  1. Prepare cable for single fiber splice cassette installation
    Group feeder fibers into two groups (1-12 and 13-24), then refer to Table 1 for Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. “Feeder Strip Length” is the recommended length of fiber to bring into the cassette. “Feeder Cut Length” and “Pigtail Cut  Length” is measured from the front of the cassette and is the recommended cut length for the initial splice. A maximum of (1) rework is allowed per splice.| Feeder Strip Length (in)| Feeder Cut Length (in)| Pigtail Cut Length (in)| Fiber Inside Propel Panel (in)

  3. Install feeder fiber in splice cassette
    (a) Strip fibers to recommended Feeder Strip length per table 1. Leave approximately 1” (2.5 cm) of strength member. Secure cable tie around fiber strength member. (b) Optional: Wrap smaller diameter cable with provided grey foam for better securement. (c) Snip off ends of cable ties close to head. (d) Push the head downward until it is below the top of the cassette wall. (If using a 24f cable, separate fibers 1-12 and 13-24. Then use one tie-off location at the cassette entry point.)COMMSCOPE TC 96275 IP 12 Port Single

  5. Install splice protectors on all fibers to be spliced
    Use provided splice protectors.
    Splice protector length should be 45mm maximum.

  6. Splice feeder and pigtail fibers
    Strip, clean, and splice fibers following recommended method.

  7. Preparing to load splice protectors
    Locate “P” and “F” marking on spool. When loading splice protectors, ensure pigtail is exiting spool through the side with “P” marking and the feeder is exiting through the side with “F” marking.

  8. Load splice protectors into splice holder
    (a) Load splice protectors into splice holder (b) Utilizing the spool fiber retainers, route pigtail fibers counterclockwise until feeder and pigtail fibers converges.COMMSCOPE TC 96275 IP 12 Port Single Fiber Splice Cassette

  9. Route fibers into base
    (a) Position spools to prepare for routing. (b) Route pigtail and feeder fibers corresponding to fibers 1-12 counterclockwise starting along the outer half of the cassette and work inwards with each consecutive loop. (c) Line up the  pegs on the cassette base with the mounting holes on the spool to finish routing. (d) Insert spool into base and ensure all fibers are under retaining fingers. (e) Position spool of fiber 13-24 as shown to prepare for routing. Ensure  fibers are tucked under retaining feature (f) Repeat steps a-d until routing is completed.

  10. Apply Cover
    (a) Line the cover with the slots near the front of the cassette base. (b) Lay the cover flat on the base and ensure all the tabs on the side of the cover and bases are lined up. With one hand holding the cassette base, push cover forward  with other hand to engage tabs. Double check the rear tab is also engaged to prevent the cover from sliding off.COMMSCOPE TC 96275 IP 12 Port
