Figure 18. Removing Blue Tape
5. Based on the location of other equipment at the site, determine whether the cable would be
best routed from the rear or front of the panel.
6. If the cable will be routed from the rear of the panel, start unwinding the internal spool by
pulling on both the microcable connector pulling eye and the cable, causing the internal
spool and attached bulkhead panel to rotate.
Note:
Provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance on the rear side of the panel to allow
the spool to rotate freely as the microcable is unwound.
Caution:
If the cable fails to unwind, check for obstacles or obstructions that would prevent the
spool from turning. The maximum recommended pull force that may be applied to the MPO
connector pulling eye, fanout assembly pulling sock stub connector pulling eye, or to the cable
itself is 40 lbs. (18.14 kg)
.
Caution:
Avoid using excessive force when unwinding microcable from the internal spool.
Use
the hand-wrap method if pulling on the cable by hand; refer to
.
