Alternatively, the ribbon fiber can be secured using 3/8-in

braided tubing as shown in Figure 8.

Cut a section of buffer tube 1 inch in length.

Slide the buffer tube section inside the

braided tubing as shown in Figure 8.

Wrap with vinyl tape to secure the tube to

the tubing.

Alternatively, (for OSE-ST-3TQ tray applications) the ribbon

fiber can be secured using clear transport tubing as shown

in Figure 9.

Wrap the last inch or two of the transport

tube with friction tape (this will help the

tube adhere to the tray).

Group the incoming tubes into two sets

of two tubes (the first being the incoming

pair, and the second being the outgoing) as

shown in Figure 9.

Secure the tubes to the tray using cable ties

(Figure 9).

Splicing Ribbon Fibers

NOTE: Place the tray as close to the splicing equipment as

possible. This reduces the possibility of broken fibers

while transferring them from the tray to the splicer.

Step 1:

Identify the #1 ribbon from each buffer tube. Loop

both ribbons twice around the inside perimeter of

the splice tray. Make sure the ribbons are under the

inside lip of the tray.

IMPORTANT:

Avoid twisting the ribbon so it will lie neatly

in the tray. Twisting the fiber can lead to high

attenuation. Avoid crossing the ribbons over

each other.

Step 2:

Remove just enough ribbon from the tray

to reach the splicing equipment. Do not

remove the entire length of ribbon from the

tray or twist ribbons as they are removed.

Step 3:

Place one ribbon in the splice organizer in

the slot on the far left side of the organizer,

entering from the top. Loop the other ribbon

another half loop and place it on the right

side of the organizer.
