General
This document describes the installation of optical fiber with
both single fiber and/or ribbon fiber splices into Optical Splice
Enclosure (OSE) metal splice trays (Figure 1).
Make sure you read and understand this instruction as well
as instructions provided with related assemblies before
beginning an installation. This document should be used
in conjunction with instructions provided with the cables,
splicing components, and hardware being used.
Contact your Corning Customer Care representative for
assistance in purchasing items that are sold separately.

Precautions
2.1
Laser Handling Precautions
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can
be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will
not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina
of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye
examination immediately.
WARNING: DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light can cause
eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be
suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
2.2
Safety Precautions
CAUTION: Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87 for eye
protection from accidental injury when handling chemicals, cables, or working with fiber. Pieces of
glass fiber are very sharp and have the potential to damage the eye.
CAUTION: The wearing of cut-resistant safety gloves to protect your hands from accidental injury
when using sharp-bladed tools and armored cable is strongly recommended. Use extreme care when
working with severed armor. There will be a sharp edge where armor is cut. To minimize the chance
of injury from the cut armor, cover the exposed edge with a wrap of electrical tape. To minimize the
chance of injury from sharp-bladed tools, always cut away from yourself and others. Dispose of used
blades and armor scrap properly.

Step 4: Carefully route the fibers back into the tray and place the protected splice into the organizer. Step 5: Repeat until all fibers are spliced. Each fiber must be spliced consecutively. Step 6: Make sure all fibers are below the fiber retaining tabs.
