a. Record the label information (cable number, range of optical ports, and serial number)
that is applied to each cable and then tag each cable so it can be identified when the
cable jacket is removed for splicing.
b. Cut off the non-functional connector and discard.
c. Determine the point at which the microcable will be attached to the splice tray and
then strip back the cable jacket to expose the optical fibers.
d. Splice the microcable optical fibers to the appropriate optical fibers following local
policies and procedures. Refer to
to determine the optical port designations for
the microcable optical fibers.
e. When the microcables with non-functional connectors have been spliced, proceed to step 9.
7. Do the following for each microcable terminated with 12-connector fanout assemblies:
a. If the fanout is wrapped within a pulling sock, such as shown in
pulling sock from the end of the microcable by first peeling away the tape and then
cutting the two cable ties at the point shown. Next, slide the sock off the cable
assembly and remove the pink bag from the connectors. If a pipe protection is also
present (used for fanout assemblies with 900 micron fibers only), remove the pipe
(refer to
).

Note:
For cables equipped with 12-connector fanout assemblies, kits are available for
securing the fanouts to an Optical Distribution Frame including NGF, NG3, LSX, FCM,
and NG4access. A universal kit is also available for attaching 9 foot long 2 mm fanout
assemblies to a Glide or interbay management panel.
