Refer to instructions provided with your Corning Optical Communications splice tray. Since the actual application may vary, it is recommended to route the buffer tubes as they will lie in the terminal to determine actual strip lengths before cutting fiber.

Page 6: Hang The Terminal On The Messenger Wire
Step 2: Cut the central strength member of each cable to 15 cm (approximately 6 inches) from the sheath using side cutters. Step 3: If aramid yarn is present, leave 15 cm (approximately 6 inches) for additional strain-relieving. Step 4: Clean cable per manufacturer’s instructions. Hang the Terminal on the Messenger Wire Follow your engineering plan to determine the location where the terminal will be installed. -
Page 7: Install Strain-Relief Hardware
Install Strain-relief Hardware Installation of strain-relief brackets prevents pistoning or bowing of central strength members, as well as cable sheath slipping or pullout. You will be required to strain-relieve the cables later in this procedure. When instructed to strain-relieve a cable, refer to this section for the directions on doing so. 4.4.1 Strain-relief Brackets Install strain-relief bracket(s) onto the opposite side (180 degrees) from the grounding clamp, if applicable:... -

• In loose-tube cable with a central strength member: Step 1: Trim the central strength member(s) flush with the top of the strain-relief bracket as shown in Figure 8A. Step 2: Insert the restraint cap threaded stud through the hole in the strain-relief bracket, capturing the central strength member between the two as shown in Figure 8B. -

Step 4: Remove bead from express port cones to be used. Install both ends of the cable into the top express ports and slide the longer legs on the strain-relief bracket into the groove on the bottom shell of the terminal (Figure 10). - Page 10 Ribbon Application Distribution Ribbon (To Be Spliced) KPA-1833 Splice Tray Holders ________________________________________________________________________________________ Loose-tube Application Distribution Buffer Tube (To Be Spliced) KPA-1778 Splice Tray Holders Figure 11 NOTE: For taut sheath applications in the SCA-9T34 terminal, there will be NO slack loop. Depending upon where the CO cable enters the terminal, cut the buffer tube / ribbon at the location indicated to ensure the longest possible length of fiber for splicing.

Page 11: Prepare Ribbon Fibers For Splicing
Prepare Ribbon Fibers for Splicing This section describes splicing ribbon fibers. If splicing loose-tube cable, proceed to Section 4.9. Refer to instructions provided with the splice tray as needed. 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. - Page 12 Step 3: If splicing all fibers in a ribbon, cut these fibers as a group at least 142 cm (56 in.) from the central tube on the CO side. Step 4: Route two loops of fiber around the inside perimeter of the splice tray. Step 5: Secure the CO-side ribbon (from Step 2) to the tray in the location shown using the provided split grommet and cable tie (Figure 14).
- Page 13 Step 6: Secure the ribbon fan-out assembly to the tray in the lower right corner using a cable tie (Figure 15). Step 7: Route two loops of fiber from the fan-out body around the inside perimeter of the splice tray. Step 8: Clean the fibers per the manufacturer’s directions. Step 9: Mark and splice ribbons as described in the instruction provided with the splice tray.

Page 14: Insert Connectors Into Adapters
Insert Connectors into Adapters Whether using connectorized pigtails or a fan-out body with connectors, proceed as follows: Step 1: Use the Corning Optical Communications Optical Access Connector Cleaning Kit (P/N TKT-OTAP-CLN-001, purchased separately) to clean each adapter and connector before mating. -
