Protecting splices inside STP enclosures
Once the splices are made they are protected inside outdoor-rated enclosures which are usually
attached to the protected fence. The STP enclosure includes a security screw to secure the
latched enclosure. A T-10 security bit is required to use the security screw.
1.
Wrap the supplied felt tape three times around the ends of both sensor cables so the tape is
flush with the end of each black jacket and slide the grommet so it is 6 mm away from the tape.
2.
Slide the supplied cable ties into the slots in the splice tray.
3.
Place the sensor cable into the cable guides so the end of the buffer tube is flush with the
inside of the tray then tighten the cable tie over the tape and cut off the end of the tie.
4.
Slide the grommet to within 6 mm of the felt tape.
