CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Using a standard 216 style tool, or similar, remove the
shipping screws from each side of the swing down tray.
A total of two screws will be removed. (Figure 3)
2. Using a standard 216 style tool, or similar, loosen the
shipping screw from the swing down splice tray holder
in order to begin splicing. Do not remove this screw
from the swing down splice tray holder. (Figure 4)
3. Determine the appropriate compression fitting
for the application.
4. Located at the lower right side of the cabinet, knock
out the appropriate mounting hole to accommodate
the compression fitting. (Figure 5)
5. Install the compression fitting, reference the
Compression Fitting Installation section of this
document. (Figure 6)
6. Using local engineering practices determine which
fibers will be unused for the input splicing and separate
the bundles from the fibers that will be routed to the
splice tray.
7. Route the unused buffer tubes through the fiber
management rings located on the side wall of the IDC.

COMPRESSION FITTING
INSTALLATION
Caution: In order to avoid micro bends or fiber damage do not over-tighten the compression fitting
around the fiber cable.
1. Ensure that the mounting hole is free from burrs and that the cabinet surface is smooth and free of debris.
2. Place the hex portion on the body (not the sealing nut) into the mounting hole.
3. Insert the cable through the fitting to the desired position.
Note: For best practice, it is recommended that when working with the 9-port compression fitting that the
multi-port grommet be removed from the fitting body. Slit each of the application appropriate ports and align
the grommet around the cables. Once all required cables are seated in the grommet, insert both the cables
and grommet back into the fitting body.
4. Tighten the sealing nut to hand-tight.
5. Using a wrench hold the body hex stationary while tightening the sealing nut with a second wrench.
Tighten until the cable is held securely in place.
6. Check to ensure that the fitting body is still screwed tightly into the panel.
