Cable Installation

3.2 Fiber and Power Demarcation Equipment

Installation

Some installations require a surge suppressor or fiber demarcation box. The installation of this

equipment must be in accordance with all local and federal laws. Install this equipment per the

accompanying instructions and architectural and engineering drawings.

3.3 Routing and Connecting Cables

The following cables have screw type connectors that connect easily to the IFU. Sections 3.3.1

through 3.3.4 describe how to connect these cables at the surge suppression and fiber

demarcation equipment.

• Power

• Outdoor fiber

• GPI (optional)

3.3.1 Guidelines for Routing Cables

Observe the following requirements to correctly install all associated IFU cables:

• Ensure that the cables are routed according to the architectural and engineering drawings.

• Refer to the site engineering folder for the proper cable lengths.

• When using the conduit, ensure that it has the capacity to allow all of the cables to pass

through freely. This will ensure that there will be no damage to the fiber after it has been

pulled.

• Ensure that all of the cables for the installation are pulled at one time using the

recommended industry fiber pulling method.

• Once the fiber cables have been pulled through the conduit, perform the fiber continuity test

appropriate to your application to ensure that none of the fibers were damaged in the pull.

For Fast Ethernet multimode applications, refer to Section 5.1, Fast Ethernet Fiber

Continuity Test Procedure.

For SONET/SDH single-mode applications, refer to Section 6.1, SONET/SDH

Single-Mode Fiber Continuity Test Procedure.

• Test the power cable after installation.

For Fast Ethernet multimode applications, refer to Section 5.2, IFU Power Cable Test

Procedure.

For SONET/SDH single-mode applications, refer to Section 6.2, IFU Power Cable

Test Procedure.

NOTE: Triton Network Systems recommends the use of a surge suppressor for in-building

equipment protection.
