Installation
Use the splice tray with single-mode or multimode fiber cable. Follow the instructions below.
SINGLE-MODE SPLICING
1. Remove the top metal splice tray cover and install the bottom metal splice cover in the wallmount or
rackmount fiber cabinet.
2. Remove the single-mode plastic covers on each of the four single-mode plastic bases already installed in
the bottom metal splice cover.
3. Remove the yellow sticker from one of the single-mode plastic bases.
4. Install a metal sleeve and slide the single-mode fiber through it that you plan to splice. (For single-mode
fiber, you’ll use fusion splicing.)
5. Prepare and splice the fiber.
6. After splicing is complete, snap the spliced fiber sleeve in one of the 6 compartment areas in the plastic
base.
7. Repeat until all 6 compartments are filled.
8. Re-install the original plastic cover.
9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the remaining three single-mode plastic bases as required by your
application.
10. When all single-mode plastic bases are loaded with fiber, use the cable ties to secure the cable. Then
re-install the top metal splice tray cover and tighten the wing nuts (included with the cabinet).
MULTIMODE SPLICING
1. Remove the top metal splice tray cover and install the bottom metal splice cover in the wallmount or
rackmount fiber cabinet.
2. Remove the single-mode plastic covers on each of the four single-mode plastic bases already installed.
3. Remove the larger single-mode plastic bases and install the smaller multimode plastic bases in the bottom
metal splice cover. (The multimode plastic base supports the Corning Cable Systems Non-Adhesive
Mechanical Splice, Corning part number 95-000-04 or Black Box part number FO030.)
4. Splice the multimode fiber. (For multimode fiber, you’ll use mechanical splicing.)
5. After the mechanical splice is done, install the mechanical splice in one of the 6 compartments in the
multimode plastic base.
6. Repeat until all 6 compartments are filled.
7. Re-install the original plastic cover.
8. When all multimode plastic bases are loaded with fiber, use the cable ties to secure the cable. Then
re-install the top metal splice cover and tighten the wing nuts (included with the cabinet) to secure the
cable.
