6 4 Cable termination 4.1 Cable termination in the rack Cable is already terminated in the rack or in the side duct of the rack on the cable termination plate. For the loose tube cable the tubes are protected from the cable termination plate with the flex tube. 4.2 Cable termination on the shelf The cable termination on the back of the shelf is suited for maximum 1 cable. The cable is secured with tie wraps. Loose tubes are fed through a flexible tube to the shelf. The strength member is attached to the shelf Cut a flex tube to length according to the cable position in the rack and remove the cable jacket according to this length. Make sure you have 2 m of loose tube inside the shelf Remove the cable jacket over approximately 2.2 m. Wait to strip the loose tube to avoid fibers breaking. Cut the strength member to length (max. 50 mm) Make sure the flex tube is long enough so that the drawer slides easily in and out. Guide the flex tube through the side opening. Make sure to guide the flex tube on top of the pigtail belts Wrap at least one layer of foam tape around the flex tube at approximately 10 mm from the end. The foam tape prevents easy pullout of the flex tube Mount the tie wraps on the back of the shelf. In this example the cable is coming from the left. If the cable comes from the right, mount the 2 outer tie wraps on the right side of the back panel Apply minimum one layer of foam tape around the flex tube at approximately 10 mm of both ends. The tape prevents easy pull-out of the flex tube Close the drawer partially to be able to attach the flex tube at the back of the metal hinge plate using 2 small tie wraps. The picture shows a mounted flex tube for loose tube cable entering the shelf at the left hand side. Make sure that : - the tie wrap cases are positioned at the front of the metal hinge plate. - the flex tube is laid on top of the pigtail belt. - at least one tie wrap grips the foam tape. - the tie wraps are sufficiently tightened and their excess is cut off Pull the drawer fully open again and turn the safety handle backwards to block the drawer Guide the identified loose tubes through the flex tube. This is easier when keeping the ends of the loose tubes bundled together with a piece of tape Attach the flex tube at the back of the shelf by thightening the two already installed tie wraps. The foam tape must be gripped by at least one of the tie wraps. Note: The flex tube has a predefined length and may not be cut off. 6

7 4.2.5 Close the drawer partially to be able to attach the flex tube at the back of the metal hinge plate using 2 small tie wraps. The picture shows a mounted flex tube for loose tube cable entering the shelf at the right hand side. Make sure that: the tie wrap cases are positioned at the front of the metal plate. the flex tube is laid under the pigtail belt. the tie wraps are sufficiently tightened and their excess is cut off Attach the strength member exactly as shown. Notice the orientation of the washer Guide the identified loose tubes through the flex tube. This is easier when keeping the ends of the loose tubes bundled together with a piece of tape Pull the drawer fully open again and turn the safety handle backwards to block the drawer In the described case the cable comes from the left. For a cable coming from the right the assembly must be reversed. 5 Fiber routing 5.1 Installation of loose tube on the tray 12 splice module Apply one layer of foam tape around the cable at approximately 10 mm from the jacket end. This foam tape must be gripped by at least one of the tie wraps. Attach the strength member to the strength member connector. Avoid unnecessary crossing of the strength member and the loose tubes. Cut the excess of the tie wraps Identify the loose tubes and put the tie wraps in position on the tray as shown. 7

8 5.1.2 Bring the loose tubes on the tray and mark them at the first tie wrap Strip the loose tubes at the second mark, clean the fibers and thighten the tie wraps. Make sure that the tie wrap case is not on top of the tube but at the side Cut a rubber foam to length and tape it around the loose tube around the mark If necessary, tubes can be bundled with foam tape. If loose tubes are added at a later date, use other ducts Push the loose tubes in the tray, and mark them again 15 mm beyond the second tie wrap Remove all the premounted pigtails out of the storage area and mark the fibers at the splice holder. Remove the secondary coating from this point. This assures a primary-secondary transition in a straight line. 8

9 24 splice module Strip the loose tubes and place 1 layer of foam around all the tubes at 50 mm from the end of the tubes Push all the pigtails under the splice holder and leave them there. The fibers have to be kept there during further installation Splice the fibers Secure all the tubes with the two tie-wraps as shown. In case not all fibers will be installed at day Place the splice protector in its holder. Start at the outside of the tray (support the splice holder with a finger to prevent bending) and coil the fibers in the tray Strip the loose tubes and place 1 layer of foam around the tubes at 10 mm from the end of the tubes Check whether all fibers are properly routed before placing the cover on the tray. All fibers should be under the containment lips Secure all the tubes with one tie-wrap as shown. 9

10 5.2 Installation of break-out cable on the tray Secure the added tubes also with one tie-wrap as shown. Preparation is the same as the first installed tubes Use the GTU (Group Termination Unit) kit for the termination of a group of 4 pigtails The split transition plate (1) separates the incoming fiber and the 900 micron coming from the patch panel. Strip the 900 micron somewhere in the middle of the groove. Stripping should always be in a straight line Identify the 4 pigtails. Bundle them with PVC tape. Route them up to the tray and mark the 4 pigtails on the GTU position. Make sure there is 1.5 m pigtail available from this point. The length is limited to 1 m in case of tight coated pigtail Splicing and storage Strip the pigtail jacket at the marks. Leave ± 100 mm of aramid strength member. 10

11 5.2.7 Take the GTU at the metal clip and pull at the aramid strength member until it locks completely Bend the aramid strength member over the edge of the inner part. Don t entangle the fibers and avoid crossings Cut the excess aramid strength member. Identify the pigtails. Remove the secondary coating mm from the GTU (only possible with semi-tight pigtail). This assures a primary-secondary transition in a straight line Slide the outer part over the inner part. Keep both parts under a certain angle as shown. Keep the aramid strength member in position with your left thumb Slide the metal clip over the pigtails and then over the GTU, up to the front In case of pigtails with a smaller amount of aramid strength member (typical outside diameter < 2.2 mm), wrap the aramid strength member twice around the inner part. Bring the aramid strength member of 2 neighbouring pigtails together and pass the aramid strength member between both pigtails. Repeat for the 2 other pigtails. Always install 4 pigtails. 11

12 5.3 Installation of preconnectorised IFC cable on the tray 12 splice module Mount the GTU. Start at the outside of the tray Strip the premounted pigtails as in Splice the fibers. Place the splice protector in its holder. Start at the outside of the tray (support the splice holder with a finger to prevent bending). Coil the fibers in the tray For ease of installation start with the bottom tray. If possible apply 1 wrap of foam tape around the IFC, just before the jacket end (This foam prevents easy pull-out and provides protection to the fibers inside). Attach to the tray with 2 small tie wraps. At least 1 tie wrap should be over the foam tape. Cut the excess length of the tie wrap. Make sure the tie wrap case is not on top but at the side of the IFC. Don t squeeze the fibers For IFC and pigtail management, leave sufficient slack so that the drawer can still be opened Check whether all fibers are properly routed before placing the cover on the module. Fibers can not be on top of the containment lips Plug the connectors into the appropriate connector adapters Remark: Storing non spliced fibers: When not all 12 fibers are spliced at once, route the non-spliced fibers on top of the stored fibers. Route them outside the storage zone to have easy access at a later date Now the IFC can be coiled into the slack fiber storage area. Fibers must be untangled before coiling Splicing repair connectors is possible : one can use the splice holder which is premounted in the tray. 12

13 Check wether all fibers are properly routed before placing the cover on the IFC module. All fibers should be underneath the containment lips. 24 splice module Install the connectors of the first bundle (1) in the adapters and then route the overlength in the storage area. Repeat this for the second bundle (2). Enter the storage area (see picture above). 6 Storage You can separate each bundle of 900 micron by the split transition plate (1). 6.1 Guide the incoming jumpers through the side entrance, over the flex tube and behind the bend control (1). Place the self adhesive latch clip at the correct position (2). Close the clip to keep the jumpers in place. 13

14 6.2 Route the jumpers via the bend control islands to store the overlength. 6.3 Route the jumpers over the flex tube up to the tray. 7 Patching 7.1 Feed the jumpers through the side entrance and route them up to the tray. 7.2 Remove the connector adaptor out of the tray and mount the connector into it as described. Push the plastic hooks which hold the adaptor away (1) and push the adaptor simultaneously in the opposite direction (2). Place the adapter and connector back in the tray by sliding and hinging it down along the vertical axis. Note: don t lift the adaptors too high to avoid optical losses. 14

15 7.4 In case of E2000 connectors. Position release lever at the top. 8 Closing the shelf 8.1 To close the drawer, turn the safety handle first. 7.3 Repeat this procedure with the other pigtails. Respect routing of jumpers as shown on the picture. If there is a flex tube installed, route the jumpers on top of it. Provide sufficient slack for patching to all other positions in the shelve. 8.2 Place the label and write the information. 15

16 8.3 Identify the connections and the unit (location, rack nr. and shelf nr.) on the identification label. 9 Important steps Don t modify the predefined flex tube length. Apply foam tape to the flex tube. Apply foam tape to loose tubes on the trays. Make sure the transition primary-to-secondary fiber is in a straight line: under the splice holder (in case of tight coated pigtail: in the splice protector). Cut excess length of tie-wraps. Make sure all fibers and pigtails are properly routed and are under the containment lips.
