10.4 Replacing a Damaged Fiber or Connector
A damaged fiber or connector can usually be replaced. The following describes the various
replacement options.
•
Damaged Splitter Output Fiber:
Replace the splitter output fiber from the connector all
the way back into the splitter. Splice a new pigtail (use only pigtails with bend-optimized
fiber) to the remaining section of the old fiber within the splitter chassis. This procedure
requires removing and disassembling the splitter to insert a splice chip and to perform the
splice. A kit is available from ADC. Refer to ADCP-96-034 for the procedure.
•
Damaged Distribution or Feeder Connector:
Replace the connector at the bulkhead
adapter if just the connector alone is damaged. Use a field-installable connector
replacement kit. Refer to
for the replacement procedures.
