Installation Type “Direct”
This type of installation uses 12 or 24 fiber cables or multiple of them to the total of 48
connectorized ends. The acceptable cable sizes are up to 15 mm (0.6 in). The cables are either
connectorized with SCA, SCU, LCA or LCU connector or not. In the case of using not
connectorized cable, use pigtails to splice them onto the cable. Match the connector plug type
with the adapter type of the adapter bracket.
The 24 position adapter bracket comes populated with the adapters which match the type of
connector the drop cable is terminated with. Alternatively, if a un-connectorized cable is used,
pigtails can be spliced to the cable and the splice protectors along with the cable slack stored in
the provided pivoting splice trays.
The distribution cables, each in the range 1.6 -2mm in diameter, leave the enclosure through the
port having 5 plastic retainers. It is important to not use the cables having diameter outside of the
1.6-2.0 mm range since it may result in the cable damage and high optical losses or not sufficient
retention if smaller size cable is used. The port equipped with plastic retainers can accommodate
40 of 1.6-2.0mm cables. If you have more cable leaving the enclosure, use unused ports of two
rubber grommets.
