STANDARD RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE 003-873 | ISSUE 2 | APRIl 2016 | PAGE 17 OF 18
Step 1:
Remove the cover from the splice tray by
lifting up on the center of the cover and
sliding the cover from beneath the retaining
tabs at the end of the tray (Figure 25).
Step 2:
Secure the braided tubing to the splice tray
using cable ties. Pigtails are strain-relieved
to the holes nearest the outside edge of the
splice tray. Preroute 48 inches of ribbon (at
least 1 to 2 loops) inside the splice tray to
the organizer in the middle of the tray. Cut
the excess fiber.
Step 3:
Bring both cut ends and the splice tray to
the splicing equipment. Slide heatshrink
protectors onto the fibers.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the instruction manual for your splice
equipment for detailed splicing instructions.
Step 4:
Cleave, clean and splice the connectorized pigtails to the Feeder or Distribution
cable in accordance with the instructions provided with the splicing equipment.
Step 5:
Return and route the fibers within the splice
tray, securing the splice point within the
organizer and routing slack around the
organizer and within the interior of the tray
(Figure 26).
Step 6:
Reinstall the splice tray cover ensuring the
tray cover is captured beneath the retaining
tabs at the ends of the tray. Return the
splice tray to the rotating shelf within the
splice housing.
IMPORTANT:
Labels have been provided in the splice tray kit to provide appropriate means of
identifying and recording each splice. Record splices on the label and adhere to the top
of each splice tray.
Step 7:
Secure splice trays to the splice tray shelf using the hook-and-loop strap provided.
Step 8:
Subsequent splicing within the remaining trays is to be handled the same manner.
11 . Installing Splitter Modules
Refer to the routing label on the inside of the cabinet door for a description of the cabinet layout
and installation sequence for installing modules. Preconnectorized output fibers fromthe splitter
modules can be mated inthe distribution field or routed to and stored in the connector parking
field for mating later. Follow procedure provided with the splitter module for instructions.
