Armored Cable Grounding
Armored Fiber optic cable metal sheaths may be terminated on the integral pem studs
(One on each side at the point of entry). A brass grounding nut is included in the
accessory kit. For proper grounding practices refer to ANSI/J-STD-607-A grounding
Standard.
Cable slack and routing (Fig. 5)
Adequate slack must be included inside the enclosure for sliding drawer to pull out.
Full extension of the drawer is 1 feet.
Molex recommends a minimum of 1 meter of slack be stored inside the enclosure for tight
buffered loose tube cables.
Provide minimum 5” to 6” of slack b/w the cable entry point and the point where the cable
begins to spool around the slack management spools or Velcro straps.
Do not install slack management spools when using Mod link MTP assemblies.
Mark cable jacket 18” back from MTP connector with a marker.
Secure cable with Velcro or wire ties at the point of entry
Route the slack inside the enclosure around the spool.
Group cables by side and secure them using the Velcro strap.
Velcro strap should be kept loose to allow flexing with opening and closing of drawer.

CAUTION:
Molex recommends wearing safety glasses When cutting fiber optic cable.
WARNING:
1.
Never look into the connector of MTP assembly or terminated fiber. Laser light may be present and is
invisible. Serious eye damage is possible.
2.
In the entire cases test the drawer after the fiber is secured to verify the drawer can open and close
without restriction.
