Preparing Fiber Cables for Splicing
Step 1:
Open the cable to expose the buffer tubes/ribbons for
splicing, mid-spanning the cable if applicable.
Note:
Max cable opening for a 144 fiber loose tube cable will be
11 feet (132 inches), 8 feet (96 inches) of slack and 3 feet (36
inches) for splicing in the splice tray.
Step 2:
Trim the cable’s strength member, on each end if
mid-spanning, to approximately 3 inches.
Step 3:
Trim the remaining cable entrance 1/2 grommets to fit the cable(s) you will be bringing in (max outer diameter 3/4”).
If no cable will be present in an entrance location, leave the grommets untrimmed, but still insert them into their locations in
the end plates.
Step 4:
Place the cable into the terminal at the chosen cable
entrance/exit, making sure that the compression grommet is set
into the end plate behind.
Step 5:
Slide the strength member into the clamp and secure it
in place.
Step 6:
Place the provided hose clamp over the cable and
tighten, securing it in place to the bulkhead. The cable jacket
opening should be located at least 1/4” past the hose clamp.
Note:
If mid-spanning/expressing cable, complete steps 4-6
again on the other end of the cable opening.
