CommScope NOVUX SEC 100 User manual

1 About this manual
This manual describes the installation steps of the drop splice application of the SEC 100 series. Installation steps in this
document are limited to: drop cable installation (push through), routing on and to the different trays, splicing on the
different trays and the splitter application.
Installation steps of the inline feeder cable are explained in manual TC-1557-IP: SEC 100 Basic Instructions. The
document starts with providing an overview of the tools required to perform the installation. Also warnings and
cautions are indicated, which should be observed before starting the product installation.
Images in this manual are for reference only and are subject to change.

• Cable stripping and cleaning tools

• Fiber splice equipment and fiber cleaning tools
• Scissors (to cut the silicon tape)
4 Warnings and Cautions
R
• Follow the installation instruction steps to ensure the performance of the closure. It is necessary to take
precautions and keep the working space clean to protect the closure sealing materials and splices.
• Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical
fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end. Looking into
the ends of any optical fiber is entirely at your own risk. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed
over any radiating adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector and adapter.
• Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the recommended minimum bend
radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when installing fiber optic cables, subunits and patch
cords.

1 Align the end of the cable jacket with the end of the L-shape of the bracket. The arrows indicate the position of the
cable jacket end for positions 2,3 and 4. Mark the position of the silicone tape.
2 Cut the silicone tape to a length of 4 cm.
Note: Make sure your hands are clean and degreased before preparing and installing the cables.
3 Pull back the cable a bit to have more access. Remove the protective paper. Apply the silicone tape on the cable
between the marks. Stretch the tape minimum 50% while wrapping the tape around the cable. First apply a full turn
around the cable, then continue to cover up.

5 Secure the cable at the outside with 2 small black cable ties onto the T-shape over the silicon tape. Make sure the
cable tie grips into the recess at the bottom side of the T-shape.

8 Route to tray

1 For the drop cable in position 2, guide the 900 µm around the island and enter the tray as shown.
2 The drop cable installed in position 3 can turn around the island in both senses. Best practice is to choose the
entrance of the tray opposite of the feeder fiber entrance to avoid crossings on the tray. For the drop cable
installed in position 4, guide the 900 µm around the island and enter the tray as shown.

1 Push the 900 µm fiber in the foam on the entrance of the tray.
2 Indicate the stripping point in the middle of the fiber guide and strip the buffer tube of the fiber per local practice.
Note: Note that the fiber from the drop cable can enter the tray either at the same side of the feeder fiber or the
opposite side.

1 Make fusion splice per standard practice and store the splice protector in the splice protector holder (position 1 to
6). Every position can hold up to 3 splice protectors.
a If fibers enter the tray from opposite sides, store over length in loops on the tray (full tray width).
b If fibers enter the tray from the same side (light blue), route one of the fibers through the channel in the island
on the tray, then store over length in loops on the tray (full width).
Note: Make sure all fibers are properly positioned under the lips and avoid bulging of the fiber.
Note: The fiber guidance pen can be used to position all the fibers under the lips.

1 Splice the feeder fiber to the input of the splitter with a fusion splice per standard practice and store the splice
protector in the splice protector holder. Every position can hold up to 3 splice protectors. Store over length in loops
on the tray (full tray width).
Note: The configuration of the splitter tray can differ depending on the order.
2 Splice the drop fiber to one of the output fibers of the splitter with a fusion splice per standard practice.
a Store the splice protector in the splice protector holder and if the fibers enter the tray from opposite sides,
store over length in loops on the tray (full tray width).
b If fibers enter the tray from the same side (light blue), route one of the fibers through the channel in the island
