Mini Wall-mount Building Terminal (WBM)
2. Description
2.1 The Mini Wall-mount Building Terminal (Figure 1) is a reduced size, slim-design wall-
mountable distribution unit ideal for installation areas requiring compact interface terminals
between intrabuilding fiber optic cable in ribbon form and optoelectronic equipment.
2.2 The WBM comes with twelve SC connector adapters which are installed into a
connector panel. The unit is also available with a six-fiber panel.
2.3 The WBM accommodates a unique reduced-length splice tray which protects a single
mass fusion splice. The splice tray is secured in a spring-loaded bracket behind the connector
panel. The bracket allows the tray to be removed when the telco door is opened.
2.4 SC connectors are coupled to a 900 µm pigtail ribbon fan-out body contained in the
splice tray. Fan-out kits are sold separately. Contact your Corning Cable Systems representative
for assistance in ordering the appropriate accessories.
3. Precautions
3.1 Laser Handling Precautions
WARNING: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE END OF A FIBER THAT
MAY BE CARRYING LASER LIGHT. Laser light may 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 magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser
light can cause eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye
exposure be suspected, arrange for an eye exam immediately.
3.2 Safety Precautions
CAUTION: The wearing of safety glasses to protect the eyes from accidental injury is
strongly recommended when handling chemicals and cutting fiber. Pieces of glass fiber are
very sharp and can damage the cornea easily.
CAUTION:The wearing of safety gloves to protect hands from accidental injury is
strongly recommended when using sharp instruments.
CAUTION: ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL is flammable with a flashpoint at 54
°
F. It can
cause irritation to eyes on contact. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with water for at least
15 minutes. Inhaling fumes may induce mild narcosis. In case of ingestion, consult a
physician.
3.3 Glass Fiber Precautions
WARNING: Cleaved glass fibers are very sharp and can pierce the skin easily. Do not
let cut pieces of fiber stick to your clothing or drop in the work area where they can cause
injury later. Use tweezers to pick up cut or broken pieces of the glass fibers and place them
on a loop of tape kept for that purpose alone. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
