How to Install the FHS9N-12-3AR Splice Cassette
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FHS9N-12-3AR 12-Fiber OS2 SC/APC Splice Cassette.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Pan-Ty Cable Ties, 40mm Ribbon Splice Sleeves
- Remove the cover
Press down on the cover removal latch and slide the cover back to remove it from the splice cassette.
- Prepare the incoming cable
Strip the outer jacket of the incoming field cable by 20 inches. Secure the cable with Pan-Ty Cable Ties and optionally use a screw for the Aramid Yarn strain relief.
- Expose and splice fibers
Expose all fiber ends for splicing. Slide a splice sleeve onto either the pigtail or field fiber, splice the fibers, and heat the splice sleeves according to the splicer manufacturer's instructions.
- Route fibers into the cassette
Route the spliced fibers into the cassette, ensuring they are located under the routing tabs. Secure the splice sleeves in the splice sleeve holders, stacking up to two splice sleeves under each holder.
- Reinstall the cover
Slide the cover forward onto the base of the splice cassette to reinstall it.
- Label the cassette
Use the label targets provided on the splice cassette to label the fibers appropriately.
