Procedure 6-7
Splicing the binder groups using
710 or 3M MS 2 DPM connectors
This procedure shows how to splice binder groups for VF cable pairs 1–1200
for installations using 710 or MS 2 connectors with the cross-connect facility.
The installation steps outlined in this procedure are suggested procedures.
Operating companies may complete the steps per their own cross-connect
practices.
Reference information for the SPC signal pair assignments and specific
connector pin designations is contained in Chapter 13, "Cabinet and
equipment wiring and cabling".
There are two connector options available with the Series 800A binding post
cross-connect: 710-SC1-25 (capless female) and 3M MS 2 4000D Super-Mini
connector.
Connections between 710/3M and VF line protectors are factory installed
using 24-gauge wires. Electronic equipment is connected to the protector
assembly by connectorized cable assemblies.
Because of the limited space and density of the cable routing, keep cable slack
to a minimum. Fuse links should be spliced into the VF pairs outside the
cabinet.
The Series 800A cabinet may have 710 or 3M connectors installed on the
swing frame but not a combination of both.
Ensure that a QCM2A or equivalent bond clamp(s) is installed on the outside
cable (see Chapter 4, "Installing the OSP cables").
Special tools required
For 710 connectors use the Western Electric 945A Splicing Tool Kit. For 3M
connectors use the 4045K Universal Splicing Rig (or equivalent splicing kit for
3M MS
AccessNode Series 800A Outside Plant Cabinet Installation 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
2
connectors).
