How to Install the FWMHSSGS-3456 Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the FWMHSSGS-3456 enclosure, including mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Phillips screwdriver, Socket (11/32) for hex nuts

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Cable glands, Incoming cable plates, Tak Ty

  1. Mount the enclosure

    Secure the enclosure to a flat wall using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure the wall is flat to prevent distortion.

  2. Install incoming cable plates

    Align the incoming cable plates with the incoming cables and secure them using the mounting nuts from the side or top/bottom cover plates.

  3. Connect the cable glands

    Remove the plastic plugs from the cutouts and replace them with cable glands. Tighten the cable glands around the incoming cables to secure them.

  4. Route the fiber cables

    Strip the outer jacket of the fiber cables to expose at least 20 feet of fiber. Route the fibers within the enclosure and secure them using Tak Ty or saddle clips.

  5. Install splice trays

    Insert the upper pin of the splice tray into the splice tray holder and snap the lower pin into the plastic snap holder. Ensure up to 24 splice trays are installed.

  6. Calibrate and test connections
