Step 2:

Select the first subunit, align along the tongue of the side storage compartment making a mark

where the tongue ends.

Step 3:

Peel the subunit to the mark exposing the ribbons.

Step 4: Using the ribbon splitting tool (Corning P/N RST-000), split each 24-fiber ribbon into 12-fiber groups.

Organize the ribbons in the desired splicing order. Secure the order with some non-aggressive tape,

such as painter's tape.

NOTE: Only use the ribbon splitting tool on the first two to four inches of ribbon. Clean excess ribbon matrix

from the tool often. Split the rest of the ribbon length by hand.

Step 5:

Create a loop with the ribbon bundle and work it into the side storage area for splicing slack. It is

recommended to place subsequent loops at slightly diffrerent length. Bring the ribbon bundle out of

the side slack storage area, through clip A, and up to the splicing deck.

Step 6: Take the bundle of fibers wrapped in tape through the side plastic clip ("B") and remove the tape.

Step 7:

Close the clip to secure the fibers within it (Figure 17).
