Procedure 4-3 (continued)
Butting and stripping the fiber cable
Step Action
8 Spread and pull the plastic
wrap off of the cable to expose the cable
pairs.
9 Cut two inches (5.08 cm) down at the 8-inch (20.32 cm) mark on the cable
towards the cable conduit parallel to the point where the grounding
shield is
folded.
10 Cut one inch (2.54 cm) to the left, across (perpendicular to) the cable.
Note:
This creates the bonding clamp mounting location on the cable. Later,
a bond clamp will be attached to this door or flap in order to ground both of
the cables.
11 Install protective buffer tubing around the exposed fibers after the fiber cable
has been butted and stripped.
12 Install protective split flex tubing around all of the buffer tubes after the fiber
cable has been butted and stripped.
13 Secure the split flex tubing, with the protected fibers inside, to the cable ladder
on the right-hand side of the termination compartment.
