Action
Measure the length of the tubing to establish the point at which the tubing is
to be butted.
Note: The tubing butt should be 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) above the bonding and
grounding bracket mounted on the FPP (see Figure 7-6 on page 7-12).
Butt the tubing.
Note: Ensure that you do not cut the fibers inside the tubing.
Tie wrap the cable to the swing frame to within 6 inches (15.4 cm) of the
bonding and grounding bracket on the FPP.
Secure the tubing to the grounding and bonding bracket on the FPP.
Tighten the bracket connections to secure the cable.
Route the protected OSP fibers into the FPP at the fiber entry hole on the side
of the panel (see Figure 7-6 on page 7-12).
Note: Maintain at least the minimum bend radius (3.0 inches/76 mm) for the
fiber pigtails or patch cords installed.
Secure the protected fibers in the FPP at the cable tie strap located in the
interior right rear of the panel (see Figure 7-7 on page 7-13).
Splice the fiber pigtails to the OSP fiber in the FPP using the splicing methods
dictated by job specifications or by local splicing practices.
Note: Ensure that the pigtails are equipped with the proper connectors for the
fiber management system you are using.
Form the pigtails in the FPP as shown in Figure 7-8 on page 7-14.
Note: Form the pigtails in the fiber management system as per the
manufacturer's recommendations if you are using a system other than the
FPP.
Connect the pigtail connectors to the FPP.
Plug the fiber cable entry hole with epoxy or equivalent compound when all
OSP cable terminations are complete. Be sure to close the termination
compartment door.
