Route fiber fanouts from the feed input ports at the top of the cabinet to the splitter input connector. The OHC can support a maximum of 56 splitters, depending on the configuration, with 32 outputs per splitter.
- Page 8 LT-OHC-864 4.2. Feed Cable Feed fibers are typically installed at the factory. For field-installed cables, follow these steps. Route feed cable through the bottom cutout and upward through one of the knockouts on the floor of the cabinet. Secure to the cable attachment hardware with a hose clamp. Mark the cable sheathing between the two bolts on the attachment piece and remove the sheathing from the mark to the end of the cable (Figure 6).

- Page 10 LT-OHC-864 4.4. Conduit Seals All conduit openings on the OHC must be completely sealed with a duct seal compound to prevent moisture from entering the OHC. Use a moldable, flame-retardant putty style duct seal material. Do not use an expanding foam seal. Mold the putty so that the open space around the wire or conduit is BEFORE completely sealed, as shown in Figure 9.
