Install as shown. IN: maximum 6 tubes. OUT: maximum 6 tubes
4.1.15 Remove twists in the ribbons.
a)
If ribbons are according ITU norms: use the unraveling device.
The numbers indicate the number of ribbons you want to bundle
(3-4-5 or 6). 3 sizes of ribbon can be handled: ribbon 12, 8 and 4
(3 groove sizes).
b)
In other cases use local practice.
4.1.16 Slide the tool over the ribbons. Bundle at the end using Teflon
tape (bundle in groups as you want to feed them through the tubes).
Remove the unraveling device.
4.1.17 Mount the tube divider (if needed) on the metal tray. Cut the
tubes coming from the break-out device to length. Remove the tube
divider to have better access to split out the ribbons.
4.1.18 Insert the tubes in the connectors. Use 6 positions at the left
when cable is mounted at the left side of the bracket. Feed the fiber
groups in the tubes. Start at the back to have easy access. Avoid
crossings of the fibers.
