3 Identification
Identification can be done by means of
• colored fibers
• colored tubes
• marked tubes
• colored tapes
• flags.
Make sure not to lose ID.
2.8 Secure the transportation tube with two tie-wraps.
3.1 At the end of each fiber, a flag can be attached with the
identification of the fiber.
The identification is as follows
Ix.y: I = Incoming fiber of the splitter
x = splitter number
y = splitter port
Ox.y: O = Outgoing fiber of the splitter
x = splitter number
y = splitter port
3.2 Select the appropriate fiber to be spliced, cut the identification
flag when available and do all necessary steps till the splice protector is
installed.
Note: make sure not to lose fiber identification.
The fiber end can be deformed to create higher Return Loss on the
unused fibers.
Make sure to cut the fiber end (50 mm, 2” or behind the ID flag) before
starting with the splicing steps.
3.3 Proceed with the storage of the splices and fibers according to
the installation instruction delivered with the enclosure or tray kit.
Note: make sure the splice protector has cooled down before storing.
