7 GUIDELINES FOR USING ROUND SPLICE TRAYS

This section provides guidelines for using the round splice trays that are provided with the ACE-142S/142V cabinet. Use the following procedure for installing the fibers in the tray:

1.Remove the top and bottom covers from the splice tray.

2.Secure subunit A to the splice tray at the points shown in Figure 29.

Note: If installing the feeder cable, subunit A is the feeder cable subunit. If installing the distribution cable, subunit A is the connector panel pigtail subunit.

3.Insert the breakout fibers through the opening where the fibers transition from the top to the bottom of the splice tray (see Figure 29).

4.Adjust subunit A so the fiber breakout is positioned at the transition opening.

5.Turn the tray over and continue routing the breakout fibers around the spools as shown in Figure 30 and then back to the top side of the splice tray.
