2.5 Securing the Cable
The cable may be strain-relieved using the Universal Cable Clamp (UCC) (see Section 2.5.1) or
cable ties (see Section 2.5.2).
CAUTION: Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87, for
eye protection from accidental injury when handling chemicals, cables, or working with ber.
Pieces of glass ber are very sharp and have the potential to damage the eye.
CAUTION: The wearing of cut-resistant safety gloves to protect your hands from accidental
injury when using sharp-bladed tools and armored cable is strongly recommended. Use
extreme care when working with severed armor. There will be a sharp edge where armor is
cut. To minimize the chance of injury from the cut armor, cover the exposed edge with a wrap
of electrical tape. To minimize the chance of injury from sharp-bladed tools, always cut away
from yourself and others. Dispose of used blades and armor scrap properly.
CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specication sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than specied. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
2.5.1 Using the UCC
Step 1: Attach strain-relief bracket to the side of the housing in the orientation necessary for
cable entry.
Step 2: Attach the UCC clamshell to the strain-relief bracket as shown in Figure 5 to allow
installation of a second UCC if necessary.
Step 3: Follow installation instructions provided with the UCC kit to secure the cable. Allow
room on the bracket to strain-relieve the strength member, if necessary. Do not
tighten yet to allow for cable adjustment if necessary.

2.5.2 Using Cable Ties
If at least 10 m (33 ft) of outside
plant cable is routed within an
environmentally controlled building
where temperature uctuation is
minimal, securing the cable sheath is
adequate strain-relief.
Step 1: Attach the cable to the
strain-relief bracket with
cable ties in two places as
shown in Figure 6.
Step 2: Allow room on the bracket
to strain-relieve the cable
strength member. Proceed to Section 2.6.
2.6 Strain-relieving the Strength Member
If using the UCC for strain-relief, it is not necessary to strain-relieve the strength member. You
may skip this section.
Step 1: Install the U-shaped washer and the at washer on the strain-relief bracket using the
supplied Phillips-head machine screw (Figure 6).
Step 2: Place the yarn, if present, and the central member between the U-shaped washer
and the at washer.
Step 3: Wrap yarn around the screw and under U-shaped washer in a clockwise direction.
Step 4: Tighten the nut.
Step 5: Trim off the excess yarn and central member.
2.7 Grounding Armored Cable
If cable you are using is armored, a grounding kit (p/n FDC-CABLE-GRND, purchased
separately) is required to ground each armored cable. Follow the instructions provided with the
grounding kit.
Step 1: Attach the other end of the ground wire to the equipment rack. The equipment rack
must be grounded to the primary building ground.
Step 2: Remove the paint from the frame at the grounding location to ensure metal-to-
metal contact. It is recommended to use an antioxidant on the bare metal to prevent
corrosion.
Step 3: Or, attach the other end of the ground wire to a rack-mounted grounding bus bar,
which is grounded to the primary building ground.

3.1 Installing Preconnectorized Cable
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a ber that may be carrying laser light.
Laser light can be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain.
The iris of the eye will not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently,
serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser
light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
WARNING: DO NOT use magniers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light
can cause eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to
laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
WARNING: Isopropyl alcohol is ammable with a ashpoint at 54ºF. It can cause irritation to
eyes on contact. In case of contact, ush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation
of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations has a narcotic effect,
producing symptoms of dizziness, drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and
possibly death.
Step 1: Remove the blank panels from the unit and replace with connector panels
(purchased separately).
Step 2: Route the cable around the radius control guides, ensuring that there is enough slack
to move the drawer from the front to the back position without pulling on the cable.
IMPORTANT: Lift the drawer stop plunger shown in Figure 7 and slide the drawer to the forward and
back positions to verify that the drawer slides in the grooves of the guides and that there
is enough ber slack to prevent violating the minimum ber bend radius of the cable.
Step 3: If desired, loosely secure cables to the rear ange of the drawer with cable ties.
Step 4: Clean the connector end-faces and adapters per standard company practices. Then
install connectors into the adapters at the rear of the connector panels (Figure 7).
