3. Components
*CommScope 6 Port Fiber Adaptor must be ordered separately. See Table 1 for recommended MIDs.
4. Description
The TB kit contains the plenum rated transition box and cover, plenum rated cable ties, and connectivity
label. The G2 6 port fiber adapter can be ordered separately from www.commscope.com. The TB is
designed to accommodate up to six (6) PFC channels, with each channel consisting of two power
conductors (+ and -) and one duplex fiber connection (TX/TR).
The TB is designed for indoor use, and may be located in the plenum space. Cable can enter the box
through fire foam lined cable slots or through standard ¾ inch electrical conduit. Excess fiber can be
safely managed and stored on the built-in fiber spool.

5. Installation steps
Step 1 – Mounting and Grounding the Transition Box (TB)
1. Mount the TB to a flat surface using the four mounting knockouts as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Customer provided installation hardware must match the intended application with a
minimum pull-out requirement of 20 lbs-f (88 N) per hardware location.
2. Attach 12 AWG (or larger) ground wire to the TB using the green ground screw as shown in Figure
1. Attach wire to Earth ground.
3. Secure the ground wire to the strain relief bar with a supplied cable tie as shown in Figure 2.
4. Insert the 6 port fiber adapter into the G2 opening with the shutters facing in the direction of the
terminal strip, as shown in Figure 3.

6. Powered Fiber Cable (PFC) Termination and Closeout
Step 1 – Route and terminate incoming/indoor Powered Fiber Cable (PFC)
1. Route the incoming PFC into the TB and secure to the strain relief bar with a supplied cable
tie, as shown in Figure 4. Ensure adequate length for fiber slack (1-1.5 meters).
2. Strip the outer jacket of the PFC using a round cable stripper so that there is approximately
25mm of jacket extending inside the box, as shown in Figure 5. Trim any strength members
or other cable components except for power conductors and fibers.

3. Cut the insulated power conductors to length. Strip off 5mm of insulation from the
conductors using an electrical wire stripper (12 AWG – 2.0mm; 14 AWG –1.6mm; 16 AWG –
1.3mm; 18 AWG -1.0 mm; 20 AWG– 0.8mm; 22 AWG – 0.65mm; 24 AWG – 0.5mm).
4. Match the wire polarity from the cable plant with the terminal strip polarity, as shown in
Figure 6.
5. Using a small flat screwdriver open the screw terminals until the wires insert into the
terminal ports. Push each wire into its port. Screw each terminal down hand tight to make
contact between the terminal and the wire conductor. Verify the wires are secure in the
terminals with no exposed wire conductor, as shown in Figure 7.
6. Terminate the LC Fiber Optic plugs (see section 2) per the product specifications instructions. Visit
www.commscope.com for LC Connector application, instructions, and tool kit information.
7. Clean and install the LC terminations into the adapter; see installation and cleaning instructions:
TECP-96-194. Store excess fiber on the spool, as shown in Figure 8.
8. Repeat steps 1 – 5 for all incoming PFCs.

Step 2 – Route and terminate outgoing/outdoor Powered Fiber Cable (PFC)
1. Route the outgoing PFC into the TB and secure to the strain relief bar with a supplied cable
tie, as shown in Figure 9.Ensure adequate length for fiber slack (1-1.5 meters).
2. Separate the cable into three sections along the tear lines, as shown in Figure 9.
3. For the outgoing power termination repeat steps 3 – 5 from Section 6 Step 1, verifying any
end device powered equipment wiring polarity with polarity connections on terminal strip,
as shown in Figure 10.
Note: Polarization indentation along one side of the cable for polarity identification

4. Terminate the LC Fiber Optic plugs per product specifications instructions. Visit
www.commscope.com for LC Connector application, instructions, and tool kit information.
Note: Furcation tubing can be used to protect coated fiber.
Visit www.commscope.com for a variety of colors.
5. Clean and install the LC terminations into the adapter; see installation and cleaning
instructions: TECP-96-194. Store excess fiber slack on the spool, as shown in Figure 11.
6. Repeat steps 1 – 5 for all outgoing PFCs.

Step 3 – Install Transition Box (TB) cover
1. Fix the connectivity label to the inside or outside of cover and record the channel
information as needed.
2. Place the cover over the loose screw heads with the warning label facing outward and slide
into place, tighten the cover screws to secure, as shown in Figure 12.
