4. Insert the end of the feeder cable into the compression fitting and pull through
about 10 feet (3 meters) of cable.
5. Strip back the feeder cable sheath
103 inches
(260 cm) to expose the fiber
subunits/ribbons and the cable strength members.
6. Install breakout and cable grounding kits as specified by local practice. Follow the
installation instructions provided with each kit.
7. Locate the cable clamp and the assorted grommets that are provided separately.
8. Determine the correct size grommet by first measuring the
outside
diameter of
the cable and then measuring the
inside
diameter of the grommets.
9. Select the grommet whose inside diameter is the next size smaller than the
diameter of the cable. For example, if the cable is 0.57 inches in diameter, select
the 0.5 inch grommet.
10. Adjust cable to remove any excess slack from the cabinet interior and then loosely
assemble the cable clamp and grommet on the cable as shown in
.
Leave 7/8-inches (+ 1/8-inch) of the cable sheath showing above the grommet.

11. If the feeder cable is an OSP cable, or an IFC cable with a central strength
member, install a hose clamp (shipped with loose parts) over the end of the cable
as shown in
.
Note:
A breakout kit is recommended when installing OSP ribbon cable. The
breakout kit includes plastic tubes that protect the fiber ribbons and prevent
damage. Instructions for trimming the protective tubes to length are provided in
. A grounding kit is required if the cable is equipped with a metallic
shield or strength member. Install the cable grounding kit prior to securing the
cable to the cabinet.
Note:
Grommets are sized according to their inside diameter. Five different size
grommets (0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, or 0.7 inches) are provided with the cabinet.
