Routing and splicing the fiber cable 7-
This section provides installation procedures for the routing and splicing of the
fiber cables in the Series 800A cabinet.
When the OSP fiber cable is spliced at an external location, you should bond
and ground the cable at that location so that only the fiber patch cords enter the
cabinet. When the OSP fiber cable is spliced at the internal fiber management
unit, the OSP cable enters the cabinet directly and you may bond and ground
it in either the termination compartment or at the fiber management system.
How to use this chapter
In the following table, you will find a list of the procedures to route and splice
the outside plant fiber cable for the AccessNode S800A Outside Plant cabinet.
Perform the procedures in the order listed. If you cannot successfully complete
these procedures, contact your next level of support.
Note: The installation steps outlined in this chapter are suggested
procedures. Operating companies may complete the steps using their own
fiber management practices.
