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.
Note: Cables may enter the panel from either the top or bottom and may be clamped to
either the left or right side.
2. Strip back OSP cable buffer tube approximately 66-inches (167.64 cm) to expose optical
fibers. Follow cable manufacturer's recommendations when stripping the sheath.
3. Break out the OSP cable corresponding to the dimensions given in
. Follow cable
manufacturer's recommendations when stripping the sheath.
