Prepare cable for single fiber splice cassette installation
Group feeder fibers into two groups (1-12 and 13-24), then refer to Table 1 for
Feeder and Pigtail Lengths. “Feeder Strip Length” is the recommended length
of fiber to bring into the cassette. “Feeder Cut Length” and “Pigtail Cut Length”
is measured from the front of the cassette and is the recommended cut length
for the initial splice. A maximum of (1) rework is allowed per splice.
Route fibers into base
(a) Position spools to prepare for routing. (b) Route pigtail and feeder fibers
corresponding to fibers 1-12 counterclockwise starting along the outer half of
the cassette and work inwards with each consecutive loop. (c) Line up the pegs
on the cassette base with the mounting holes on the spool to finish routing.
(d) Insert spool into base and ensure all fibers are under retaining fingers.
(e) Position spool of fiber 13-24 as shown to prepare for routing. Ensure fibers
are tucked under retaining feature (f) Repeat steps a-d until routing is completed.

Apply Cover
(a) Line the cover with the slots near the front of the cassette base. (b) Lay
the cover flat on the base and ensure all the tabs on the side of the cover
and bases are lined up. With one hand holding the cassette base, push cover
forward with other hand to engage tabs. Double check the rear tab is
also engaged to prevent the cover from sliding off.

.
(a) Strip fibers to recommended Feeder Strip length per table 1. Leave
approximately 1” (2.5 cm) of strength member. Secure cable tie around fiber
strength member. (b) Optional: Wrap smaller diameter cable with provided grey
foam for better securement. (c) Snip off ends of cable ties close to head.
(d) Push the head downward until it is below the top of the cassette wall.
(If using a 24f cable, separate fibers 1-12 and 13-24. Then use one tie-off
location at the cassette entry point.)

(a) Remove spool and splice
holder from cassette. Locate
ends of pigtail marked with tape.
(b) Unspool and extend pigtail
fiber beyond front of cassette.

d
Extend feeder fibers beyond the front of the cassette base, then measure and
trim pigtail and feeder to specified cut length per Table 1.

Preparing to load splice
protectors

Locate “P” and “F” marking on
spool. When loading splice
protectors, ensure pigtail is exiting
spool through the side with “P”
marking and the feeder is exiting
through the side with “F” marking.
