PON Configuration - Cable Entrance and Splicing
1.
If necessary, remove the cassettes from the PON insert. This is achieved
by loosening the retaining screw’s on the right side of the cassettes and
sliding the cassettes out from the rails on the left.
2.
Cables to be installed can be secured to the bracket of the pedestal
using zip ties or hose clamps. When attaching the cables to the back
plate using zip ties, it is very important to not fully tighten the zip ties
around the cable. Each zip tie should allow at least 1/8” of clearance on
all sides. This is important as the cable will need to piston or freely move
inside the zip tie independently from the pedestal in the case of ground
heave.
Note:
Clearfield recommends opening about 15 feet of cable for use in
the FiberFirst Pedestal. 3 feet of fiber is needed inside the cassette for
splicing, so be sure to include that in your total cable prep length.
3.
Route the fiber out around the outside of the PON insert.
