Cable Fanout in 2178 Fiber
Optic Splice Case
Tech Brief
For further assistance contact 3M Technical Service at 1-800-426-8688.
Cable Fanout Units are used to pr otect and organize the fibers in the fiber
optic closure at the point where the buffer tube is cut. Cable fanouts ar e
usually r equired for cable with a single large loose buffer.
The placement of the fanout unit in the 2178 Fiber Optic Splice Case should be
as close to the end of the cable sheath as possible. Position the fanout unit in
the base of the closur e, between the entry port and the splice tray support, to
allow the maximum space for r outing the buffer tubes and maintaining the
required bend radius.
