Termination Plan For 1 Block Element

� 78-8135-7584-8

DSLAM termination can be achieved in two ways:

1. When running a jumper from another block: the jumper passes through the jumper ring on the top of the block and into the wire guide channel.

2. When running a jacketed cable directly from the DSLAM: the cables pass through the back mount frame first, then through the management rings and finally reach the top of the element passing through the openings in the block element mounting bracket.

4.1 Open the block element.

4.2 Pass the cable through the block back mount frame (leave a minimum of 15 inches (380 mm) of cable extending from the back mount frame).

4.3 Slide the braided cable protector up the cable.

778-8135-7584-8

4.4 Cut the cable sheath approximately 1 inch (25 mm) outside the rear of the block back mount frame, per company practice.

4.5 Slide the cable sheath down the conductors about 10 inches (250 mm).

4.6 Slide the braided cable protector into the entrance port of the back mount frame and cable tie the braided cable protector on the outside of the back mount frame.

mCAUTION

Prior to completely removing the cable sheath, organize internal binder groups, per company practice.

4.7 Remove remaining section of cable sheath from the conductors.
