6.3 OSP Fiber Cable Installation Guidelines
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the HU distribution panel
and RU outside plant cabinet and terminated before the equipment is installed. A diagram of a
typical OSP cable routing is shown in
Figure 7. At the HU, the OSP cable should be terminated
at a fiber distribution panel and spliced to pigtails. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link
the HU 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
HU is provided in
Section 6.8.
