8.6.5 Splice Data
Data in the following tables was obtained from
splices prepared according to the instructions in this
practice. When the Bundle O.D. is close to Splice
Case or Sleeve I.D., the craftsperson must use extra
care not to exceed the maximum O.D.. If sealant
boxes are used, increase values approximately 25%.
8.6 Splice Planning
8.6.1 Splice sizing is necessary to determine the
proper sheath opening and the proper
splice closure size. Too many cable con-
ductors spliced in a closure without ade-
quate splice banks may stress wires with
module movement. Reentry and churning
conductors without proper planning leads
to rapid deterioration of cables at their
weakest point – the splice.
Calculate splice and closure size using the
following factors:
• Cable pair count
• Wire gauge
• Connector type
• Splicing method
8.6.2 Unilength Splicing Method
Wire is brought across the splice opening
plus 2" (51 mm.) Wire bundle must be
folded back and then spliced into the mod-
ule.

Splice Opening
893745
Unilength measurement is always used
when stubs are added to a splice and for
any distribution cables.
8.6.3 Inline Splicing Method
Wire is placed in a straight across arrange-
ment. This method is not designed to be
rearranged and should have minimum
handling.
8.6.4 Fold Back Splicing Method
Conductors are folded into the splice to
provide slack in the conductors for main-
tenance, rearrangement or transfer of con-
ductors.
