Article Overview

To set up a fiber optic splice tray, follow detailed installation steps that include fiber preparation, cable installation, and ensuring proper organization for optimal performance.

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

  1. Gather Necessary Tools and Materials:
    • Fiber optic strippers
    • Cleavers
    • Fusion splicer
    • Heat shrink sleeves
    • Safety glasses
    • Fiber optic cleaning kit (alcohol wipes, lint-free cloths)
    • Splice trays and splice sleeves
  2. Prepare the Fiber:
    • Remove the Cable Jacket: Carefully strip the outer jacket of the fiber optic cable to expose the loose tubes. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for this process.
    • Clean and Abrade: Use a cleaning solution to clean the loose tubes and the strength member sheath. Abrade the outer cable jacket for about 150mm to ensure a clean surface for sealing .
  3. Install the Cable in the Splice Tray:
    • Select and Attach Sealing Rings: Choose sealing rings that match the cable's outer diameter and place them on the cable.
    • Insert the Cable: Position the cable into the designated entry hole of the splice tray. Ensure that the cable is secured and grounded properly.
    • Seal the Cable: Wrap self-adhesive sealing tape around the cable to create a sealed end, preventing moisture ingress .
  4. Splice the Fibers:
    • Cleaving: Use a precision cleaver to cut the fiber ends at a right angle, which is essential for effective fusion splicing.
    • Fusion Splicing: Attach the fusion splicer to each fiber end and secure them tightly to combine the fibers .
  5. Organize the Splice Tray:
    • Insert Splices: Place the splices into the designated slots of the splice tray, managing any excess fiber length by coiling it within the tray.
    • Close the Tray: Once all splices are in place, close the splice tray securely to protect the fibers from environmental and mechanical stress .
  6. Final Checks:
    • Ensure that all connections are secure and that the splice tray is properly labeled for future maintenance. Good housekeeping is essential to prevent damage to the fibers . By following these steps, you can effectively set up a fiber optic splice tray, ensuring the integrity and performance of your fiber optic network. Proper installation and organization are crucial for minimizing signal loss and maintaining reliable communication.
