How to Install the FDS9N-24-LAP Fusion Splice Cassette

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FDS9N-24-LAP Fusion Splice Cassette for fiber optic connections.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Pan-Ty cable ties, Splice sleeves, Electrical tape

  1. Mount the cassette

    Secure the FDS9N-24-LAP cassette to the designated mounting location using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

  2. Prepare the incoming fiber cable

    Strip the outer jacket of the incoming fiber cable to a length of 39 inches [990mm]. Secure the cable using Pan-Ty cable ties and aramid yarn.

  3. Install splice sleeves

    Expose all fiber ends for splicing. Slide a splice sleeve onto either the pigtail or field fiber, then splice all fibers and heat the splice sleeves according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  4. Attach the cover

    Align the cover with the base of the cassette and slide it forward until the cover latch engages with the base.

  5. Verify connections

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the fiber connections and ensure all splices are properly made.
