How to Install the FHSZA-12-03P Fiber Splice Cassette
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FHSZA-12-03P Fiber Splice Cassette, ensuring proper fiber management and connection.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Pan-Ty Cable Ties, Splice sleeves
- Remove the cover
Press down on the cover removal latch and slide the cover back to remove it from the base.
- Prepare the incoming cable
Strip the outer jacket of the incoming field cable by 20 inches. Secure the cable using 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, then splice all 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 to reinstall it securely.
- Label the cassette
Use the label targets provided on the splice only cassette to apply labels for identification, accommodating labels up to 3.25 inches long and 0.35 inches tall.
