How to Install the FHSZA-12-10R HD Flex LC Splice Cassette and Fiber Adapter Panel (FAP)

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the FHSZA-12-10R HD Flex LC Splice Cassette and Fiber Adapter Panel (FAP).

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Lint-free tissue, Isopropyl alcohol

Supplies needed:

Pan-Ty Cable Ties, Splice sleeves

  1. Prepare the incoming field cable

    Strip the outer jacket of the incoming field cable by 20 inches. Secure the cable with Pan-Ty Cable Ties and Kevlar with a screw if applicable. The maximum cable diameter is 7.4mm.

  2. Prepare fibers for splicing

    Expose all fiber ends for splicing. Slide a splice sleeve onto either the pigtail or field fiber. Strip approximately 35mm of coating from each fiber. Wipe the bare fiber with a lint-free tissue soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Cleave the fiber so that 10mm of bare fiber extends past the fiber coating.

  3. Splice and route fibers

    Splice all fibers and heat the splice sleeve(s) according to the splicer manufacturer's instructions. Route the spliced fibers into the cassette, ensuring they are located under the routing tabs. Secure the splice sleeves within the splice organizer.

  4. Install patch cords and close cassette

    Remove the cover and internal dust caps from the cassette. Install patch cords and route cables as shown in Figure 2. Re-install the cover.
