Importing of the cables
The cables can be brought into the cabinet either from above or from the bottom. The cables are imported
from the inside of the brackets on the back of the cabinet, where they are grounded if necessary. The fibers
are imported in protective tubes on to splice trays. The splice trays are fitted on the splice tray holder.
Note, when installing cables during the splicing phase, cables are not attached to the cabinet brackets.
The ends of the cables are brought through the lower part of the cabinet to the front of the cabinet,
where the peeling of the cables and splicing is carried out. The splicing is done to the ready-assembled
NAF1000 pigtail cables.
The cables are brought into the cabinet in the following stages:
•
Release the lock at the bottom of the rotating frame and turn it completely open.
•
Pull the ends of the cables out from the bottom of the cabinet.
•
Pull the ends of the cables out of the cabinet, over the cable peeling length, which is about 250 cm
to allow the cables to be handled properly during peeling.
•
If necessary, cut off the extra cable lengths
