6. SPLICING
6.01 The splice module accommodates most splicing methods which should be performed in
accordance with local practices. The splice tray splice chip should be selected to match the local
splice method.
6.02 Open the drawer and remove the splice tray while carefully uncoiling the service loop.
6.03 Secure the fiber bundles to the splice tray with tie wraps as shown in Figure 9 . The tie
wraps should secure the protective sleeve or jacket but must not pinch the fibers.
6.04 Route the fibers on the splice tray as shown in Figure 9 . The routing in the splice tray is
dependent on the fiber entry direction (either from the left or the right).
6.05 Splice using local practice.
6.06 When splicing is complete, snap the protective cover on the splice tray.
