Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.
Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when moving or installing Fiber Distribution Terminal
cabinets. Verify that the maximum lift weight rating of the equipment is sufficient to handle the
weight of the cabinet.
Danger: Do not stand under a Fiber Distribution Terminal cabinet as it is being hoisted into
position for mounting. A failure of the lifting equipment or apparatus could result in serious
personal injury.
Warning: Before digging, check with all local utilities for the presence of buried cables or
pipes. Contact with underground cables or pipes, especially electric power cables and gas
service lines, could interrupt local utility service and cause serious personal injury and
extensive property damage.

storage space under the cabinet for OSP cable slack. The FMS may also be used as a
splicing vault for the OSP feeder and distribution cables.
• Poured Concrete Pad–Concrete slab with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF
provides a stainless-steel frame for mounting the cabinet. The PMF ensures that the
cabinet will be securely anchored to the concrete slab.
Mounting the Cabinet–After the support base is installed, the cabinet is secured to the support
base.
Feeder and Distribution Cable Installation–The cabinet OSP feeder and distribution cables
are routed into the cabinet and spliced.

placing the FMS in position. An unexpected shift of the FMS could result in personal injury.
Use the following procedures to place the FMS into the excavation.
1. Fill the bottom of the hole with stone aggregate, tamping it as it is filled to build a 12 inch
(30.5 cm) layer with a level surface. The stone aggregate will provide a stable base to
support the FMS.

ADCP-96-015 • Issue 1 • July 2004
Note: Use crushed rock 3/8-inch or less in size mixed with stone dust (per local practice)
to fill the hole. The name of the material may differ in different geographical areas.
Possible names are Class 5, stone dust, aughts (0s) and ones (1s), or stone aggregate
2. Use appropriate lifting equipment to place the FMS into the center of the hole. Lifting
loops are provided on either side of the FMS for attaching a sling or chain.
3. Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove
fill for leveling, tamp any added fill to maintain the base stability.
3.4 Cable Conduit Installation
Select the conduit entrance hole(s) for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. Refer to Figure 4
for the location of the holes. If necessary, additional conduit entrance holes may be cut using a
power drill and hole saw. Place and route the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the
FMS may be installed without conduit. OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point that
is convenient. Cut the cable entrance hole to match the size of the cable.
3.5 Grounding System Installation
Install a grounding system (not provided) that meets all local electrical codes. Check local codes
for grounding system installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding
requirements. Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the
grounding system inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit or cables. Connect
the grounding wire to the grounding system. Leave sufficient slack in the grounding wire to
allow it to be routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is mounted on the sleeve.
3.6 Back Fill
If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the conduit to avoid damage from the
power tamper. Complete the back fill as follows:
1. Add stone aggregate evenly around the FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches
(15.2 cm) from the top of the excavation.
2. Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending on the landscaping
requirements. The top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches
3.7 Mounting the Cabinet on the FMS-20000
The following sections provide instructions for mounting the ACE-142S/142V cabinet on the
FMS-20000. With the ACE-142S cabinet, the distribution cables must be installed after the
cabinet is mounted. With the ACE-142V cabinet, the distribution cables are pre-installed in the

5.3 Feeder Cable Installation
The OSP feeder cable enters/exits the ACE-142S/142V cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/
exit point to the cabinet, the feeder cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond the clamp, the outer
sheath of the cable is removed to expose the optical fibers. The feeder cable is typically a 12- to
24-fiber cable with stranded or ribbon type fiber construction. Moisture blocking and/or
grounding kits should be installed (as required by local practice) to protect the exposed optical
fibers. From the clamping point, the optical fibers are routed to splice trays for splicing to the
splitter input fibers.
Note: If additional splitter modules will be installed in the cabinet as part of the initial
installation, complete splitter installation before proceeding with feeder cable installation.
Use the following procedure to install the feeder cable:
1. Route the OSP feeder cable into the cabinet from the bottom. If the cabinet is mounted on
a concrete pad, use the duct on the right side.
2. Pull the cable up through the cabinet and strip off 156 inches (396 cm) of the outside cable
sheath to expose the fiber subunits.
3. Install moisture-blocking and/or grounding kits as required by local practice. Follow the
installation instructions provided with each kit.

11. From the center panel, route the fiber subunit to the splice wheel used for the splitter
module input fibers following the same path as the splitter module input fibers.
12. Repeat steps 1–11 for each feeder cable subunit and each additional feeder cable.
5.4 Feeder Cable and Splitter Input Fiber Splicing
The OSP feeder cable fibers must be spliced to the splitter input fibers. Up to twelve splitter
modules may be mounted in the cabinet so that a maximum of twelve feeder splices may be
required. Round splice trays are used for splicing and seven splice tray mounting slots are
provided. Each splice tray can hold up to 12 splices. Use the following procedure to install the
feeder cable fibers and splitter input fibers in each splice tray in preparation for splicing:
1. The input fibers from each splitter are routed to a splice tray located on the top left side of
the cabinet. Locate the splice tray that was used for the splitter input fibers and remove
that tray from the cabinet.
2. Uncoil the splitter input fibers from the splice tray.
Note: The splitter input fibers are temporarily coiled around the splice tray for storage.
3. Secure the splitter input fibers and the feeder cable fiber subunit together at the point
as necessary to prevent binding.
4. Check the routing of the splitter input fibers and adjust as needed to relieve tension or
remove excess slack.

6 DISTRIBUTION CABLE INSTALLATION AND SPLICING
This section describes how to install the OSP distribution cables in the ACE-142S/142V cabinet
and how to use the distribution cable splice trays. If the cabinet is equipped with pre-installed
6.1 Distribution Cable Installation
The OSP distribution cables enter the ACE-142S/142V cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/
exit point to the cabinet, each distribution cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond the clamp, the
outer sheath of the cable is removed to expose the optical fibers. Moisture blocking, grounding,
and fanout kits must be installed (as required by local practice) to protect the exposed optical
fibers. The OSP distribution cable fiber count may be any multiple of 72 (depending on the
number of connector panels) with stranded or ribbon type fiber construction. From the clamping
point, the optical fibers are routed to the splice trays for splicing to the connector panel pigtails.
Use the following procedure to install the distribution cable:
1. Route the OSP distribution cable into the cabinet from the bottom. If the cabinet is
mounted on a concrete pad, use the duct on the left side.
2. Pull the cable up through the cabinet and strip off 156 inches (396 cm) of the outside cable
sheath to expose the fiber subunits.
3. Install moisture-blocking, fanout, and grounding kits as required by local practice. Follow
the installation instructions provided with each kit.
Caution: A fanout kit is required when installing ribbon cable. The fanout kit includes plastic
tubes that protect the fiber ribbons and prevent damage.
4. Nine cable clamping positions are provided near the center of the cabinet as shown in
Figure 20. Select one of the clamping positions as the attachment point for the cable.
Note: Use the middle cable clamp positions first and the top clamp positions second when
installing the distribution cables. The bottom clamp positions are extra. The bracket for the
top row of clamps may be removed if necessary to facilitate cable installation.

8 PRE-INSTALLED DISTRIBUTION CABLE CONFIGURATION
ACE-142V cabinets are equipped with pre-installed distribution cables that enter/exit the
cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/exit points, each cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond
the clamp, the outer sheath of each cable is removed and the fibers are broken out into subunits.
Each subunit is fanned out into twelve individual fibers and each fiber is terminated with a
connector. The fiber subunits are routed to the connector panels where each fiber is connected to
a bulkhead adapter.
Each connector panel can accommodate six 12-fiber subunits which equals 72 fiber ports per
panel. Each distribution cable typically has a fiber count that is a multiple of 72 to correspond
with the number of ports provided by each connector panel. Depending on the option ordered,
cabinets may be equipped with up to nine distribution cables. A drawing is provided with each
ACE-142V cabinet that indicates the connector panel and optical port assignments for the fibers
within each distribution cable. Refer to this drawing when splicing to determine the terminating
port for each fiber within each cable. A diagram of a typical distribution cable configuration is

11 ROUTING AND CONNECTING THE SPLITTER OUTPUT FIBERS
The splitter modules are mounted at the top of the ACE-142S/142V cabinet. When a splitter
module is installed, the output fibers are routed to the storage panel located at the bottom of the
cabinet. The output fibers are temporarily “parked” in the storage panel until they are needed to
provide service. Service to a subscriber is enabled by removing an unused output fiber from the
storage panel and routing it to the appropriate connector panel for connection to the subscriber
port.
11.1 Storing The Splitter Output Fibers
Use the following procedure to store the splitter output fibers.
1. Following installation of a splitter, route each splitter output fiber over the top spool on the
2. Locate an unused storage port on the storage panel.
3. Hold the output fiber connector near the storage port adapter.
