Hybrid Jumper

• In general this cable will handle similarly to a 1/2” coaxial cable.

• The terminated fiber ends however are fragile and must be protected during installation. Leave the packaging

around the fiber ends in place until ready to connect the jumper between OVP box and RRU or BBU.

• DO NOT BEND THE FIBER ENDS (in the furcation tubes) TIGHTER THAN 1.2" (30mm) BEND RADIUS ELSE THERE

IS A RISK OF BREAKING THE GLASS FIBERS.

• Attach the main cable securely to the structure or equipment using hangers and/or cable ties to prevent

strain on connections from movement in wind or snow/ice conditions.

• Ensure the LC fiber connectors are seated firmly in the OVP box, RRU or in BBU equipment.

• Ensure the weatherproof boots for both fiber and power connections and seated firmly in the RRU.

• Heat shrink tube of the jumper should be 1" (25.40mm) inside of the OVP box.

• Installation temperature range is -22F to 158F (-30C to 70C).

• Minimum cable bend radii can be found in this document or on-line.

• Standard lengths available are 3-6-15 foot for top tails and 3-6-15-20 foot for bottom tails.

• All jumpers are individually serialized, for immediate access to test results visit www.commscope.com/webtrak/

• Power connector is supplied with the RRU

• Blue or Red power conductor is 48V

• Black power conductor is 0V

• In general this cable will handle similarly to 7/8” coaxial cable, and similar installation techniques apply. All cables

are individually serialized, be sure to write down the cable serial number for future reference.

• The terminated fiber ends (the broken out fibers plus connectors) however are fragile, and these must be

protected during the installation process.

• Leave the protective tube and sock around the fiber tails and connectors in place during hoisting and

securing the cable. Remove this only just prior to making the final connections to the Junction box.

• DO NOT BEND THE FIBER ENDS (in the furcation tubes) TIGHTER THAN 1.2" (30mm) BEND RADIUS ELSE THERE

IS A RISK OF BREAKING THE GLASS FIBERS.

• Be sure that the lace up ends and fiber connectors are not damaged by attachment of a hoisting grip or

during the hoisting process. Attach a hoisting grip on the jacketed cable no less than 6" below the fiber breakout

point. If a hoisting grip is not easily attached, use a simple line attached below the fiber break-out point (i.e. at

the cable outer jacket). Prevent the fiber tails (in protective tube) at the cable end from undue movement during

hoisting by securing the protective tube (with outer sock) to the hoisting line.

• During hoisting ensure that there is a free path and that the cable, and especially the fiber ends, will not be

snagged on tower members or other obstacles.

• Installation temperature range is -22F to 158F

(-30C to +70C).

• Minimum cable bend radii can be found in this

document or on-line.

• Maximum cable tensile load can be found in this

document or on-line.

• CommScope Lace-Up Hoisting Grip 19256B-C

required for all installations.

• Maximum hanger spacing 3ft (0.9m) - 4ft (1.2m)

Hybrid Fiber Cables weigh more than traditional

coaxial cables. Be sure to follow proper hoisting

and attachment procedures.

LC Connectors and Adapter cleaning

Clean exposed connector ferrule by lightly moistening lint-free wipe with ber optic cleaning solution (or >91%

isopropyl alcohol), and by applying medium pressure, rst wipe against wet area and then onto dry area to clean

potential residue from end face. Clean connector ferrule inside adapter by inserting lightly moistened cleaning stick

with ber optic cleaning solution (or >91% isopropyl alcohol) inside the adapter until contact is made with connector on

opposite end. Rotate cleaning stick with medium pressure in one circular motion as it is pulled away from the adapter.

Repeat process using dry cleaning stick.

Caution: Signal strength will be affected if end and sides of ferrule are not thoroughly cleaned. Discard cleaning

sticks after each use. Do not turn cleaning sticks back and forth pressing against connector end face. This may cause

scratches if large contamination is present. Always inspect connector end face for contamination after each cleaning.

Clean adapter by inserting adapter cleaning stick (or fiber adapter sleeve brush) moistened with fiber optic cleaning

solution (or >91% isopropyl alcohol) inside the adapter and gently pull out with twisting motion. Repeat process with a

dry cleaning stick.

Caution: Do not try to clean adapter with a standard pipe cleaner. The sleeve inner diameter of LC adapters is too

small. Do not try to clean the adapter with cleaning stick if a connector is mounted in one side. Discard cleaning sticks

after each use.

Breakout Procedure

Remove electrical tape

from the trunk cable and

corrugated protection

tube

While holding the protection tube straight

pull the tube away from cable.

After you have pulled the ber and power conductors into

the OVP box remove electrical tape from the trunk cable

and remove clear tube for access to all optical connectors.

After the trunk cable has been installed and

you are ready to make the nal connection

to the OVP box follow these steps for the

removal of ber protection tube.

Device designed for cleaning the ferrule end faces of LC connectors

Open guide cap, insert LC connector into guide, push the outer shell to start cleaning the LC connector interface, a

"click" sound indicates end of a cleaning process, repeat, close cap immediately after use.

Caution: Be careful not to slant LC connector while inserting into the Guide cap. Do not overly exert force during

insertion as this may cause damage to both the connector and the cleaner.

There are 3 basic principles that are critical to achieving an efficient fiber optic connection:

1. Perfect Core Alignment

2. Physical Contact

3. Pristine Connector Interface

Today’s connector design and production techniques have eliminated most of the challenges to achieving

core alignment and physical contact. What remains challenging is maintaining a pristine end-face. As a result,

CONTAMINATION is the #1 reason for troubleshooting optical networks.

Implementing the process of cleaning and inspecting before mating can reduce the time spent troubleshooting,

optimize signal performance and prevent damage.

Clean?

Abrasive particles (i.e. rock dust) can

cause permanent damage to the

interface. If interface is scratched it cannot

be repaired, it would need to be replaced.
