2 BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION

This section provides general installation considerations, unpacking and inspection procedures, and lists the tools and materia ls required for cabinet installation.

2.1 Installation Overview

Installation of the ACE-142S/142V cabinet involves the fo llowing main tasks:

Installing a Support Base–The cabinet must be mounted on a suitable support base. The following two mounting options are available:

• Fiberglass M ounti ng Sl eeve (FM S)–The FMS provides a stable mounting platform plus

storage space under the cabinet for OSP cable slack. The FMS may also be used as a splicing va ult for the OSP feeder and distribution cables.

• Poured Concrete Pad–Concrete slab with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF

provides a stainless-steel frame for mounting the cabinet. The PMF ensures that the cabinet will be securel y anchor ed to the concrete slab.

ADCP-96-015 • Issue 1 • July 2004

Mounting the Cabinet–After the support base is installed, the cabinet is secured to the support base.

Feeder and Di stribution Ca ble Installa tion–The cabinet OSP feeder and distribution cables are routed into the cabinet and spliced.

Connector Panel Installation-Additional connector panels are installed in the cabinet if needed.

6 DISTRIBUTION CABLE INSTALLATION AND SPLICING

This section desc ribes how to ins ta ll the OSP distribu tion cables in the ACE-142S/142V cabinet and how to use the distribution cable splice trays. If the cabinet is equipped with pre-installed distribution cables, refer to Section 6.2 for the bottom cover installation proc edure.

6.1 Distribution Cable Installation

The OSP distribution cables enter the ACE-142S/142V cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/ exit point to the cabinet, each distribution cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond the clamp, the outer sheath of the cable is removed to expose the optical fibers. Moisture blocking, grounding, and fanout kits must be installed (as required by local practice) to protect the exposed optical fibers. The OSP distribution cable fiber count may be any multiple of 72 (depending on the number of conne ctor panels) with stranded or ribbon type fiber construction. From the clamping point, the optical fibers are routed to the splice tr ays for splicing to t he connector panel pigtails.

Use the following pr ocedure to install the distribution cable:

1. Route the OSP distribution cable into the cabinet from the bottom. If the cabinet is mounted on a concrete pad, use the duct on the left side.

ADCP-96-015 • Issue 1 • July 2004

2. Pull the cable up through the cabinet and strip off 156 inches (396 cm) of the outside cable sheath to expose the f iber subunits.

3. Install moisture-blocking, fanout, and grounding kits as required by local practice. Follow the installation instructions provided with each kit.

Caution: A fanout kit is required when installing ribbon cable. The fanout kit includes plastic tubes that protect the fiber ribbons and prevent damage.

4. Nine cable clamping positions are provided near the center of the cabinet as shown in

Figure 20. Select one of the clamping positions as the attachment point for the cable.

Note: Use the middle cable clamp positions first and the top clamp positions second when installing the distribution cables. The bottom clamp positions are extra. The bracket for the top row of clamps may be removed if necessary to facilitate cable installation.

8 PRE-INSTALLED DISTRIBUTION CABLE CONFIGURATION

ACE-142V cabinets are equipped with pre-installed distribution cables that enter/exit the cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/exit points, each cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond the clamp, the outer sheath of each cable is remo ved and the fibers are broken out int o subunits. Each subunit is fanned out into twelve individual fibers and each fiber is terminated with a connector . The fi ber sub units are routed to the connector panels where each f iber is conne cted to a bulkhead adapter.

Each connector panel can accommodate six 12-fiber subunits which equals 72 fiber ports per panel. Each distribution cable typically has a fiber count that is a multiple of 72 to correspond with the number of ports provided by each connector panel. Depending on the option ordered, cabinets may be equipped with up to nine distribution cables. A drawing is provided with each ACE-142 V cabinet that indicates the c onnector panel and optical p ort assignments for the fibers within each distrib ution cable. Refer to this drawing whe n splicing to determine the terminating port for each fiber within each cable. A diagram of a typical distribution cable configuration is shown in Figure 33.
