Mass storage facility and twisted fibers: Using Basket
(single fiber, ribbon and compact cable sheet)
4.2.10 Start with mounting the basket.
4.2.12 Mount hinge on GCO.
4.2.13 Remove the cover by pulling it at the top of the basket (via the
opening). When the top of the cover clicks out of the snaps shove the
cover upward in the basket till it releases.
ST=Spiral tubing
4.2.16 All fibers are placed in the “fiber twist storage duct” as shown
on the figure above.
One has to place the fibers as far as
possible at the outside of the path
because when closing the
basket some overlength will be pulled out of the basket (risk of loading
fibers when basket is hinged).
4.2.17 At the point of separation, mass storage fibers and fibers to
drop out are separated. This is possible because all cable-twists are
stored in the “fiber twist storage duct”.
4.2.18 The fibers for mass storage are organised in the mass storage
area of the basket, the loop end is placed over one of the islands.
4.2.14 A large ST is wrapped around the twisted fiber bundle and
fixed in the loop bracket in the oval port. The length of the large ST is
given for each application.: 16 cm for loopbracket cc. In the table
below the capacities of this ST are given.

4.2.15 This large ST is placed in the right cavity of the basket by
bending the spiral tube and gliding it in its cavity when the basket is in
an almost closed position.
