CONNECT DISTRIBUTION FIBER
1. If not already removed, remove the shipping screws from each side of the swing down tray. A total of two screws
will be removed.
(Figure 3)
2. Using local engineering practices, determine the appropriate distribution fiber to be connected. Remove the
corresponding fiber storage cartridge from the swing down tray by pushing in and pulling up on the cartridge arms.
(Figure 19)
Note: The cartridges and distribution fibers are numbered to assist in fiber identification.
Additionally, distribution fibers may be identified by placing a red light on the customer side of the fiber
and locating the fiber on the swing down tray. (Figure 19)
3. Remove the desired distribution fiber from the cartridge by sliding the connector out of the housing location
and continue to route the cable out of the cartridge.
4. For best practice, it is recommended that the distribution fiber be removed from
all Velcro and routed back to the cable transition.
Ensuring the distribution fiber has a clear path to the fiber routing section of the IDC.
5. Use local accepted practices to clean the distribution fiber connector end face.
6. Connect the distribution fiber to the appropriate port on the IDEAA Splitter Module.
Use the foam fiber relief to route the distribution fiber to the fiber routing section
of the IDC, employing a similar technique to that used with the input
jumper cable.
