1. General
The OptiTect™ GEN III Local Convergence Point Enclosure (LCP) serves as an interface
between a telecommunication provider’s network and individual customer connections. The
enclosure provides mechanical and environmental protection for the splices and connector
interfaces while providing easy access for the service provider. It also provides a management
system for optical ber connectors, and splitter modules and a test access point to verify the
integrity of the network. There are several sizes of enclosures available from a 144-ber version
up to an 864-ber capacity unit.
1.1 Use and Application
The OptiTect GEN III LCP is used in an indoor environment, either mounted on a wall, 23-in
equipment rack or pedestal. The enclosure design allows front access to the bers, connectors,
and splitter modules for management, testing, and maintenance by the craft persons.
The interior is accessible through a hinged front door secured with a single-point pawl latch.
The door can be locked with a 216B tool and padlock. The standard conguration is one
connectorized distribution and one connectorized feeder cable preinstalled and attached to the
internal housings.

Step 4: Ensure that a lifting device, such as a hoist or crane, capable of lifting at least 150
pounds (largest enclosure’s weight) is available to lift the enclosure into position.
WARNING: Only certied operators should operate the crane. Ensure that the stabilizers are
extended and rmly positioned before Lifting. Avoid overhead obstructions or power lines
when lifting.
WARNING: The enclosure is heavy and requires two people to maneuver it. Observe all safety
precautions while using Make sure the door is locked in the closed position. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or damage to the enclosure or cables.
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.
Step 5: If the unit shipped with cables preinstalled, clip
