network access point (NAP) toward the optical network terminal (ONt). Attach the
pulling rope to the eye of the protective pulling grip of the cable and pull the cable
through the duct to the ONt. ensure that you do not exceed 50 lbf (pounds force) on
the cable (Figure 3).

NOTE:
If pulling from the ONt to the NAP is required, a pull line can be attached to the eye on the
