5. Feed opposite end of feeder cable(s) through stub-up conduit to splice vault or aerial en- closure. Before splicing, use cable ties “temporarily“ to hold the cable end(s) in the cabinet to convenient lance(s) along the feeder tie-down wall. Tie it down temporarily so that the SC/APC connectors will reach the feeder adapters at the top of the rear compartment.

6.Wait until all feeder cable is connected and secured in the cabinet before external splic-

ing.

7.Connect SC/APC connectors on all feeder fibers to feeder adapters.

8.

Measure diameter of cable(s) and remove and discard that much from the interior of the

 

 

cable clamp’s leaf bundle equal to the diameter of the cable(s). The remaining leaves will

 

 

be used between the clamp halves and the cable.

 

9.

Nearby the cable entrance, where the cable entrance dock had been, loosely secure the

 

 

left bundle(s) and clamp halves to the cable(s), as shown in the illustration at the start of

 

 

this procedure.

 

10.

Place cable entrance dock at bottom of cabinet and slip on cable clamps, as shown in the

Solid Core (Discard)

 

illustration on the following page.

 

 

 

If you have only one feeder cable to install, you must use the other cable clamp to fill out

 

 

the slot.

 

11.

Hold down or temporarily fasten dock to cabinet, and then arrange feeder cable(s) and

Bushing Leaf

 

tubing along the feeder tie-down wall. Use cable ties generously to fasten cable and tub-

 

 

 

ing to the wall.

 

Don’t use cable ties closer than ~1 ft (~300 mm) from the floor until all feeder and distribution cables are installed. You’ll need some wiggle room for removing/re-installing the cable entrance dock.

12.Remove the entrance dock again and securely fasten the cable clamps to the cable.

You will fasten the entrance dock to the cabinet after the distribution cable is installed in the next subsection. A cabinet with feeder cable installed is shown on the following page.

13.Splice the other end of the feeder cable.
