Position the back splice tray on the Splice
Tray Rack and route the buffer tubes into the

LEFT corner of the splice tray.  Mark the buffer tubes
just beyond the tie down holes. (Figure 25)

FIGURE 25 - MARK THE BUFFER TUBES

12.04

Remove the buffer tube to the mark and
thoroughly clean the fibers per standard

company practices.

12.05

Apply a wrap of blue felt over the buffer tube
at the end where they will be tied down.

Position the buffer tubes onto the splice tray
so that they extend 1/4" (6.35 mm) past the

tie down holes and apply provided tie wraps as
shown in Figure 26 A & B.

PLP TIP:

For easy tie wrap installation, insert the

tie wrap with the ridges on the inside of the loop,
with the head opposite the notch in the splice
