10. Load Express Fibers
IMPORTANT:
Basic ribbon fiber routing requires Ribbon “A” spliced to Ribbon “B.” Ribbon “B” will be routed to
the side of the splice plane opposite from Ribbon “A.”
•
For sub-ribbon splicing, split the ribbon matrix with appropriate equipment (P/N RST-000
or equivalent) and separate ribbon matrix within 6 in of cable sheath opening. Secure this
separation point with tape.
Step 1:
Form the subunits from each cable into a single slack loop placed into the middle storage
compartment of the frame
and cover. Route the extra length toward the side storage
compartments.
NOTE:
Do not yet route any fibers or subunits in the side storage compartment, but rather let subunit lay free
until splicing each subunit.
