6-26 Routing and terminating the VF cables
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 6-5 (continued)
Connecting the VF cable pairs 601–1200 to 710 or 3M MS2 DPM connectors with cross-connect
Step Action
1 Route and dress the column 3 binder groups from the top of the outside plant
compartment to the bottom.
Note:
Follow the binder group order in Table 6-2 on page 6-24.
2 Separate the appropriate binder group (per Table 6-2 on page 6-24) at each
of the two cable ladder bars on the left side of the compartment.
Note:
Always place one tie wrap above and one below the binder group that
is being separated from the cable.
3 Extend the cables across the horizontal swing frame support bars (see
Figure 6-12 on page 6-27).
4 Continue to secure the remaining column 3 binder groups up the cable ladder
(see Figure 6-13 on page 6-28).
5 Extend the cables across the cable support bars and attach them to the first
cabinet support bar using a tie wrap (see Figure 6-12 on page 6-27).
6 Route and tie wrap the column 3 binder groups on top of the existing cable
(see Figure 6-14 on page 6-29).
7 Form the cables so they will compress on the ladder rung when tie wrapped.
Note:
Be sure to maintain about 6–8 inches of slack toward the hinge side of
the swing frame.
8 Position Column 2 connectors above and below the support bar.
9 Route Column 3 binder group against the support bar.
10 Secure both connectors and the column 3 binder groups in this position.
11 Repeat all previous steps in this section until the last column 3 binder group
has been separated from the 600-pair cable and routed to its respective
position on the horizontal support bar (violet/ brown).
