• Maximum of seven splice trays can be accommodated within the splice housing (one
reserved for Feeder splicing and six for Distribution splicing). Each splice tray holds six
heatshrink mass fusion splices for a maximum of 72 splices per tray.
• Feeder splicing occurs in the bottom splice tray in the splice housing with Distribution
splicing in subsequent trays above.
• Two sub-units (jacketed or braided tubing) with three 12-fiber ribbons per sub-unit can be
strain-relieved to each feeder splice tray.
• Two sub-unit pigtails from the back of the Input Fiber Field panel to the feeder splice tray are
pre-routed at the factory and stored for splicing.
• Two sub-units (jacketed or braided tubing) with three 12-fiber ribbons per sub-unit strain-
relieved to each distribution splice tray.
• Two sub-unit pigtails from the back of the Distribution panel to the distribution splice tray are
pre-routed at the factory and stored for splicing.
10.1 Feed Cable into Enclosure
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
Step 1:
Open the interior swing panel by lifting the
latch on the right side of the panel to access
the cable entry/exit location of the enclosure.
Step 2:
Determine where the cable will enter the
enclosure and remove the appropriate knock-
out.
Step 3:
Loosely install a watertight fitting into the
hole from which the knock-out was removed.
Select the appropriate feeder or distribution
cable installation kit for the cable being
installed. One kit for each cable size is
provided.
Step 4:
Feed the cable through the fitting into the
enclosure (Figure 13).
