4.3 Removing Splice Trays
After being installed, a splice tray can be removed. For example, this is done when moving the
splice tray to a work surface to perform splices.To remove a splice tray from the tray holder
bracket, use the following procedure.
1.
Unfasten the hook-and-look strap.
2.
Lift up the splice trays above the tray of interest and fasten them in place using the hook
and hook-and-loop strap.
3.
Take hold of the tray of interest and pull the tray hinge out of the tray holder bracket.
4.
If the splice tray has already been loaded with fibers, be sure to carefully free up any
stored cable as you move away from the cabinet.
4.4 Breaking Out Facility Cables
lists the RIBCBOUT series breakout kits available for use with facility cables. All facility
cables are broken out to the same dimensions (shown in
). These dimensions allow
approximately 6 feet (1.83 m) of working length for moving the splice tray to a convenient work
surface. When the splice tray is returned to the cabinet, the cable management features in the
cabinet are used to store slack as needed.
Use the following procedure to break out facility cables.
1.
Strip back the cable jacket to expose the internal fiber ribbons. Strip the cable at a dis-
tance of 166 in. (421.6 cm) from the lead end of the cable as shown in
.
