4.2 Fiber Installation Procedures (All Except 1RU)
4.2.1 Splicing (All Except 1RU)
The paragraphs that follow contain installation and routing procedures required for splicing IFC to
network elements in 2RU, 3RU, and 4RU LCX Splice Panels.
4.2.1.1 Installing & Routing IFC Fiber
An optional cable clamp is required for installing IFC to an LCX Fiber Splice Panel. (See
“Accessories” on page 49.)
1. Route IFC to a rear corner entrance of the LCX Fiber Splice Panel, as shown in Figure 41.
IFC can be routed from the bottom up or top down at either rear corner of the splice panel.
NOTE:
Coiling, routing, and storage of fiber from IFC and network elements work best if the
IFC and network element leads exit/enter the splice panel at either the same side of the panel
(IFC at the rear and network fiber at the front) or at the two rear corners.
2. Measure an additional 83 in. (2110 mm) and then trim excess IFC.
3. Before clamping the IFC to the panel, strip away the sheathing from this last 83 inches of IFC
to expose the subunits.
4. For stranded cable, strip away the leading 24 inches (610 mm) of tubing to expose the
900-µm fiber.
5. Assemble the cable clamp, as shown in Figure 42.
