Installing IFC/OSP Cable and Preparing for Splicing
Allow a fiber service loop of at least 126-inches (3.5 meters) when stripping the cable sheath.
This provides sufficient length for routing the buffer tubes within the panel and for splicing.
After entry, the buffer tubes are routed to the splice tray.
Use the following procedure to secure the IFC/OSP cable at the fiber entry point and to route the
optical fibers into the panel.
1. Route the IFC/OSP cable to the selected entry opening at the side of the panel.
2. Strip back cable sheath approximately 59.5-inches (151.1 cm) to expose optical fibers.
Follow cable manufacturer's recommendations when stripping the sheath.
3. Determine the correct clamp and grommet combination required to secure the cable to the
panel. For details on the cable clamp itself, refer to
4. If splicing is to be completed later coil the buffer tubes around the radius limiters on the
bottom of the panel and close rear cover. If splicing at the present time, follow local
practice to complete the splices. Route the IFC/OSP fibers within the splice tray as shown
in
for stranded fiber or
for ribbon fiber.
Note:
Cables may enter the panel from either the top or bottom and may be clamped to
either the left or right side. For cable routing. see
