Step 3: Remove dust caps and clean adapters and connectors per standard company practices or as described in Section 6. Connect jumpers as required (Figure Figure 3 TPA-4462 Step 4: Dress jumpers under the flaps on the handle and out the left side of the cassette (Figure Step 5: Then raise the handle until the buttons on each side engage to hold...

2. Jumper Routing and Slack Storage when Cross- connecting in the Same Frame When cross-connecting jumpers within one frame, use a single-fiber jumper length of 4 m (13 ft) to eliminate the need to cut jumpers to a specific length. • Determine location of jumper termination.

3. Cross-connecting Jumpers in Adjacent Frames 3.1. Cross-connecting Jumpers in Adjacent Rear Cable Access Frames When cross-connecting jumpers to adjacent rear cable access frames, use a length of 6 m (16.25 ft), plus 1.0 m (3.3 ft) for every additional frame passed.
3.2. Cross-connecting Jumpers in Adjacent Front Cable Access Frames When cross-connecting jumpers to adjacent front cable access frames, use a length of 6 m (16.25 ft), plus 1.0 m (3.3 ft) for every additional frame passed. • Always use lower troughs to transition between frames. • Distribute fiber between different hubs in the inter-bay unit (IBU) to minimize fiber loading.
4. Cross-connecting Jumpers Using Overhead Trough System Use overhead trough systems to route jumpers as shown in Figure 11 when: • frames are not adjacent to each other in the same frame lineup or • frames are not in the same frame lineup.

5. Jumper Routing and Slack Storage when Interconnecting between Frames • Rear cable access frame: Always use rear troughs to transition between frames. • Front cable access frame: Always use bottom troughs or overhead trough system to transition between frames. • Distribute fiber between different troughs and hubs in the IBU to minimize fiber loading.

5.5. Interconnecting Jumpers between Distantly Spaced Ports • When connecting ports 1 through 12 of a 24-port cassette or ports 1 through 18 of a 36-port cassette to another cassette’s ports 1 through 12 or 1 through 18, it is recommended to add one additional inner hub to the routing path.
