Cable Preparation and Installation
The slack storage compartment of the wall box is large enough to
1.
accommodate 15 feet of buffer tube slack from a cable matching the wall box port count. However, it is recommended that you only prep as much cable as you will need to perform your work.
Note: You will need approximately 3 feet of ber inside the splice
tray so add that to the total prep length.
36, 96 & 144 Port Indoor Wall Box
Installation Manual
The splicing side of the indoor wall box will accommo-
2.
date a cable that is prepped in either a ring cut/mid-span opening fashion or at the end of the cable.
Note: An OSP cable is shown in the picture, but an IFC tight buffer cable can be used as well. If a shielded cable is used, a bonding clamp 3M 4460-D or equivalent can be used.
In order to install cable in the splicing side of the wall box, the feed
3. through plate will need to be removed by removing the screws hold­ing it in place.

Installation Manual
Locate the green cable clamp shells and corresponding barrel nuts from the ship-along hardware.
4.
The cable clamp shells are used in same size pairs. Avoid using a clamp that is too small and does not easily close
5.
around the cable. Use the next larger clamp and grommet tape. The provided grommet tape should be applied to one or two of the clamp shells prior to installation, depending upon the size of the cable.
______________________________________________________
Use the included barrel nuts and cable clamp shells to fasten the cable to the wall box on the threaded studs inside the
6.
wall box. The cable should be mounted so that the breakout is slightly beyond the end of the clamp shell. After mounting the cable, replace the feed through plate with the same screws.

Fiber Splicing
Route the buffer tube to be spliced in the
1.
slack storage area and up to the cassette to
be spliced.
Mark the tie off point of the cassette with a
2.
marker. Make sure to leave around 3 feet of extra buffer tube after the mark to allow for slack in the cassette’s splice tray.
______________________________________________________
Remove all Clearview Blue Cassettes from
3.
the wall box that need to be spliced. This can be done by opening the bulkhead and loosening the captive screws on each side of the cassette which hold the cassette to the bulkhead.

Jumper Installation
Access to the jumper side of the wall box is done via the
1.
security screw on the right hand side of the wall box.
______________________________________________________
Individual jumpers can be inserted through either the upper or
2.
lower hole in the enclosure. You may want to wrap the group of jumpers with some grommet tape to protect them from the edge of the sheet metal at the opening.
Store the slack from the jumpers on the slack management
3.
spools provided. It is recommended that the jumpers leave the radius spools toward the back wall opposite the cable entrance, and then transition forward to the adapters. This will allow for proper jumper swing if the bulkhead is opened. The slack can then be dressed up using the supplied Velcro strips.

Connector Cleaning Procedure
Whether factory terminated or eld spliced, clean connectors are essential for proper system operation. Even the smallest dust particle can cause transmission problems, so for optimal network performance inspect, and if necessary, clean
connectors and adapters prior to mating.
Inspect Then Connect
These are Cleareld recommended products/applications. Use the product you feel will complete your cleaning procedures. Create a “best practice” for your company and follow those procedures.
The use of Chemtronics end face and bulkhead cleaning products and techniques ensures a clean end face, no matter the type of contamination.
Installation Manual
Before cleaning any connector, be sure you know what type of contaminate you are cleaning (dry, uidic, or combination). All the available products are good, it’s the process that you need to be aware of. Using a dry cleaning method to clean “dirt” can lead to scratching of the end face. Learn the
process of cleaning properly.
Note: It is NOT recommended to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the end face.
Cleaning an SC/LC Connector
Cleaning the End Face
Place one wiping paper on QbE-2 FiberSafe™ Cleaning Platen.
(Figure 1)
Apply small amount of precision cleaner (about 1” in diameter) with
Electro-Wash MX pen on to one end of the wipe. (Figure 2)
Hold end face at a 90 degree angle. For APC connection, adjust by
slightly tilting the container or end face. Angle is correct when no drag is felt on the end face. (Figure 3)
Figure 1
Figure 2
Draw end face from wet to dry part of the wipe 3 times. Use just enough
pressure to ensure complete contact between end face and the wipe.
Note: DO NOT retrace previous step.
