mated to the front of the
storage/parking panel.
Step 1:
Once service has been ordered, remove the appropriate connector from the “stored/
parked” position, clean the end-face and adapter as described in Section 15, and
mate the connector in front of the distribution field.
Step 2:
Record the distribution fiber connection information on the label provided on the front
door of this enclosure.
10. Installing Unconnectorized Cable
Key Notes for Cable Installation
• Watertight fitting must be installed on the cable and entry port to prevent water intrusion.
One kit for each cable size is included.
• Cable strain-relief will be employed at the entry/exit port.
• Routing and splicing techniques are applicable to Feeder and Distribution cables and to
Pigtails.
Key Notes for Splicing
• Rotational access is provided to the splice trays within the splice housing.
