6-36 Routing and terminating the VF cables
Procedure 6-8
Connecting the outside plant cable pairs to
710 or 3M MS 2 DPM connectors without
cross-connect
The installation steps outlined in this procedure are suggested procedures for
routing and terminating VF cables in the Series 800A cabinet without a
cross-connect facility. Operating companies may also complete the steps per
their own termination 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".
Connections between the 710 or 3M-MS 2 connectors and the 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 2 connectors).
