Leviton SPLCS Installation Instructions

WARNINGS:
• READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
• DISCONNECTED OPTICAL COMPONENTS MAY EMIT INVISIBLE OPTICAL RADIATION THAT CAN
DAMAGE YOUR EYES. TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, never look directly into an optical component that may
have a laser coupled to it. If accidental exposure to laser radiation is suspected, consult a physician immediately.
• TO AVOID INJURY, wear safety glasses during installation.
Product Description
The SDX Splice Module comes preloaded with LC, SC or MTP
each product.
The module integrates a fiber adapter bulkhead and splice holders to eliminate the need for splice trays.Individual
compartments provide slack storage and bend radius guides for respective backbone cables, 900 μm tight buffer
pigtails, and fusion-spliced fibers, 12-fiber, color-coded 900 μm tight buffer pigtails are 1 meter and pre-loaded in the
module per specific configuration.
In addition, the product is offered in single-mode (OS2) UPC and APC and laser-optimized multimode (OM3 and
OM4) fiber types. Other fiber types are available as special orders.

CAUTIONS:
• Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and can cause eye irritation on contact. If eye contact occurs, flush with water for at
least 15 minutes. In case of ingestion, consult a physician. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
• Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Do not bend in excess of the
recommended bend radius or pull with a force greater than specified. Do not kink or crush the cable.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.
Prepare the fiber.
Determine the termination location. Depending on cable construction, breakout or furcation may be required.
NOTE: The incoming cable opening is 0.55 in. (14 mm). Check the incoming fiber to verify it is the correct size.
High-count cable: Overall fiber cabling greater than what is shown below, requires breakout prior to installation.
>72 fibers for MTP splice modules
>24 fibers for LC
>12 fibers for SC splice modules
Tight-buffered cable: Up to a 24-strand fiber cable can be routed directly to the splice module. Overall fiber
cabling greater than 0.55 in. (14 mm), secure the cable to the enclosure cable management tie down points
according to device instructions, remove the outer jacket after the tie down point, and use the mesh sleeve
provided in the accessory kit to protect and route the individual fibers to the module.
Loose-tube cable: If overall fiber cabling is greater than 0.55 in. (14 mm) and correctly sub-unitized under the
cable jacket, secure cable to tie down points, remove jacket after the tie down points, and route sub-unit tubes to
each module.
3.
Route fiber.
a.
Remove at least 48 in. (1,219 mm) of the outer cable jacket.
NOTE: Do not store excessive fiber slack within the module housing. One to two slack loops of each pigtail
and bulk fiber can be safely stored in the module. Route fibers in the widest path available, and under the
cable management tabs, as shown in the routing diagrams. Store all the other required slack in the fiber
enclosure or available pathway outside the enclosure.
b.
Feed incoming cables through the rear opening, and secure them through the tie wrap slots and over the
cable jacket with a nylon tie.
4.
Prepare pigtail assembly (single-fiber (Method A/A) or mass-fusion (Method A)).
a.
Mark all fiber strands at the ZERO MARK indicator in the module base after routing.
b. Cut pigtail after making the ZERO MARK.

5.
Route pigtail fibers.
a. Route pigtail fibers counter-clockwise.
• When splicing single fiber, route the fibers through the desired number of slack loops and through the splice
area. Mark at the ZERO MARK point.
• When performing mass-fusion splices, route the fiber until the ribbonized portion of the pigtail enters the
splice area.
b.
Remove pigtail fibers from the module and leave the connectors connected to their adapters. Do not
disconnect the fiber from the adapters.

Route trunk fibers.
a.
Route trunk fibers clockwise to the desired slack loop storage and through the splice area.
b.
Mark all fibers at the ZERO MARK.
c.
Remove all fibers from module.
NOTE: Tie wrap removed prior to termination.
