Pedestal Insert Mounting Options
The pedestal insert can be ordered pre-installed in the pedestal direct from Cleareld or as a stand-alone item to be
installed in either a pre-existing pedestal or one from the end users existing supply. The 96 Port PON Pedestal Insert ts
into select Channell, Pencell, Emerson metallic BD7, and ProFORM 12 pedestals, while the 144 Port PON Pedestal Insert
ts into select Channell and Pencell pedestals.
Channel Pedestal
The insert is installed by using the included
screws through the hoop frame of the pedestal.
There are two brackets on each side of the insert.
Pencell

Emerson BD7 Pedestal
First, locate the black support bars and related screws from the ship along materials and install the black support bar in the
5th hole from the top of the pedestal (Figures 1 & 2). Next, move the grounding support bar to the lowest available position
(Figures 3 & 4).
Figure 1 Figure 4Figure 3Figure 2
The insert can now be loosely secured at the top using the included hardware (Figure 5). The bottom of the insert can then
be attached using the included hardware. After installing the bottom hardware and aligning the insert to be straight, then
tighten all mounting hardware to ensure a secure t (Figure 6).

Push the insert into the slots until the assembly clicks into place, then verify the spring
clips have engaged over the plastic railing. The assembly can be removed by pulling on
the spring clip and lifting the insert.
Align the mounting tabs with the corresponding slots in the base of the pedestal. Make sure that the front of the insert faces
the smaller shorter side of the pedestal.

Vault Mounting Options
Using a Cleareld FieldSmart
24 x 36 vault, with split lid and a
12” x 12” Pencell Pedestal cover,
the PON in a PED provides PON
access from above, while
incorporating slack cable storage
directly below in the vault. Also
available in Channel vault and
pedestal variations.
Removing the Cover
The cover can be removed by tilting
the cover away from the bottom of
the insert and sliding the tab out of
the provided latching hole. This will
provide access to the front of the insert
and the designation card inside the
cover.
Note: The cover is not included with
the BD7 version of the insert. The
desi-card is provided as a label to
be applied to the inside door of the
pedestal.

Manual 019750 REV A - Aug 2018
Cable Preparation
OSP distribution cables that are entering or exiting the pedestal can be prepped in either a ring cut/mid-span opening
fashion or at the end of the cable.
Ring Cut/Mid-span Opening End of the Cable
The pedestal is designed to hold roughly 20 feet of buffer tube from a 144 OSP cable, but most manufacturers
recommend not exposing more than 20 feet in an OSP environment. This rule is especially true for ring cut applications.
Note: 3 feet of ber is needed inside the cassette for splicing, so be sure to include that in your total cable prep length.
In either cable prep method, a central strength member clamp (3M 2172 or equivalent) can be installed to secure the central
strength member.

Installation Manual ______________________________________________________
Manual 091750 REV A - Aug 2018
If a shielded cable is to be used
and grounded in this application,
then a bonding clamp (3M
4460-D or equivalent) can be
attached in addition to the
strength member clamp.
3M 4460-D Bonding Clamp Installed
Cables to be installed can be secured to the side brackets of the pedestal
using the zip tie mounts found on the bottom mounting brackets of the
pedestal.
When attaching the cables to the back plate using zip ties, it is very
important to not fully tighten the zip ties around the cable. Each zip tie
should allow at least 1/8” of clearance on all sides. This is important as
the cable will need to piston or freely move inside the zip tie independently
from the pedestal in the case of ground heave.
Zip Tie Locations
If utilizing a ring cut/mid-span cable opening, the excess buffer tube should
then be routed loosely around the radius limiters provided and secured
loosely with velcro. This cable can then leave the other side of the pedestal
and be secured in the same fashion as described above.

Cassette Splicing and Installation
1.
2.
Once you have the cable installed and secured to the pedestal insert, route the buffer tubes around the ber
management spools, storing your excess slack. (Figure 1)
Bring the buffer tubes up and around to the cassettes. (Figure 2)
Figure 1 Figure 2
3. Mark the tubes at the cassettes
with a permanent marker, being
sure to leave 3 feet of buffer tube
after the mark, which will be used
for splicing inside the cassette.
Note: The required lengths for each
buffer tube will be different, so be
sure to mark each one individually
at its respective cassette.

4. Remove the cassettes from the pedestal insert by
loosening the retaining screws on both sides of the
cassettes (96 port), or one side (144 port), and remove
the cassettes through the front of the pedestal insert.
Unwind the buffer tubes from the slack management and bring the tubes through the pedestal insert. Proceed to
splicing.
See the Clearview Blue Cassette Installation Manual for splicing instructions, located under the Resources tab of
the Cleareld website, www.seecleareld.com.
Viewable here:
https://www.seecleareld.com/assets/documents/installation-manuals/clearview-blue-cassette-install-manual.pdf
5.
After splicing is completed, pull the slack back through the pedestal
and guide the cassettes up to their places on the pedestal insert.
Secure the cassettes into place with the retaining screws (if working
in the 144 port PON ped, slide the t-rails of the cassettes into place
in their respective slide rails rst).
6.
Re-store the extra buffer tube slack around the slack management
spools. Use velcro to dress up the buffer tubes.

Inspect Then Connect
These are Cleareld 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.
