6 Fiber routing on the trays
6.1
Splicing
For heat shrinkable splice protectors:
• slide the heat-shrinkable splice protector over one fiber;
• fuse the fibers according to local recommendations and procedures;
• after the fusion splice is made, install the heat shrinkable splice
protection (e.g. smouv) with appropriate heating source;
• allow the splice protection to cool down to ambient temperature.
For ANT splice protectors:
• fuse the fibers according to local recommendations and procedures;
• after the fusion splice is made, install the ANT splice protector with
appropriate tool.
6.2
Storage
After each splice is made, the splice should be stored in the splice holder.
Do not deform the splice during insertion. The fiber slack should be coiled
into the tray. Follow the routing as shown.
6.3
If a tray for up to 16 heat shrinkable fusion splice protectors
is used
• the tray organizer has 6 locations to store splice protectors. Each
location can hold maximum 4 fusion splice protectors of type smouv-
1120-02 (length 45 mm, installed outer diameter is 2,4 mm) or
equivalent.
• After each splice is made, the splice should be stored as indicated
on the drawing. First protector in position 1, the second in position
2. Continue for other fibers. Fiber nr 5 will be in position 1 of next
location.
5.5
Secure the frame to the base with the two metal latches.
5.6
Insert one port plug in each unused port
5.7
Turn the “tail” clock–wise until it dead ends at the positive stop.
A screwdriver can be installed through the hole in the “tail” to tighten
the seal.
5.8
Place a large tie-wrap around all the cables near the end of the
“tail”.
