1. PRODUCT INFORMATION
Use this Splice Tray Bracket Kit (pin PCI-SPLC-04R) shown in Figure 1 when
splicing in the peR-1U housing is desired. The kit includes a splice tray platform,
retaining bracket, and hardware for installing up to four Type 2R or two Type 4R
splice trays.
Splice trays and splice protectors are purchased separately.
Factory pigtailed connector panels are also available.
Contact your customer service representative for more information or to purchase
accessories that are sold separately.
2. PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Install Splice Platform
Step 1 Slide cover off of the housing as described in the instruction provided
with the housing.
Step 2 Lift the tray stop latches on the tray and slide tray back completely.
Determine location for cable entry into housing.
Step 3 Remove the routing guides from inside the housing. Retain the lock
nuts for use later.
Step 4 Install the splice platform onto the studs where the routing guides were
located and secure with the nuts retained in Step 1 (Figure 2). Remove
retaining bracket from splice platform.

Install the Cable
Step 1 Secure the cable to the housing as detailed in the instruction provided
with the housing. Leave enough cable slack to allow the sliding tray to
move to the stops in the forward and back positions.
Step 2 Remove cable sheath as required for your application. Suggested
lengths are illustrated in Figure 3. Do not expose the bare fiber until
you are ready to terminate it.
Step 3 Cut strength member and yarn, when present, 4 inches from end of
cable sheath to allow for strain-relief. Strain-relieve as detailed in the
instruction provided with the housing.
NOTE: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the
cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not
apply more pullingforce to the cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or
allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission
characteristics ofthe cable the cable may have to be replaced.

Route Fiber
Step 1 Route buffer tubes from the incoming fiber optic cable over the cable
entry plate. Use a cable tie to loosely attach the buffer tubes to the
retaining flange at the rear of the housing closest to the port where the

Step 3 Place a splice tray on the splice platform.
Step 4 Lift up on tray 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 5 Gather the pigtail fibers and the buffer tubes and route them as a group
around the splice platform to determine the point where they will enter
the splice tray.
Step 6 Mark the fibers and tubes at the point where they will enter the splice
tray (Figure 6).
Step 7 Uncoil the fibers and move the fibers and tray to a location where they
can be spliced. Install fibers into tray and splice according to the
instructions provided with the splice tray being used.

Step 8 Reroute the fibers and tubes around the splice platform.
Step 9 Place the splice tray inside the platform and reinstall the retaining
bracket over the splice tray as shown in Figure 7. Tighten the retainer
nut securely.

When installing Type 2R trays, flip the retaining bracket over as
shown in Figure 8 and secure with the retainer nut. "When
installing only two Type 2 R trays, install the bracket as shown in
Figure 7.

Complete Installation
Step 1 Carefully slide drawer back to original position. Adjust fiber slack if
necessary to prevent fiber damage during drawer actuation.
Step 2 Tighten UCC clamp or cable ties depending on the type of cable
strain-relief chosen. (Refer to installation instruction provided with
housing for more details.)
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.
