ADCP-92-159 • Issue 1 • 2/2015 PIGTAIL 25737-A Figure 25. Routing Pigtails from Left Side (Top View) 3. As the pigtail adapter packs are installed, route the fibers within the splice trays. The stranded fibers fill in 48 to a splice tray, The ribbon pigtails fill in 96 fibers per splice tray. Figure 26 shows the routing for stranded pigtails within the splice tray.
ADCP-92-159 • Issue 1 • 2/2015 BARE FIBER 25721-A LACING JACKETED FIBER Figure 27. Splice Tray Cable Routing 4. Use A hook-and-loop strap to secure the splice tray to the panel. Installing IFC/OSP Cable and Preparing for Splicing Allow a fiber service loop of at least 126-inches (3.5 meters) when stripping the cable sheath. This provides sufficient length for routing the buffer tubes within the panel and for splicing.
