Patch-out
(optional)
The device supports the ability to add patch-out fiber cables.
Depending on the model these couplers and/or pigtails are pre-installed in
the FMU.
• Connect the pigtail(s) to the patch out coupler.
• Splice the pigtail(s) with the feeder fiber(s).
• Place the splices in the splice holder.
Note: the number and type of patch out options depends on the specific
FTU model.
WDM combiner
(optional)
A WDM combiner is used for terminating a network with CATV services
on a separate RF-overlay fiber. Depending on the model it will be provided
with a pre-installed WDM combiner. To install:
• Roll out the Data and CATV fibers.
• Splice these two pigtails to the corresponding feeder fibers.
• Place the two splices in the splice holder.
• Store the overlength fibers in the FMU.
• Perform any tests required to guarantee the quality of the splices.
