Product Usage Instructions

Safety Precautions:

1. Fiber optic cables must not be bent or curved below the
recommended minimum bend radius.

2. Avoid looking directly into optical fibers or adapters as
infrared radiation can cause eye damage. Always use protective caps
on radiating adapters.

Mounting the BUDI-R:

The BUDI-R should be mounted near the entry point of the conduit
or duct that leads to the local hub. Refer to the provided
dimensions for proper placement.

Unpacking and Paying out Cable:

1. Unpack the external spool if applicable and set it up on a
stand for easy access.

2. Pull out the cable parallel to the wall, avoiding
perpendicular pulls from the BUDI-R.

Preparing Cables:

For MPO cables, use a pulling swivel mesh to pull the connector
through to the termination point. Do not exceed 40 lbs. of force
during this process.

FAQ

Q: Can the BUDI-R be used for outdoor applications?

A: No, the cable is not designed for outdoor direct burial or
aerial applications.

Q: What should I do if I encounter difficulty pulling the

cable?

A: If you face challenges while pulling the cable, refer to
local practices for assistance or contact customer support.

1 General product information
The BUDI-R is a wall-mount terminal used to deploy and manage fiber optic networks in a small to mid-sized multiple dwelling unit (MDU) or multiple tenant unit (MTU). Installation can be completed by one person. The BUDI-R contains an internal fiber spool loaded with 24 SC or LC adapters and 2 12-fiber Indoor/Outdoor cable terminated with an MPO connector or an HMFOC connector. It is also an option to order the product with non-connectorized stub cable. Certain product configurations will come with an external spool holding an extension of the cable beyond what the internal spool can hold. Within the BUDI-R, the cable is pre-terminated to two rows of SC or LC adapters used to connect patch cord drops to subscribers. The BUDI-R has an inner cover and is only removed for connector cleaning when desired.

2 General safety precautions

2.1

Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the recommended minimum

bend radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when installing fiber optic cables and patch cords.

2.2

Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any

optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters of the adapter packs. Do not assume the laser power is turned off

or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.

A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the

potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector

and adapter.

3 Determining where to mount the BUDI-R
The BUDI-R should be mounted in the MDU or MTU near the entry to the conduit or duct that the cable will be routed through to the local hub. Figure below shows the BUDI-R dimensions.

214 mm (8.4 IN.) 185 mm (7.3 IN.)

126 mm (4.9 IN.)

270 mm (10.6 IN.)

228 mm (8.9 IN.)

4 Unpacking the external spool (if applicable)
Note: Pulling bar and stand not included in the kit.

4.1

Insert the pulling bar through the spool. The BUDI-R is attached to the spool with cardboard connections and cable

ties.

4.2

Place it on the stand as shown.

4.3

Spool is ready to pay out.

5 Paying out the cable on external spool (if applicable)
Caution: The cable is not designed for outdoor direct burial or outdoor aerial applications. Do not pull fiber perpendicular from the BUDI-R. Pull fiber parallel with the wall and route to the equipment.
Note: For a non-connectorized cable, use local practice to pull the cable.
51 Preparing the MPO cable
Note: This procedure assumes use of a pulling swivel mesh to pull the connector through to the termination point. Note: Pulling swivel is not included in the kit.

Trailing connector (Leave outside mesh)

Leading connector (Place inside mesh)

Cable pulling swivel

5.1.1

Insert the leading connector pulling eye (installed in the factory) into the pulling swivel mesh.

Note: Do not pull on the connector directly. Use either the pulling swivel mesh as shown or wrap the lead end of the cable around your hand as described in step 5.3.2. Do not exceed 40 lbs. of force.

Wrap the pulling swivel and trailing connector with vinyl tape

Guide pulling swivel into conduit
5.1.2 Wrap several layers of vinyl tape around the pulling swivel and trailing connector.
52 Preparing HMFOC cable
The HMFOC connector at the end of the terminal’s tail is the non-pinned female type. The connector is protected by a dust cap. A pulling eye is integrated into the end of the dust cap for pulling the drop cable. Note: Do not exceed a pulling force of 445N (100 lbs) and when connected, don’t exceed cable pull of 111 N (25 lbs). A properly rated breakaway swivel should be used between the pull rope and the pulling cap.

8.3

Unspool the MPO/HMFOC Cables and pay out any additional length of cable required at the termination point.

8.4

Rotate the fiber spool so the SC connectors are positioned facing down again. Position the spool and lock it in

place.

8.5

Route the patch cords through the drop cable foam seal. The first 3 cords are routed to the first slot in the foam

seal, second 3 cords to the next slot and so on.

Same procedure for top and bottom row.

9.6

Label the circuits. Record circuit information on label located inside cover.
