FEEDER AND DISTRIBUTION CABLE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
The 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet is equipped with pre-installed OSP feeder and
distribution cables. The cable stub ends must be spliced to the network feeder and distribution
cables at a separate splice enclosure (not provided). The feeder and distribution stub cables are
100 feet (30.5 meters) in length. The following sections describe how the cables are configured
for splicing.
5.1
OSP Feeder Cable Configuration
The feeder cable may have a fiber count of 12, 24, 48, or 72 fibers depending on the option
ordered. Within the cabinet, the feeder cable is secured with a pair of clamps. Beyond the
clamps, the outer sheath of the cable is removed to expose the optical fiber subunits. Depending
on the option ordered, the cable subunits are routed to the splitter compartment and/or the
sliding adapter pack. The subunits are numbered and the individual fibers are color-coded for
identification. Always perform a light test before splicing to determine the port location for each
fiber. A diagram of the feeder cable routing is shown in
Figure 15. Feeder Cable Typical Configuration
The cabinet may be ordered with either one or two splitters pre-installed. Up to forty-eight
splitters with either single or dual input ports may be mounted in the cabinet. Designation labels
are provided on top of the splitter compartment and on the doors for recording feeder cable and
splitter module information. The splitters specified for use with the FDH 3000 cabinet are
equipped with bend-optimized fibers.
