5.2.10 Mount the GTU. Start at outside of the tray.
5.2.11 Strip the pre-mounted pigtails (see 5.1.7-5.1.8).
5.2.12 Splice the fibers. Place the splice protector in his holder, start
at outside of the tray. (hold the splice holder with finger to prevent
bending). Coil the fibers in the tray.

5.2.13 Check wether all fibers are properly routed before placing the
cover on the module. Fibers can not be on top of containment lips.
5.2.14
Remark
: storing non spliced fibers.
When not all 12 fibers are spliced at once: route the non-spliced fibers
on top of the stored fibers. Route them outside the storage zone to
have easy access at a later date, without disturbing active circuits.

5.3.1
For ease of installation start with the bottom tray. If possible
apply 1 wrap of foam tape around the IFC, just before the jacket end
(This foam prevents from easy pull-out and provides protection to the
fibers inside). Attach to the tray with 2 small tie-wraps. At least 1 tie-
wrap should be on top of the foam tape. Cut the excess length of the
tie-wrap. Make sure the tie wrap knob is at the side of the IFC. Don’t
squeeze the fibers.
5.3.2
For IFC and pigtail management, leave sufficient slack so that
the drawer can still be opened.
5.3.3
Plug the connectors into the appropriate connector adaptors.
5.3.4
Now the IFC can be coiled into the slack fiber storage area.
Fibers must be untangled before coiling.
