ADCP-90-216 Issue 2, January 1998 1. GENERAL 1.01 The ADC 7-Inch Fiber Distribution System (FDS) (Figure 1) provides the termination, splicing, and storage requirements of a large fiber optic cable system. The splice module is compatible with the 7-Inch FDS or it can be used with or as a replacement for the Lucent LGX splice modules. 1.02 The FDS is modular in design so that additional capacity and functions can be added as the system requirements change. A 7-Inch FDS consists of these major com

ADCP-90-216 Issue 2, January 1998 Danger: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the optical bulkhead of an operational transmitter, or into the launching (output) end of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical fiber connector to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps prevent contamination of connectors and

The OSP cable clamp kit accommodates cables with outside diameters that range from 0.5 to 0.8 inches (13-20 mm). 5.08 Select a grommet that when placed around the cable, has a gap of nearly 0 to 0.30 inches (0 - 8 mm). The grommet is not required if the cable diameter is between 0.7 inch and 0.8 inches (1.78 cm and 2.03 cm). 5.09 Assemble the cable clamp components as shown in Figure 7 and attach to the side of th
