COMMSCOPE TC-96368-IPrC Mass Fusion Splice Cassette For CHD Panel
Specifications
- Product Name : MPO Splice Cassette for Propel Panel
- Included Materials: Splice Protectors (45 mm Long), Cable Ties (30-40 mm)
- Tools Required: Marker, Small Side Cutter, Fiber Scissors, Stripper, Tape Measure, Fiber Fusion Splicer and Cleaver, Isopropyl Alcohol
Product Usage Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Cable for Single Fiber Splice Cassette Installation
- Refer to Table 1 for Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. Ensure the Feeder Initial Length, Feeder Cut Length, and Pigtail Cut Length are as recommended. Only one rework per splice is allowed.
- Step 2: Remove Cassette Cover Using your thumb and finger, disengage the rear tab by lifting and pulling backward to remove the cover.
- Step 3: Prepare to Place Feeder Fiber in Cassette (a) Remove the spool and splice holder from the cassette. Discard foam blocks. (b) Locate the ends of the pigtail marked with tape. Unspool and extend the fiber beyond the front of the cassette.
- Step 4: Install Feeder Fiber in Splice Cassette (a) Insert plastic sleeves into mesh sleeve and secure using tape. Insert feeder fiber into the sleeve. (b) Secure feeder fiber using two cable ties. (c) Trim off excess cable tie ends. (d) Push the head downward until it is below the top of the cassette wall.
- Step 5 : Remove the Splice Spool from the Splice Cassette Extend feeder fibers beyond the base front, then measure and trim the pigtail and feeder to specified cut lengths per Table 1.
- Step 6 : Install Splice Protectors on All Fibers to be Spliced Use the provided Splice Protectors. Ensure the splice protector length does not exceed 45mm.
- Step 7 : Preparing to Load Splice Protectors Locate P and F markings on the spool. Load splice protectors ensuring pigtail exits through the side marked with P and feeder exits through the side marked with F.
- Step 8: Splice Feeder and Pigtail Fibers Strip, clean, and splice fibers following the recommended method. Note the MPO positions indicated on the pigtail labels.
- Step 9 : Load Splice Protectors into Splice Holder Load the splice protectors into the splice holder.
Prepare cable for single fiber splice cassette installation
Refer to Table 1 for Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. “Feeder Initial Length” is
the recommended length of fiber to bring into the cassette. “Feeder Cut
Length” and “Pigtail Cut Length” are measured from the front of the cassette
and are the recommended cut lengths for the initial splices. A maximum of (1)
rework is allowed per splice.
Remove cassette cover
Using thumb and finger, disengage rear tab by lifting and pulling backward
to remove the cover.
Prepare to place feeder fiber in casette
(a) Remove spool and splice holder from cassette. Then, remove and discard
foam blocks. (b) Locate ends of pigtail marked with tape, then unspool and
extend fiber beyond front of cassette.
Install feeder fiber in splice cassette
(a) Insert plastic sleeves into mesh sleeve and secure using tape. Insert
feeder fiber into sleeve.(b) Secure feeder fiber using two cable ties. (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, and push cable ties towards the back of
the cassette.
Remove splice spool from splice cassette
Extend feeder fibers beyond the front of the base, then measure and trim
pigtail and feeder to specified cut length per Table 1.
Install splice protectors on all fibers to be spliced
Use provided splice protectors. Splice protector length should be 45mm
maximum.
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
existing through the side with “F” marking.
Splice feeder and pigtail fibers
Strip, clean, and splice fibers following recommended method. Note the
labels on the pigtail indicating MPO positions.
Load splice protectors into splice holder
(a) Load splice protectors into splice holder (b) Utilizing the spool fiber
fingers, route pigtail fibers counterclockwise until feeder and pigtail fibers
converge.
Wrap ribbon into spool
(a) Position spool to prepare for routing. (b) Route pigtail and feeder
fibers counterclockwise starting along the outer walls and working towards the
center of the cassette. (c) Line up the pegs on the cassette base with the
mounting holes on the spool to finish routing. (d) Insert spool into the base
and ensure all fibers are under retaining fingers.
Apply Cover
- (a) Line the tabs on the cover with the slot 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 the cover forward with the other hand to engage the tabs. Double-check check the rear tab is also engaged to prevent the cover from sliding off.
