4. Installation
TPA-6946
Step 1: Install two screws or cage nuts and screws from the hardware mounting kit.
Step 2: Place the housing in the rack by guiding the inverted U-shaped openings on the bottom of the housing
mounting brackets over the two installed screws. Start two additional mounting screws into the
mounting brackets. Tighten all screws to secure the housing to the rack.
NOTE: The mounting hardware should be installed on both sides of the rack in a location that corresponds with
where the bottom of the XD-02U-PT will be located.

Step 3: Locate the cable strain-relief kit. Using the included hardware, install the strain-relief bracket and UCC
cable clamp onto the side of the housings that the cable will enter.
Step 4: Refer to SRP 004-281-AEN sheath removal procedure to remove 126 inches of cable sheath from
the cut end of the cable. Remove the sheath to this length in accordance to the diagram below.

Step 5: With reference to SRP 004-281-AEN universal cable clamp, install and secure the prepared cable into the
appropriate UCC cable clamp installed during step 3.
Step 6: Pass the subunits through the brush-cable entry port located on the side of the housing. Although the
RocketRibbon™ cable subunit offers protection for the ribbons inside, the installer may choose to further
protect the subunits using off-the-shelf spiral wrap.

Step 7: Measure and mark 30 inches from the end of the subunits. Remove subunit jacketing at the 30 inch
mark. The prepared cable should match the diagram below.
Step 8: Locate ribbon pigtail assemblies 1A and 1B. Carefully de-route the assemblies from the rear of the
housings and place along side the appropriate ribbon cable subunit according to your splicing plan.
The ribbon pigtail assemblies may be fastened to the ribbon cable subunits using hook-and-loop
straps along the length for ease of management.

Step 9: Carefully cut the ribbon pigtail assemblies to match the length of the ribbon fibers in each ribbon
cable subunit. Use scissors to carefully remove 30 inches of the braided mesh tubing from each
ribbon pigtail assembly so that the exposed ribbon fiber matches that of the ribbon cable subunit.

Step 10: Prepare the splice trays for splicing by attaching each 288F ribbon cable subunit to a 288F ribbon
splice tray using the tie wraps provided. Friction tape should be used to strengthen the bond
between the subunit and the splice tray.

Step 11: Attach the appropriate two 144F ribbon pigtail assemblies to a 288F ribbon splice tray using the tie
wraps provided. Friction tape should be used to strengthen the bond between the ribbon pigtail
assemblies and the splice tray.
Step 12: With reference to 2543-D-XSB splice tray (SRP P/N: 001-008-AEN), pre-route and trim the ribbon
fibers according to the illustration below. Begin by splicing Splice Group 1. Next add the splice insert
riser and continue splicing with Splice Group 2 until all ribbons are spliced. Complete this process
until all trays are spliced.

Step 13: Once all ribbons in each tray are spliced, remove the protective film from both sides of the clear splice
tray cover and place the cover onto each splice tray.

Step 14: Carefully coil the ribbon cable subunits and ribbon pigtail assembly bundle into the rear of the XD-
02U-PT housing in a counter-clockwise direction. Secure the splice trays into the splice tray holder
using the provided hook-and-loop straps.
