WARNINGS

• READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

• DISCONNECTED OPTICAL COMPONENTS MAY EMIT INVISIBLE OPTICAL RADIATION THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR EYES. TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, never look directly into an optical component that may have a laser coupled to it. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a physician for an eye examination.

CAUTIONS

• TO AVOID INJURY, wearing safety glasses during installation of this device is recommended. Although standard safety glasses provide no protection from potential optical radiation, they offer protection from accidental airborne hardware and cleaning solvents.

• Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well ventilated areas.

• Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending and crushing forces. Do not bend the cable less than recommended bend radius. Do not use more pulling force than specified. Do not kink or crush the cable.

2. Prepare fiber.

Determine termination location. Depending on cable construction, breakout and/or furcation may be required.

NOTE: Incoming cable opening is 7.6 mm. Evaluate incoming fiber to verify correct sizing.

• High count cable: overall fiber cabling larger than the following requires breakout prior to install:

>36 fiber for MTP splice modules

>12 fiber for LC splice modules

• Tight buffered cable: 12 fiber cable can be routed directly to the splice module. Overall fiber cabling larger than 7.6 mm, secure the cable to the enclosure cable management tie down points according to the device instructions, remove the outer jacket after the tie down point and utilize the mesh sleeve provided in this accessory kit to protect and route the individual fibers to the module.

• Loose tube cable: if overall fiber cabling larger than 7.6 mm and correctly sub-unitized under cable jacket, secure cable to tie down points, remove jacket after tie down points and route sub-unit tubes to each module.

3. Route fiber.

a. Remove at least 35 mm of outer cable jacket.

NOTE: Do not store excessive fiber slack within the module housing. Achieve minimal slack by routing fiber(s) in the widest path available under the wire management tabs as shown in the routing diagrams. All other required slack storage should be performed in the fiber enclosure and/or available pathway outside the enclosure.

b. Feed incoming cable(s) through the rear opening and secure through the tie wrap slots and over the cable jacket with nylon tie.

NOTE: Tie wrap will be removed prior to termination.

4. Prepare pigtail assembly (single fiber [Option A] or mass fusion [Option B])

NOTE: Cut pigtail after making Zero Mark.

5. Route pigtail fibers.

a. Route pigtail fibers counter clockwise.

• When splicing single fiber, route the fibers one full loop and mark at Zero Mark.

• When performing mass fusion splices, route the fiber two full loops and mark at Zero Mark.

b. Remove pigtail fibers from module, leaving connectors mated into adapters.

6. Route trunk fibers.

a. Route trunk fibers clockwise.

b. Mark all fibers at Zero Mark.

c. Remove all fibers from module.
