5.2.3 Bringing the pigtail cables from the NC-1000 frame

Guide the ends of the pigtail cables from the lower part of the inner frame and bring them 

• 

outside the frame below the lowest fixing plate and on the hinge side of the inner frame. 

Note. Do not fasten the cables to the lowest fixing plate because at this place the cables 

• 

shall have a possibility for slight movements. 

If the pigtail cables are routed from the frame downwards under the floor, they are looped 

• 

behind the frame in such a away that the cables are first brought upwards and then 

downwards on the right side of the frame (seen from the front) and towards the floor. 

Cables are bundled and fastened to the fixing plates of the frame.

If the pigtail cables are routed from the frame upwards e.g. to the cable shelf, make first 

• 

a small loop to the left (seen from the front) and fasten cables to the fixing plates of the 

frame.

As routing and fastening the pigtail cables note the bending radius of the cables and the 

• 

movement of the inner frame.

5.2.4 Finishing the termination in the NC-1000 frame

Close the inner frame to its normal position and fix it with the lock that is on the bottom of the frame.

• 

Check still that the pigtail cables run from the inner frame to the back of the frame in a well managed 

• 

way and are not subject to pressure, sharp bendings or any other risks.

5.2.5 Bringing the pigtail cables to the splicing point

Bring the pigtail cables to the splice cabinet or joint closure.

• 

Measure the pigtail cables so that  the sheath length on the splice tray is about 30 mm and the fibre 

• 

length is at least 110 cm. If using Nestor NC-48 splice tray the fibre lengths shall be about 120 cm.

Make the cutting marks on the cables and cut away the extra lengths

• 

Remove the first splice tray from its holder and set it on the splicing table.
