Action
Attach the proper splicing tool to the swing frame door.
Note: It is recommended that the installer splice the binder groups from the
top of the rear wall to the bottom, using the support bars of the swing frame
door as support for the spicing tool head.
Crimp each binder group to its respective terminal block using the splicing
tool.
Note: Each binder group should be crimped no longer than the length of wire
(approximately 8 inches) between the terminal block and connector on the
swing frame door.
Move the splicing tool down the swing frame to the next position.
Repeat from step 2 for each binder group and connector on columns 1 and 3.
Fold the excess wire from each binder group in lengths equal to the width of
the connector (approximately 6 inches).
Note: This ensures that the least amount of bulk is tied to the cable support
bar.
Hold the connectors and the folded excess wire in position.
Place a tie wrap around the left end of the top connector.
Wrap it around the back of the connectors and support frame, around the left
end of the bottom connector, and into the tie wrap end.
Pull on the tie wrap to secure the connectors and the binder group to the
support frame.
Secure the right end of each connector.
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.
Repeat steps 5 through 10 for each binder group and connector on Columns
1 and 3.
Fold any unused or unterminated binder groups and dress them into the cable
form (see Figure 6-16 on page 6-35).
Plug the VF cable entry hole with epoxy or equivalent compound when all
OSP cable terminations are complete.
Remove the connection tool and close the termination compartment door.
