Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the triangular alert icon (seen below) and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence.

Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.

Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result. Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.

Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when moving or installing Fiber Distribution Hub cabinets. Verify that the maximum lift weight rating of the equipment is sufficient to handle the weight of the cabinet.

Danger: Do not stand under a Fiber Distribution Hub cabinet as it is being hoisted into position for mounting. A failure of the lifting equipment or apparatus could result in serious personal injury and cause significant damage to the cabinet.

Warning: Before digging, check with all local utilities for the presence of buried cables or pipes. Contact with underground cables or pipes, especially electric power cables and gas service lines, could interrupt local utility service and cause serious personal injury and extensive property damage.

Figure 1. Typical Cabinet

The cabinet may be mounted on a concrete pad or on a mounting sleeve. Mounting kits (accessories) are available for each mounting option. The feeder and distribution cables (stranded cable only) enter/exit the cabinet from the bottom.

Clamps are provided for securing the cables to the inside of the cabinet. The bottom of the cabinet is enclosed with a moisture barrier. The cable entry/exit hole is fitted with a flexible membrane to resist the entry of dust, moisture, and insects. GORE membrane vents are provided to release any moisture that may accumulate within the cabinet.

The exterior shell of the cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum and is coated with an almond-colored finish. Each cabinet is equipped with a single front door equipped with a tamper-resistant latch, padlock hasp, stainless steel hinges, and door catches that prevent accidental closing. Access to the cabinet requires a

216B key tool (accessory) to release the latch

handle. Lifting eyes are provided for hoisting the cabinet into position for mounting. Each cabinet is equipped with a 6-inch ground spacer/riser for extra ground clearance. An additional spacer/riser (accessory item) can be installed if even more ground clearance is required.

2 BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION

2.1 Installation Overview

Installation of the 288 cabinet with splicing involves the following main tasks: Mounting the Cabinet – The cabinet must be mounted on a support base. The following two

mounting options are available:

• Mounting Sleeve (FMS) – The FMS is a polymer concrete sleeve that mounts in the

ground. 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 vault for OSP cables.

• Poured Concrete Pad – Concrete base with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF is a

stainless-steel frame that is embedded in the concrete during installation of the pad. The cabinet attaches to the PMF which holds it securely to the pad.

Splitter Installation – The cabinet may be ordered with one or two splitters. If additional splitters are required, they must be ordered separately. All splitter modules that are ordered separately must be installed in the splitter compartment.

ADCP-96-139 • Rev B • July 2017

Feeder Cable Installation – The feeder cable must be routed to the cabinet and spliced to the splitter input fibers.

Distribution Cable Installation - The distribution cables must be routed to the cabinet and spliced to the distribution panel pigtails.

Splitter Output Fiber Connections – Service is enabled by connecting the splitter output fiber connectors to the subscriber distribution ports. Unused output fibers are temporarily “parked” in the storage panel until they are needed for service.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspection

Use the following procedure to unpack and inspect the cabinet and all accessories:

1. Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container.

2. Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage a nd verify with the packing slip.

3. If damage is found or parts are missing, file a cla im with th e comm ercial c arrier an d notify ADC Customer Service. Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.

4. Refer to Section 11 of this manual if you need to contact ADC.

4.3 Concrete Pad Construction

Use the following procedure to construct the concrete pad:

1. Build a wood form for the concrete pad using 2 x 6 framing lumber as shown in Figure 12.

2. Locate the PMF as shown in the construction diagram (see Figure 10). When installed, the top surface of the PMF must be flush and level with the top of the concrete pad.

Note: Use temporary top framing to keep the top surface of the PMF flush and level with the top of the concrete pad (see Figure 12).

3. Place reinforcing material inside the form but outside of the PMF.

4. Verify that the PMF and form are level. Depending on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the concrete pad may be 0 to 3 inches (0 to 7.6 cm) above the final grade. The weld nuts are covered with plugs which must be left in place until the enclosure is mounted.

5. Pour the concrete to form the pad but do not pour concrete into the center area of the PMF. Note: Allow some concrete to flow under the flanges on the bottom of the PMF so the

PMF will be locked in place when the concrete hardens. However, do not allow concrete to fill the center of the PMF. If necessary, partially fill the center of the PMF with sand or gravel to prevent an inflow of concrete.

6 DISTRIBUTION CABLE INSTALLATION AND SPLICING

This section describes how to install the OSP distribution cables and how to splice the distribution cable fibers to the distribution panel pigtails.

6.1 Distribution Cable Installation

The OSP distribution cables enter/exit the cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/exit point to the cabinet, the each cable is secured with two clamps. Beyond the clamps, the outer sheath of the cable is removed to expose the optical fibers. Distribution cables are typically 72- or 144-fiber cable with stranded construction. Blocking and/or grounding kits should be installed (per local practice) to protect the exposed optical fibers. From the clamping point, the optical fibers are routed to the splice trays for splicing to the distribution panel pigtails. A lug for securing cable strength members is provided with the cabinet

Use the following procedure to install each distribution cable:

1. Remove the cable bracket cover (if not already removed) from the cabinet as described in

Section 5.2 to allow installation of the OSP cables. Then return to step 2 of this procedure

to complete installation of the distribution cable.

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

3. Pull the cable up through the cabinet and strip off 17 feet (6.1 m) of the outside cable sheath to expose the fiber subunits.

4. Install breakout/blocking and grounding kits as required by local practice. Follow the installation instructions provided with each kit.

Note: If a grounding kit is required, strip the cable sheath to the recommended length and install the grounding clamp prior to securing the cable to the cabinet.

5. Locate the cable clamping positions specified for securing the distribution cables to the cable bracket as shown in Figure 28.

Note: Use cable positions 3 and 5 for distribution ca bles that are greater than 0.8 inches in diameter that require large size cable clamps.

6. Locate the clamps, grommets, cover plates, and screws that are provided for securing the cable to the cabinet.

Note: Two large cable clamps (for cables 0.8 inches or more in diameter) are provided for securing the distribution cable to the cabinet. Additional cable clamps must be ordered separately if more than one distribution cable will be installed or if small cable clamps (for cables smaller than 0.8 inches in diameter) are required. If additional large cable clamps are required, order kit FD3-ACCLGCLMP. If small cable clamps are required, order kit FD3-ACCSMCLMP.

7. Assemble each pair of clamps (and grommet if required) on the cable as shown in

Figure 29 and secure the cable to the cabinet at the selected cable clamping position.

11. If a grounding kit was installed on the cable, refer to Section 6.2 for the cable grounding procedure. If a grounding kit was not installed on the cable, refer to Section 6.3 for the feeder cable splicing procedure.

6.2 Grounding the Distribution Cables

If a distribution cable is constructed with a metallic shield or other metallic components, then a grounding kit must be installed on the cable. The grounding kit should provide a stud for attaching a #6 AWG copper jumper wire to the distribution cable. Use the following procedure for grounding a distribution cable that has been fitted with a grounding kit:

1. Connect a #6 AWG stranded copper jumper wire (terminated with ring terminals) to the distribution cable grounding stud.

2. Locate the weather-seal strip attached to the right side of the cabinet grounding system as shown in Figure 31.

3. Route the distribution cable jumper wire to the weather-seal strip as shown in Figure 31 and push the free end of the wire through the hole that corresponds to the cable mounting position.

10.4 Replacing a Damaged Fiber or Connector

A damaged fiber or connector can usually be replaced. The following describes the various replacement options.

• Damaged Splitter Output Fiber: Replace the splitter output fiber from the connector all

the way back into the splitter. Splice a new pigtail (use only pigtails with bend-optimized fiber) to the remaining section of the old fiber within the splitter chassis. This procedure requires removing and disassembling the splitter to insert a splice chip and to perform the splice. A kit is available from ADC. Refer to ADCP-96-034 for the procedure.

• Damaged Distribution or Feeder Connector: Replace the connector at the bulkhead

adapter if just the connector alone is damaged. Use a field-installable connector replacement kit. Refer to Section 10.4.1 for the replacement procedures.

1. Disconnect the damaged connector and the good connector from the adapter and install a dust cap on the good connector.

2. Replace the damaged connector as specified in the procedures provided with the fieldinstallable connector replacement kit.

3. Clean both connectors as specified in the Optical Fiber Connector Wet and Dry Cleaning Instructions (ADCP-90-159) or by locally approved procedures.

4. Reconnect the good connector and the replacement connector to the adapter.

10.5 Door Gasket Replacement

Damaged door gaskets may be replaced using the door gasket kit which includes a ro ll of gasket material. The ideal installation temperature for the adhesive used on the replacement gaskets is between 60 and 100 ºF (16 and 38 ºC). Installation is not recommended if the temperature is below 50 ºF (10 ºC). Remove any damaged sections of gasket material from the door. If necessary, use a citrus based adhesive cleaner to remove any adhesive that may stay attached to the door. Cut replacement lengths of gasket material from the roll as needed. Remove the paper backing to expose the adhesive and then carefully apply the replacement gasket to the door. Take care not to leave any gaps between the meeting sections of the gasket strips.

10.6 Door Replacement

Damaged cabinet doors may be replaced using the door replacement kit. Use the following procedure to remove and replace the cabinet doors:

1. Open the cabinet door and lock it in the open position as shown in Figure 50.

2. Use a 3/8-inch nut driver to remove the locking nuts and washers that secure the door bracket slide to the bottom edge of the door as shown in Figure 51. Save the nuts and washers for reuse.

3. Use a 3/8-inch nut driver to remove the locking nuts that secure the hinges to the door. Save nuts for reuse.

Note: Support the door as the last nuts are removed to prevent the door from falling.

10.7 Grounding System Terminal Access Procedure

Fiber optic cables with metallic strength members or shields are grounded to a common grounding system. The grounding system is designed to allow the metallic elements of each cable to be isolated for connection of cable locating equipment. The grounding system terminals may be accessed through a small cover located on the rear side of the cabinet. Use the following procedure to access and isolate the metallic elements of individual cables:

1. Locate the small hinged access cover at the rear side of the cabinet as shown in Figure 52.

2. Use the 216B tool to remove the screw that secures the access cover in the closed position.

3. Swing open the cover and locate the grounding stud that corresponds to the cable to be located.

Note: A designation label is provided on the access cover for identifying cables.
