4. Cable Preparation
4.1
Prepare
the
drop cable according to instructions appropriate for the cable and
the
closure
or
terminal
in
which you are placing
the
cables. Place the prepared drop
cable aside
in
a secure place.
4.2 Determine the center
of
the
slack
loop
of
the
cable. Measure and mark a
distance
of
100
em
(40 in.)
on
both
sides
of
this midpoint. Place a wrap
of
tape at each
of
these points to
mark
a
total
of
200 em (80 in.)
of
cable to be
accessed (Figure 3).
Notes:
More
or
less
cable
may
be
accessed

When
installing
aerial
terminals
(such
as
the
SCA),
position
the
terminal
on
the
strand
and
then
mark
the
appropriate
section
of
cable
to
be
accessed.
4.3 To ground armored cables, remove the outer sheath and armor between the
tape marks following

Place a
mark
12.5 em
(5
in.) (or
as
required for
the
terminal you are installing)
from
the
end
of
each side
of
the
exposed section
of
buffer tube with a permanent
marking pen (Figure 4).

Depending
upon
the
type
of
closure
or
terminal being used, assembly may be
easier
if
