Optical Splitter Routing
Record the fiber splitter number and port designations in the space provided on a designation card. Additional designation
cards can be ordered from Clearfield.
Install the splitter into the top-most usable slot in the splitter cage and lock into place using the splitter retainer pin.
Route the fibers from the splitter over to and around the right side of the D-spool in the lower right side of the cabinet. Then
route the fibers to the top-most radius spool in the upper right side of the cabinet, loop the fibers over the radius limiter and
across the two support fingers. Install the staging plate into the brackets located in the top corners of the cabinet.
Slide any excess slack in the fibers back to the bottom of the cabinet, if installed correctly the fiber will hang from the splitter
module and not rest on the floor of the cabinet. The input and output pigtails for the fiber splitter are stored and accessed
in the staging plate located in the top corners of the cabinet. Route the input pigtail to the feeder port. The input pigtail is
identified by the red booted connector. Route the output pigtails to the distribution ports.
Note:
The splitters should be installed starting at the top of the storage bracket to the bottom so that fiber crossing is
minimized.
