3. Mounting of the frame

NC-1000 frames are delivered separately protected with their own transportation pallet. In the 

installation site the frame is shifted to its place and fastened to the floor. Before fastening the 

frame shall be adjusted directly from its adjusting feets. If necessary, the frame can be also 

fastened to the wall from the top with an optional wall mounting kit.

4. Earthing of the frame

If outdoor cables including metallic elements are brought to the frame, the frame shall earthed. 

Make  the  earthing  by  connecting  the  frame  to  the  equipotential  or  earthing  terminal  of  the 

equipment room by using min. 16 mm2 copper wire. Adjust the earthing bar of the frame to the 

suitable height and connect the copper wire to the bar.

5. Termination of outdoor cables to NC-1000 frame

There are two principle ways of outdoor cable termination:

Outdoor cables are jointed to pigtail cables within the NC-1000 frame. 

1. 

Outdoor cables are jointed to pigtail cables outside the NC-1000 frame within a joint closure or a splice 

2. 

cabinet.

These termination methods are handled separately in the following chapters.

5.1 Termination of outdoor cables to pigtail cables within the NC-1000 frame 

5.1.1 Installation of the splice tray holder

Take the splice tray holder with its mounting accessories from its package and turn it in the right way for 

• 

mounting to the inner frame.

Install the basket nuts of the splice tray holder to the followig mounting places of the inner frame: 

• 

upper nuts:  

43 cm from the bottom of the inner fame
