Large CTU (CTU-L)
can terminate strength members (rods
up to Ø 4mm (0.16’’) and aramid yarn).
In one CTU holder 2 or 3 of these CTU’s can be installed.
Cable diameter range from 5-16 mm (0.20-0.63’) and flat
cable.
Small CTU (CTU-S)
can terminate aramid yarn. 4 or 5 of
these CTU’s can be installed in one CTU holder. Cable
diameter is up to 6 mm (0.24’’).
4.2.7.
Cable seal
The enclosure is sealed with in total 8 gel seal segments. Two
of the seal segments are the side seal segments and do not
hold a cable.
The other 6 segments can vary depending on the amount of
cables and diameter of cables required. For an overview,
refer to the eCatalog.
The gels seals are available in the SKG’s (sealing kit gel).
4.2.8.
Loop storage area
Unused looped tube/subunits can be stored between the
metal brackets at the back side of the organizer If the unused
loops of the feeder cable should be stored, the feeder cable
should be installed in the middle gel seal segment at the
back side of the enclosure.
4.2.9.
Fiber dressing tool and wedge
A fiber dressing tool to guide the fibers under the hooks and
lips of the tray and the channels, is stored at the backside
of the organizer. It is advised to store the fiber dressing tool
again in its holder after installation.
A wedge to support the trays is only available in the C6
enclosure in combination with the A24/S24 tray. The purpose
of it is to prevent the tray from falling down when hinged
open to work on the tray below.
4.2.1.
Towers
The towers contain the snap features to hold the trays.
There are two towers available, with a different pitch between
the trays. The tower mounted on the B6/C6H size has a
pitch of 4mm. The tower mounted on a C6 size has a pitch
of 6mm.
4.2.2.
Trays
Trays should be mounted on the tower in the field. They are
either part of the kit content or can be ordered separately.
See the eCatalog for more information about the different
types.
Splice trays
as well as
patch trays
are available to use in
the TENIO. Splice trays are designed to hold SMOUV or ANT
splice protectors depending the type. A FAS is used in all
splice trays, providing an R40 bend radius. Minimum over
length storage per splice side on the tray is 1.2m (47’’).
4.2.3.
FAS (Fiber Arrangement System)
The two drums in the FAS area are used to redirect the fiber
routing. Fibers can change direction by making an S-shape
over the drums. The area is also used to allow inter tray
jumps: fibers routed from one tray to the other need to
pass the FAS. Also on the trays a FAS is used to redirect the
routing of the fiber.
4.2.4.
Passive optical components storage
Depending the application, fiber storage (for example dark
fiber) can be stored in this area as well as passive optical
components (POC). A dove tail interface cut out is used
to install the POC’s in this area. The C6 size enclosure can
accommodate more POC’s then the B6 size. Field installable
splitter sub-assemblies with Fused biconoc Taper (FBT) or
PLC splitters are available. See eCatalog for more details.
The fiber guidance channels bring the fibers to the trays, the
FAS or to the POC storage area.
4.2.5.
Tube/subunit holder
Tube/subunit holders are present on the front side as well
as on the back side of the organizer. In the tube/subunit
holder area, the jacket is removed from the tubes/subunits.
Only 250µm fiber continue from this point.
The area is
designed to control tube/subunit grow in/ grow out up to
20 mm. The tube/subunit is pushed in one of the channels
and the fiber is routed to fiber guidance channels left or
right. The fiber can also be guided from the back side of the
organizer to the front side to access the trays.
To keep the tube/subunits in place, a piece of orange tubing
is cut to length and pushed on top of the tube/subunit.
A pre-installed transparent protection lid covers the tube/
subunit holder.
4.2.6.
CTU holder area
In the CTU (Cable Termination Unit) holder area, the black
CTU holders are installed. The black CTU holders are
available in the SKG’s (sealing kit gel). There are 2 models,
one model for small CTU’s (CTU-S) used with cables with a
diameter up until 6 mm (0.24’’), and one for large CTU’s
(CTU-L) used with cables with a diameter up to 16mm (0.63’’)
