Figure 5. Vertical Cable Guide Installation in an Equipment Rack
C. Cable Routing
5.04Cable installation is performed from the rear side of the splice module. The OSP or IFC cables are routed to the back of the module chassis from either above or below the module. The pigtails are routed to the connector module through the fiber access holes in the top and bottom of the chassis.
5.05Prior to splicing, all cables (OSP and IFC) are routed to and secured to the side of the splice module using a cable clamp kit. A total of eight cable clamp positions are available at both sides of the chassis. To avoid congestion, OSP and IFC cables should be installed on opposite sides of the module. Cables should be clamped as close as possible to the splice module to which the fibers will be routed to reduce the length of cable sheath that needs to be stripped and cleaned.
