3.3.3 OSP Fiber Cable Installation Guidelines
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the Host
distribution panel and Remote outside plant cabinet and terminated before the
equipment is installed. A diagram of a typical OSP cable routing is shown in
Figure 3-1. At the Host, the OSP cable should be terminated at a fiber distribution
panel and spliced to fiber patch cords. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link
the Host optical ports to the OSP cable terminations. Whenever possible, a guideway
such as the FiberGuide system should be provided to protect the fiber optic patch
cords from damage and to prevent excessive bending. The procedures for connecting
the OSP cable optical fibers to the Host is provided in “Optical Connections Without
WDM System” on page 74. and “Optical Connections For Systems With a WDM” on
page 76.
