1.4 Step Four – Separate fiber cores and prepare work prior to fixing fiber cable.

1.4.1 Wind 2 layers of insulation tape on protective coat of fiber core for protection. Meanwhile, get rid of the stuffing to separate fiber core and clean them. Form a ring with the diameter of 100mm or so and fix it on the fiber temporarily by adhesive tape.

1.4.2 Depending on fiber cable stripped, the following two cases are available.

    1.All fibers are to be branched after being spliced completely.

    2.Some of fibers are for straight-through after being winded, while the others are for branch splicing.

1.4.3 The FOSC is provided with 5 single entry/exit tubes which suit for single fiber cables with max. diameter ф20 mm and 1 mass entry/exit tube which suits for 1piece of fiber cable with max. diameter ф 32mm or 2 pieces of fiber cables with max.diameter ф 25mm or multi-pieces of fiber cables with short diameter.

1.4.4 Mass entry/exit tube is required if some fibers are for straight-through

1.4.5 The corresponding entry/exit tube cover could be slightly knocked out with screwdriver from inside to outside according to number and diameter of fiber cable required.

1.4.6 Reserve reinforced core in 35mm length and cut off the unnecessary ones.

1.4.7 See Drawing 3.

Important Issues:Entry/exit tubes are to be selected accurately to make it easy for splicing and sealing.

1.5 Fix reinforced core, and pyrocondense, fix and seal fiber cable.

1.5.1 Insert fiber cable into the corresponding heat shrinkable fixing tube, further insert the them into entry/exit tube at the bottom of FOSC.

1.5.2 Use to loosen the screwsof reinforced core with a screwdriver, which is to be inserted into the fixing slot afterward and tighten it. Then retighten it with a screwdriver .

1.5.3 Hitch heat shrinkable fixing sleeve to the fiber cable till its root by hand.

1.5.4 Please refer to Drawing 5 for installing branching clip.

1.5.5 Heat heat shrinkable fixing sleeve with fire sprayer to make it hugging entry/exit tube and fiber cable to reach complete sealing.

1.5.6 See Drawing 5

important issue: 1. Screws of reinforced core should be tightened.

                           2. While heating, heat shrinkable fixing tube should shrink evenly, and there should be no bubbles, pores and other defects inside the tube.

1.7 Step Seven -Install heat shrinkable protective sleeve and house fibers.

1.7.1 When having completed splicing the fibers, the first fiber ring should be housed on the farthest side of FOST, the remaining fiber optic should be winded, forming a ring with diameter not less than 80mm. then put it into FOST (Fiber Optic Splice Tray)together with heat shrinkable protective sleeve.( Firstly fix heat shrinkable protective sleeve into the slot, then enlarge  the diameter of fiber ring properly.)

1.7.2 see Drawing 6

1.8.6 Check whether heat shrinkable fixing sleeve is reliable and sealing completely.

1.8.7 See Drawing 4.

Important issues: If any problems occur, they should be solved right away

1.9 Step Nine – Assemble FOSC housing and fix FOSC.

1.9.1 Put desiccant into FOSC.

1.9.2 Put FOSC cover on base directly.

1.9.3 Install plastic hoop between FOSC cover and base, tighten hoop locking system,which is to be fixed by hoop fixing bolt then.
