PASS-THROUGH ROUTING PROCEDURE
Pass-through routing is used when it is necessary for a feeder cable optical signal to be routed
directly to a distribution port. This involves connecting a patch cord between the terminated
feeder cable connector and the appropriate distribution port. Open cabinet doors and swing
frames as needed to access the referenced components.

Splitter Compartment Pass-Through Routing Procedure
Use the following procedure to route a jumper patch cord between the splitter compartment and
one of the distribution panels.
1. Locate an open splitter mounting position.
2. Remove the dust cap assembly from the selected splitter slot.
3. Remove the feeder cable connector(s) from the rear of the splitter compartment (see
4. Clean the feeder cable connector(s) as specified in the Optical Fiber Systems Cleaning and
Mating Instructions (ADCP-90-159).
5. Reinstall the feeder cable connector(s) at the rear of the splitter compartment.
6. Obtain the optical patch cord (accessory) recommended for the pass-through connection.
7. Remove the ferrule dust cap from one of the patch cord connectors and then clean the
connector as specified in the Optical Fiber Connector Wet and Dry Cleaning Instructions
(ADCP-90-159) or by locally approved procedures.
8. Install the patch cord connector in the dust cap assembly as shown in
.
9. Connect the patch cord connector(s) to the feeder cable connector(s) by inserting the dust
cap assembly into the splitter slot as shown in
.
10. Locate the distribution panel and the optical port to which the pass-through patch cord is
to be connected.
11. Refer to the procedures in
to route the pass-through patch cord to the
distribution panel and to connect the patch cord connector to the appropriate optical port.
Warning:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
.
Note:
Two patch cord connectors may be installed in the dust cap assembly if required.
