Action
Route and dress the column 1 binder groups from the top of the outside plant
compartment to the bottom.
Note 1: Follow the binder group order in Table 6-2 on page 6-24.
Note 2: Separate the appropriate binder group (per Table 6-2 on page 6-24)
at each of the two cable ladder bars on the left side of the compartment.
Note 3: Always place one tie wrap above and one below the binder group that
is being separated from the cable.
Extend the cables across the horizontal swing frame support bars
(see Figure 6-12 on page 6-27).
Continue to secure the remaining binder groups up the cable ladder
(see Figure 6-13 on page 6-28).
Extend the cables across the cable support bars and attach them to the first
cabinet support bar using a tie wrap (see Figure 6-12 on page 6-27).
Route and tie wrap the column 1 binder groups on top of the existing cable
(see Figure 6-14 on page 6-29).
Form the cables so they compress on the ladder rung when tie wrapped.
Note: Be sure to maintain about 6
the swing frame.
Position the column 2 connectors above and below the support bar.
Route the column 1 binder groups against the support bar (see Figure 6-15
on page 6-32).
Secure both connectors and the binder group in this position.
Repeat all previous steps in this section until the last column 1 binder group
has been separated from the 600-pair cable and routed to its respective
position on the horizontal support bar (violet/ brown).
Tie wrap the left and right ends of the top and bottom connectors to the
support frame.
Pull on the tie wraps to secure the connectors and the binder group to the
support frame.
Secure the right end of each connector by repeating this step.
Note: Tie wraps should only be tight enough to hold the bundle secure. If you
can not turn the tie wrap around the bundle it is too tight.
