Action
Step Action
1 Use a QTBIX16A tool (black blade down) to terminate cable pairs to each
connector on the front of the swing frame.
2 Remove the connector assembly from the retainers.
3 Rotate the connector assemblies so that the outside plant cabling exits
through the rear of the connector retainer.
4 Push connector inside the retainer to leave the front side for the
cross-connect.
Note:
The recommended layout is to reserve the first 12 connectors in each
column as feeder (color coded green). Connector numbers 11 and 12 in the
second column are vacant. The remaining vacant positions in each column
are designated for distribution (color coded blue) and OSP DS1 terminations.
5 Plug the VF cable entry hole with epoxy or equivalent compound when all
OSP cable terminations are complete. When done, close the termination
compartment door.

CAUTION
Use the proper QTBIX16A cutting edge
The QTBIX16A tool connects each wire to the BIX
connector and trims off the excess. Make sure that the
cutting edge is on the correct side. A button on the handle
selects either the “Cut” or “No Cut” position.
