Ideal for any small count ber scenario, the FieldSmart Small Count
Delivery (SCD) Wall Box accepts up to two Clearview®Cassettes,
providing up to 24 bers in a discrete footprint, or a single Clearview
xPAK of 6 bers in the smaller wall box, without sacricing ber
management. The lockable, NEMA 4 rated enclosure is compact,
making it ideal for a variety of applications, including harsh
environment locations surrounding ber demarcation, entrance
facilities, FTTP drop boxes and cell backhaul. Additional applications
include MDU, business class services, power and wind farms and
DOT/Trafc monitoring.
As a lower cost alternative to sheet-metal designs, this plastic, lockable,
NEMA 4 rated enclosure is consistent with Cleareld’s long-standing
reputation of delivering simple solutions for complex problems. Optimized for use with the
Clearview xPAK and Cassette, the FieldSmart Small Count Delivery Wall Box is ideal for any small count ber scenarios
where a discrete footprint without sacricing ber management is required. Standardizing on a craft-friendly, building block
architecture reduces the operating costs of ber deployment by reducing installation times and inventory carrying
requirements.

Wall box Installation
Unpack the wall box from shipping container and make sure to check for small items that may be included. These would be
bagged separately and included in the shipping container.
The wall box is installed via the 2 slots located in the top and bottom of the enclosure. Hold the panel up to the mounting
surface and mark the hole locations with a marker.
Note: A level may be used to ensure that the panel is mounted straight.
Pilot holes can then be drilled at each mark. Using appropriate fasteners for the material, attach the panel to the surface.
Installing Sealcons
Identify the location of the sealcon – on both size boxes, the sealcon locations have been pre-marked on the inside of
the box for easy identication. There are two sealcon locations for each box.
Use a 1” drill bit (step drill is preferred tool); drill out the plastic area enough so that the water tight strain relief tting will
t through the hole (Figure 1).
Install the sealcon through the hole, with the threads on the inside of this box.
If optional strength clamps are used, install them onto the strain relief threads before installing nut to tighten (Figure 3).
Install the nut onto the threads and tighten securely until the tting will not rotate (Figure 2).
Insert cable through sealcon and tighten dome nut to compress rubber sealing grommet.

Inspect Then Connect
These are Cleareld recommended products/applications. Use the product
you feel will complete your cleaning procedures. Create a “best practice” for
your company and follow those procedures.
The use of Chemtronics end face and bulkhead cleaning products and
techniques ensures a clean end face, no matter the type of contamination.
Before cleaning any connector, be sure you know what type of contaminate
you are cleaning (dry, uidic, or combination). All the available products are
good, it’s the process that you need to be aware of. Using a dry cleaning
method to clean “dirt” can lead to scratching of the end face. Learn the
process of cleaning properly.
Note: It is NOT recommended to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the end face.
Cleaning an SC/LC Connector
Cleaning the End Face
• Place one wiping paper on QbE-2 FiberSafe™ Cleaning Platen.
(Figure 1)
• Apply small amount of precision cleaner (about 1” in diameter) with
Electro-Wash MX pen on to one end of the wipe. (Figure 2)
• Hold end face at a 90 degree angle. For APC connection, adjust by
slightly tilting the container or end face. Angle is correct when no drag is
felt on the end face. (Figure 3)
• Draw end face from wet to dry part of the wipe 3 times. Use just enough
pressure to ensure complete contact between end face and the wipe.
Note: DO NOT retrace previous step.

Connector Cleaning Procedure
Whether factory terminated or eld spliced, clean connectors are essential for proper system operation. Even the smallest
dust particle can cause transmission problems, so for optimal network performance inspect, and if necessary, clean
connectors and adapters prior to mating.

Cleaning the Ferrule
• Lightly moisten the ber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)
by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or
Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the swab, 1 side down to the
wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5. (Figure 4)

Cleaning the Mate Through an Adapter AND the Adapter Itself
• Lightly moisten the ber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)
by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or
Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the tip of the swab onto the
wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5.
• Insert the swab into the adapter to the connector, press lightly against
the connector, twist 2-3 times, remove and discard.
• Dry with a second dry swab.
• Inspect, repeat cleaning if necessary, and test for signal strength.
• Use additional swabs to clean inside the actual adapter. Moisten
swab, like above, and insert through hole and remove while twisting.
(Figure 6)
• Insert swab into side of ferrule, wet side to the ceramic ferrule and
circle around 2-3 times and remove. Turn swab to dry side and repeat.

for a count of 1-2-3-4-5.
• Place swab, wet side down, at one end of connector end face and draw
across in a diagonal sweep; i.e., from ber 1 up and across to ber 12.
Turn swab over to dry and draw back from ber 12 to ber 1. (Figure 3)
