Section Eleven: Splicing in the Module
The following are instructions for splicing fibers within the C2X splice cassette module.
NOTE:
Use care to maintain bend radius and not damage fibers.
1. Remove top clear cover of the cassette to start the splicing process. C2X modules are provided with one
meter of pre-terminated 250µm pigtails (ribbon or stranded), Kevlar clamp, IFC holder and splice sleeves.
2. Uncoil the pre-terminated pigtails out of the cassette.
3. Insert IFC cable into IFC holder leaving a minimum of 12" (maximum 1 meter) of 250µm fiber to be routed
counter-clockwise from the insertion point.
4. Leave approximately 1" of Kevlar out of the sheathing and secure to the Kevlar clamp with provided screw.
5. Secure IFC cable to cable manager tab with provided zip tie as shown below.
