Routing and splicing the fiber cable 7-5
AccessNode Series 800A Outside Plant Cabinet Installation 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Procedure 7-1
Routing the OSP fiber cable directly to the FPP
This procedure explains how to route fiber optic OSP cables into the S800A
cabinet when the cable is run directly into the cabinet and spliced, bonded and
grounded at a fiber management system such as an ADC fiber patch panel.
Use these procedures when routing OSP fiber into the S800A cabinet.
Table 7-2 shows where to find information regarding fiber routing for:
• fibers to the fiber patch panel (FPP) from the OSP cable that is bonded and
grounded in the termination compartment
• fiber patch cords to the FPP from locations external to the S800A cabinet,
such as from a customer owned manhole
• fiber patch cords to the ABM from locations external to the S800A cabinet,
such as from a customer owned manhole
Prerequisites for installation
The prerequisites for routing and splicing the fiber cabling include:
• The cabinet has been mounted on the selected concrete pad as defined in
Chapters 1 through 6 of this practice.
• All hardware and materials are available and have been checked for
completeness and readiness for the installation.
• Fiber cable has been pulled into the termination compartment as described
in Chapter 4, “Installing the OSP cables”.
