4.7 Loading Splice Trays
The Universal Mount Splice Cabinet uses the FOST-ACC-D-TRAY-RR-288-KIT splice tray. Each
splice tray accommodates four splice chips, each with six 12-fiber mass fusion splices, for a
capacity of twenty four 12-fiber mass fusion splices (288 spliced fibers) per tray. Use the follow-
ing procedure.
1.
Remove the splice cabinet cover.
2.
Route the fiber cables to be spliced through the overhead cable pathway and to the
location of the splice cabinet. Ensure that there is a minimum of 15 feet of cable stub
available to work with from the point at which the cables will enter the top of the splice
cabinet.
3.
Remove the cable access bar from the top of the splice cabinet by removing the two
Phillips head screws and place the bar and the screws aside for re-installation later.
Refer to
Figure 22. Removing Cable Access Bar
4.
Break out each cable to be spliced as described in
and in the
installation instructions for the mesh breakout kits (CommScope document number TC-
96271-IP). 144-fiber cables will have 12 ribbons (144-fibers) per mesh tube subunit. All
other cables will have 24 ribbons (288-fibers) per subunit. The cable sheath entry point
should fall between 6”-8” from the top of the splice cabinet once the cables have been
installed in the cabinet.
