STANDARD RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE 003-737 | ISSUE 4 | MAy 2015 | PAGE 20 OF 25
Step 1:
Remove the cover from the splice tray
by lifting up on the center of the cover
and sliding the cover from beneath the
retaining tabs at the end of the tray
(Figure 29).
Step 2:
Secure the braided tubing to the splice
tray using cable ties. Pigtails are strain-
relieved to the holes nearest the outside
edge of the splice tray. Preroute 48 in of
ribbon (at least 1 to 2 loops) inside the
splice tray to the organizer in the middle
of the tray. Cut the excess fiber.
Step 3:
Bring both cut ends and the splice
tray to the splicing equipment. Slide
heatshrink protectors onto the fibers.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the instruction manual for your
splice equipment for detailed splicing
instructions.
Step 4:
Cleave, clean and splice the connectorized
pigtails to the Feeder or Distribution cable
in accordance with the instructions provided
with the splicing equipment.
Step 5:
Return and route the fibers within the splice
tray, securing the splice point within the
organizer and routing slack around the
organizer and within the interior of the tray
(Figure 30).
Step 6:
Reinstall the splice tray cover ensuring the tray cover is captured beneath the
retaining tabs at the ends of the tray. Return the splice tray to the rotating shelf within
the splice housing.
IMPORTANT:
Labels have been provided in the splice tray kit to provide appropriate means of
identifying and recording each splice. Record splices on the label and adhere to the top
of each splice tray.
Step 7:
Secure splice trays to the splice tray shelf using the hook-and-loop strap provided.
Step 8:
Subsequent splicing within the remaining trays is to be handled the same manner.
