READY TO TERMINATE VERSION: CONNECTORISING
Phase 1
• Place the patch panel on a working shelf where you can work properly. • Remove the cover from the patch panel. • Foresee at least 5 meters of spare cable in case the cable breaks.

Phase 2
• Prepare the front faceplate with SC or ST couplers. • Slide the front in the sleefs (Position 1, 2 or 3). • The more you put the faceplate to the back, the bigger the bending radius of the patchcords.

Phase 3
• Remove 2 meters of the outer sheath and the aramid yarns from the cable. • Avoid damaging the fibres while cutting the outer jacket and yarns.

Phase 4
• When patch cables are used (SC, DC, ZC, SC-MT), use the following installation procedure: Fix outer coating onto base of the patch panel. • The tie-wraps must not be tightened too firmly to avoid tension of the fibres.

Phase 5
• If other cables than the patch cables have to be attached to the patch panel, then the cable gland has to be used. • Install the cable gland. • Insert the cable with the outer coating in the cable gland. • Screw the nut of the cable gland further to the patch panel. The rubber ring inside the cable gland will narrow itself and hold the cable in position.

Phase 6
• Put the loop rings in the bottom ot the patch panel. • Provide a few spare loops in the patch panel and put the fibres in the loop rings. • Measure the length of each fibre to the coupler and cut the rest of the fibre. • Take the fibre out of the loop rings and mount the connectors on the fibre. • Put back the fibres in the loops rings and insert the mounted connectors in the couplers. • Respect the colour coding.

Phase 8
• Now gently screw the patch panel in the frame. • Loop the fibre cable in the back of the cabinet respecting the minimum bending radius.

READY TO SPLICE VERSION: PIGTAILS
Phase 1
• Place the patch panel on a working shelf where you can work properly. • Remove the cover from the patch panel. • Foresee at least 5 meters of spare cable in case of cable breaks.

Phase 2
• Prepare the front faceplate with SC or ST couplers. • Slide the front in the sleefs (position 1, 2 or 3). • The more you put the faceplate to the back, the bigger the bending radius of the patchcords.

Phase 3
• Remove cover from splicetray. • Put the splice tray on its place.

Phase 4
• Remove 1.6 meters of outer sheath from the tube(s). • Remove 700 mm of tube from the fibres. • Use the correct tools in order not to damage the fibres while cutting into the tube.

Phase 5
• Attach the outer coating of the cable onto the base by means of tie-wraps. • Tighten the tie-wraps firmly.

Phase 6
• If no tie-wraps are used, then the cable gland has to be used to affix the cable to the patch panel. • Install the cable gland. • Insert the cable with the outer coating in the cable gland. • Screw the nut of the cable gland further to the patch panel. The rubber ring inside the cable gland will narow itself and hold the cable in position.

Phase 7
• Place the tubes under the pigtails.
Phase 8
• Attach the loose tube to the splice tray by means on tie wraps. • Loop the fibres in the splicing-cassette to determine the right fibre length (foresee at least 2 loops) and cut the fibre. • Also loop the fibres of the pigtails in the cassette in the other direction as the loops of the cable-fibres to ensure correct positioning of the fibres for the splicing.
Phase 9
• Affix the loose tube with tie-wraps to the base of the patch panel.

Phase 10
• Then take the fibres out of the splice tray to do the splicing of. • Respect the colour coding.
