Installing a Buffer Tube Fan-out Kit

Loose-tube fiber optic cable can be connectorized using Buffer Tube Fan-out (BTF) kits (purchased

separately).

Step 1:

Terminate the fibers according to the instruction provided with the BTF kit.

Step 2:

Slide drawer back completely and route buffer tube behind the flanges on the drawer and

secure with cable ties. Do not tighten cable ties. Route buffer tube around the radius

control guides.

Step 3:

Secure the BTF body to the tray using a cable tie (Figure 11).

Step 4:

Continue routing the fiber and install connectors into the adapters at the rear of the

connector panels.

3.12

Step 1:

Lift up on stop latches and slide drawer toward the front of the housing to make sure

cable is not stressed. If necessary, readjust cable strain-relief to prevent stress on fibers.

Step 2:

Slide drawer back to original position.

Step 3:

If previously removed, slide the cover back in the retaining flanges on top of the housing.

Push the plunger fasteners to secure.

Step 4:

Close the front and rear doors.

3.13

Install patch cords as specified on planning diagrams. Route patch cords through the routing clips on

either side at the front of the housing (Figure 12).

Provide enough patch cord slack to allow the connector panel tray to slide to the back and forward

positions without violating the minimum bend radius of the patch cord.

Record patch cord routing information on the identification (ID) label provided.
