FS 24 Fiber Optical Splice Closure User Guide

FS 24 Fiber Optical Splice Closure

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the fiber optical splice closure (FOSC) & fiber optical splice tray (FOST). This guide is designed to familiarize you with the layout of the FOSC&FOST and describes how to deploy them in your network.

Accessories

Installation Requirements

To ensure the technical requirements, the following instructions must be followed:

• The fibers in the FOST are spliced and installed orderly.
• The curved diameter of fiber meets the technical requirements.
• The internal tighteners are tightened.
• The inlet/outlet ports without fiber cables must be blocked up with the port plugs. Control the amount of seal tape within a proper range.
• Seal fitting is installed neatly and smoothly.

Installation

Open the Closure

Unscrew fixing bolts and open the closure by lifting the unscrewed bolts with no need completely unbolt to avoid losing
NOTE: If the weather condition is not good enough, then a tent must be pitched for waterproof and dustproof.

Determine the Length of the Fiber Cable

1. Fiber cable in 50mm length: the distance from seal fitting to fiber cable pressboard.
2. Fiber cable in 2020mm length: it is used to be winded and spliced after stripping.
3. Fiber with the protective coat in 420mm length: the distance from the fixing point of fiber cable to the fixing point of FOST (fiber optic splice tray).
4. The fiber in 1600mm length: after stripping off the protective coat, it is to be winded inside the FOST after splicing with other fibers.
5. NOTE: 1. Reserve enough length of fiber cable to be spliced.
6. Stripping length also could be decided by customers according to installation requirements.

Strip off Fiber Protective Coat of Fiber Cable

• Strip off protective coat of fiber cable from the temp locating mark with the cutter and the stripper, please refer above for stripping length. Stripping length also could be decided according to installation requirements.
• NOTE: If it is difficult to pull all the protective coats of fiber cable at one time, strip it off section by section to avoid fiber breakage.

Separate Fiber Cores

1. Wind 2 layers of insulation tape on protective coat of fiber core. Meanwhile, get rid of the stuffing to separate fiber core and clean them. Form a ring with the diameter of 100mm or so and fix it on the fiber temporarily by adhesive tape.

2. This FOSC is provided with six inlet/outlet ports. Number of fiber cables is determined by the customers according to their actual requirements and the corresponding number of port plugs should be taken out. The max number of fiber cables to be installed is six.

3. This FOSC is suitable for the following diameters of fiber cables respectively:
   Port A: suitable for fiber cable with max. external diameter ф16mm
   Port B: suitable for fiber cable with max. external diameter ф16mm

4. The corresponding inlet/outlet ports are to be selected according to fiber cables actually installed. When the diameter of fiber cable is smaller than that of the inlet/outlet port, then the sealing tape should be used to enlarge the external diameter of fiber cable, of which the perimeter could be measured by measuring paper marked by Hole A, Hole B, coming as accessories.

5. Reserve reinforced core in 40mm length and cut off the unnecessary ones.

6. NOTE: 1. Before the seal tape is used for enlarging the fiber cable diameter, it should be scratched and to be cleaned with abrasive cloth and ethyl alcohol.

7. Cut off reinforced core with a special cutting plier.

Fix Reinforced Core and Fiber Cable

1. Demount port plugs, pressboard and fixing nut of reinforced core.
2. Tighten fiber cable pressboard. If the diameter of fiber cable is not long enough, then enlarge it with insulation tape.
3. Tighten nut of reinforced core with the special wrench (plastic) and then re-tighten it with the metal wrench.(the metal wrench should be provided by operator).

NOTE: Make sure to check whether the fiber cable stripped fits in with the fixing ports affect or not. If not, the adjustment should be done in time. Otherwise it will affect installation quality.

Install Heat Shrinkable Protective Sleeve and House fibers

When having completed splicing the fibers, the first fiber ring should be housed on the farthest side of FOST, the remaining fiber should be winded, forming a ring with diameter not less than 80mm. Then put it into FOST together with heat shrinkable sleeve for splice protection. ( Firstly fix heat shrinkable protective sleeve into the slot, then enlarge the diameter of fiber ring properly.)

NOTE: Pay attention to the twist and bend of fiber.

Assemble FOSC Housing

1. Check up comprehensively.
2. Put the FOSC cover on the FOSC bottom directly.
3. Put two pieces of insert plates into the slot.
4. Insert two pieces of locating bolt of FOSC and tighten it with the special wrench.
5. If the FOSC is for aerial application, then put the hanging hook on one side of the closure and then tighten fixing bolts on both sides. Otherwise, tighten the four fixing bolts on 5.9.5 four corners respectively.

NOTE: Clean the housing and pay attention to the above sequence.
