9.2

Place appropriate intertray identification markers on a transportation tube.

(Intertray ID markers are marked “1TO” through “8TO” and “1” through “8”, to indicate which tray
the jumper came from and which tray it is going to.)

9.3

Guide the desired fibers through the marked transportation tube (now called the intertray

jumper).

9.4

Secure one end of the intertray jumpers to the originazing splice tray with two tie wraps. If

you have to remove existing tie wraps, cut and replace one at a time to avoid moving the existing
transportation tubes.

9.5

Guide the jumper through the opening in the tray mounting bracket to the appropriate

destination tray and position it in the tray (see section 7).

9.6

With a pen, mark the jumper 5 mm beyond the tie wrap slot. Use the buffer tube cutter to

cut the jumper at the mark, and secure the jumper to the splice tray with two tie wraps. The fibers
may now be stored or spliced.

Fiber splicing and storage on trays

10.1

Always begin splicing with the bottom tray. Lift the remaining trays and secure them with

the tray support on the underside of the second tray.

10.2

Remove all stored, unspliced fibers from the tray and clean those that will be spliced. Refer

to the splice manufacturer’s instructions for directions on fiber splicing.

10.3

Store the first completed splice in the

top splice slot (the slot farthest from the hinge).
Coil the slack loops around the tray in an orderly
fashion. The six splice modules can be moved
or removed to accommodate your splice arran-
gement; however, the lowest splice module
(the one closest to the hinge) can not be closer
to the hinge than its
position indicates. No more than six modules
can be placed in one splice tray.

10.4

Subsequent splices should be stored in the tray from the top slot down. Slack loops can

be secured under the tabs around the outside edges of the tray and in the spaces between splice
modules.

10.5

When you have completed all the splices in the tray, replace the tray cover. Repeat steps

10.1 - 10.4 until all splices are complete and all tray covers habe been replaced.
