Routing and Terminating Fibers
Route fibers from the splice location to the termination location. The termination equipment and location may vary by config
-
uration:
• With the pigtail splicing method, you typically route pigtails from the splice tray to a distribution panel and plug the pigtail
connectors into the panel. You can then use jumpers to connect to the optical equipment from the distribution panel.
• With the jumper splicing method, you typically route jumpers from the splice tray directly to the optical equipment. No
intermediate patch panel is typically used.
Route and terminate fibers per your application requirements and local practice. Clearfield offers optional fiber distribution
systems, including 12-, 24-, 48- or 96-position fiber splice or distribution panels. Adapters are available with SC or LC con
-
nector options.
DANGER! CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION MAY BE PRESENT.
Fiber optic
radiation can cause severe eye damage or blindness. Do not look into the open end of an optical fiber.
To route and terminate fibers to equipment
At the splice tray, locate the fiber pigtails or jumpers to route and terminate.
Route the fibers to the termination point and temporarily drape on the equipment.
Terminate the fibers using one of the following methods:
• Direct connection:
Connect jumpers to the optical equipment.
• Fiber distribution bulkhead:
Connect pigtails to the adapter plugs on the back side of the bulkhead.
• Fiber termination cassette:
a.
Open the cassette and connect pigtails to the adapter plugs inside the cassette.
b.
Coil the slack fiber inside, and then close the cassette.
c.
Slide the cassette into any available position in the cassette holder (hook side down), and fold the cas
-
sette holder back flush against the bracket.
If necessary, neatly coil any excess slack fiber into an arrangement that won't interfere with or become
snagged on the equipment.
Dress and secure fibers in place with Velcro straps.
