How to Install the FDSZA-24-10P Fiber Splice Cassette

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FDSZA-24-10P Fiber Splice Cassette for optimal performance.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

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

  1. Prepare the incoming 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 with a screw if necessary.

  2. Install the splice cassette

    Mount the FDSZA-24-10P splice cassette onto the designated location, ensuring it is securely fastened with mounting screws.

  3. Connect the fibers

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

  4. Secure the installation

    Wrap electrical tape around the area where Pan-Ty cable ties are installed, and cinch the cable ties around the electrical tape to secure the fibers.

  5. Install the cover

    Place the cover on the base of the splice cassette, aligning the side cover latches, and slide the cover forward until the latch engages with the base.

  6. Verify the installation

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the fibers and ensure all connections are secure. Maintain dust caps on unconnected connectors to prevent laser radiation exposure.
