c. Connect the microcable MPO connector to the appropriate equipment MPO
connector. Labels are attached to each microcable, as shown in
, that identify
the cable number and the range of optical ports associated with the MPO connector.

d. When all the microcable MPO connectors are connected to the equipment MPO
connectors, proceed to step 14.
11. Complete the following for each stub end terminated with a non-functional connector:
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.
Note:
Do not cut off the non-functional connector before cable installation has been
completed or the integrity of the cable may be compromised.
