Use the following procedure to route the cable.
1. Determine whether a cable clamp
or compression fitting will be used to hold the cables. In
general, a cable clamp is intended for a larger diameter cable, but either method can be
used for securing the cable.
2. Strip the outer sheath of the cables to expose the inner fiber bundles as shown in Figure 26
above. The cable sheath should extend about 0.75 inch (1.9 c
m) beyond the cable clamp or
compression fitting.
3. If using a cable clamp, refer to Figure 19 and associated text in the procedure
above for the
12-fiber wall-mount box.
4. If using a compression fitting, refer to Figure 20 and associated text in the procedure
above for the 12-fiber wall-mount box.
5. If either cable being installed is an OSP cable
with a metallic strength member, bond the
cable to ground following the instructions for the bonding/grounding kit.
6. Route the fibers within the wa
ll-mount box as shown in Figure 26 and tie the fibers down
in the location shown
using cord lacing.
Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter, or into the launching (output) end
of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially
dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors
and adapters.
7. Refer to subsection 3.4, Splicing, below, for splicing instructions.
