1 General
In distributors the cables are terminated and connected to other cables or to equipment. e number of cables
coming to and leaving from a distributor may be up to hundreds of cables depending on the type and purpose
of the distributor. It is very important that the distributor including all cable installations has been designed,
planned and installed with appropriate skill and knowledge.
FINNFLASH 1000 Optical Distribution System has been designed to meet all the critical requirements of
a well functioning and reliable distributor. It is a result of the long and profound product development and
experience of Teletekno and its customers. All substantial aspects of initial build-up, use and maintenance
have been carefully taken into account. Modular design, pre-assembled and pre-terminated patch panels and
a smart cable management system guarantee easy installation, changes, expansions and other maintenance
practices during the whole life time.
e main features of FINNFLASH 1000 are the following:
• high bre capacity
• superior cable management
• access from the front side
• pre-assembled patch panels
• modular and clear construction
• easy to install, maintain and expand
• dimensions according to the ETSI standards

5 Termination of outdoor cables
ere are two principle ways of outdoor cable termination:
1. Outdoor cables are spliced to pigtail cables within the FINNFLASH 1000 frame
2. Outdoor cables are spliced to pigtails outside the FINNFLASH 1000 frame
5.1 Termination of cables when outdoor cables are spliced to pigtail cables within
the FINNFLASH 1000 frame
5.1.1 Bringing cables to the frame
Either the top entry or the bottom entry can be used. Cables are brought to the frame outside of the back side
and they are xed only aer they have been spliced. Excess lengths of cables should be le to enable an easy
installation. Preparation and xing of cables depend on the entry direction. e top entry is described in 5.1.1.1
and the bottom entry is described in 5.1.1.2.
5.1.1.1 Cable entry from top
• Bring the cables down to the frame along the le side of the frame back (as seen from the front).
• Draw the ends of the cables inside the frame below the lowest xing plate.
• Draw the ends of the cables out of the frame as much as the cables will be in the frame aer the
termination work. As specifying the cable lengths note the 200 – 250 cm stripping length of the
cables starting from the earthing bar.
• Make the marks of the sheath removal point at the distance of 20 mm above the earthing bar.
• Draw the cables out of the frame as much as the marks of the sheath removal points are outside of
the frame and so much that the cables can be handled for the termination.
• Measure the 200 – 250 cm stripping lengths of the cables starting from the sheath removal points
and cut away the extra lengths from the cables.
FINNFLASH 1000

5.1.1.2 Cable entry from bottom
• Change the place of the earthing bar to the place above the lowest xing plate.
• Li the cables to the frame along the right side of the frame back (as seen from the front).
• Draw the ends of the cables inside the frame below the lowest xing plate.
• Draw the ends of the cables out of the frame as much as the cables will be in the frame aer the ter-
mination work. As specifying the cable lengths note the 200 – 250 cm stripping length of the cables
starting from the xing plate.
• Make the marks of the sheath removal point just above the lowest xing plate..
• Draw the cables out of the frame as much as the marks of the sheath removal points are outside of
the frame and so much that the cables can be handled for the termination.
• Measure the 200 – 250 cm stripping lengths of the cables starting from the sheath removal points
and cut away the extra lengths from the cables.
5.1.2 Preparation and earthing of cables
• Remove the cable sheaths starting from their sheath removal marks.
• Prepare and earth the cables according to the instructions of the cable supplier. ree examples are
described in 5.1.2.1 – 5.1.2.3. It should be noted that these are only examples. In every case instruc-
tions of the cable supplier shall be carefully followed.
5.1.2.1 Stranded loose tube cable
• Remove the cable sheath and other protective layers up to the sheath removal point marked before.
• Separate the loose tubes from each other.
• Remove the possible lling compound from the bre tubes by using the methods of the cable
supplier.
• Strip the possible metallic central element and cut it to the length of 20 cm.
• Cut the possible non-metallic central element and all llers at the point where the sheath has been
cut.

• Connect the connector of the earthing conductor to the possible aluminium laminate or corrugated
steel tape armouring of the cable.
5.1.2.2 Slotted core cable
• Remove the cable sheath and other protective layers up to the sheath removal point marked before.
• Connect the connector of the earthing conductor to the possible aluminium laminate or corrugated
steel tape armouring of the cable.
• Separate the bres or bre bundles from the slots. Take care that the bres don’t get mixed with each
other.
• If the cable is supplied with a metallic central element, cut the slotted core with the central element
to the length of 20 cm. Strip the central element to the length of 15 cm.
• If the cable is supplied with a non-metallic central element, cut the slotted core with the central ele-
ment to the length of 50 mm.
• Clean the bres from the lling compound.
• Bring the bundled bres into the tubes of the installation kit (accessory). e minimum length of the
installation kit is 110 cm.
• Push the installation kit around the slotted core in such a way that the bres in the slots are guided
directly into the protective tubes of the installation kit.
• Fasten the installation kit to the slotted core with the clamp included in the installation kit. If the
fastening is not tight, use the small adjusting parts of kit under the clamp.
• Mark the ends of the protection tubes by numbers 1, 2, …

5.1.2.3 Central tube cable
• Expose the strength elements on both sides of the cable and turn them up to sheath removal point
marked before, cut them to the length of 200 mm and bend them on two sides.
• In the case of a cable with aluminium laminate or corrugated steel tape remove the sheath and other
protective layers up to the distance of 50 cm from the sheath removal point. Remove the cable sheath
in several parts.
• In the case of non-metallic cable remove the sheath and protective layers up to the to sheath removal
point. Remove the cable sheath in several parts.
• Remove the sheath from the possible aluminium laminate or corrugated steel tape by heating it e.g.
with a warm-air heater.
• Use e.g. a steel brush to remove also the possible plastic coating from the laminate or steel tape in
order to ensure the electrical contact for earthing.
• Cut the central tube at the distance of 30 mm from the aluminium laminate or the corrugated steel
tape and in a case of non-metallic cable at the distance of 30 mm from the cable sheath. Cut the
central tube by making rst a scratch around the tube and then bending the tube carefully at the both
sides of the scratch as long as it breaks.
• Take a hold from the bres with ngers and pull the central tube away.
• Clean the bres from the lling compound.
• Push the fan-out part of the installation kit (accessory) over the central tube and fasten it with the
clamp. If the fastening is not tight, use the small adjusting parts of kit under the clamp.
• Draw the bundled bres into the protection tubes of the installation kit by using the pulling wire
included into the kit. e minimum length of the tubes is 110 cm.
• Push the protection tubes to the slots of the fan-out part and guide the bres at the same time directly
from the central tube to the tubes.
• Mark the ends of the protection tubes by numbers 1, 2, …
5.1.3 Fibre entry to the splice tray
• Remove the covers of the splice trays.
• Bring the ends of the bre tubes to the le sides of splice trays (seen from the top) and put them
parallel so that the outermost tube is tube 1 and the innermost tube is the last tube.
• Fix the tubes with binders.
• Loop the bres on the splice trays.
• Make the appropriate markings on the splice tray.
• Reattach the covers to the splice trays.
