Enclosure Installation Methodology
1.0 The Opt-X SDX Splice Module is designed as a front
access device for installation and maintenance.
Leviton Opt-X 2000i (part number 5RxUH) and Opt-X
1000i (part numbers 5R1UM-S03, and 5R2UM-S06)
enclosures will allow for use with rear access by removal
of the sliding tray.
All other Opt-X SDX fiber enclosures will require the
installation of the module from the front.
NOTE: To assure optimal installation and future
expansion, requires proper planning for cable slack
and management within the module and enclosure.
2.0 Identify components of the Opt-X SDX Splice Module
kit. (See Figure 1)
1. Base – is the main component of the Splice
Module. It houses the splicing deck and covers
and is used for storage of pigtail cable and
incoming cable (either 250um or 900um).
2. Splice Deck – is where the fusion splicing and
cable routing is accomplished. It is also where the
splice chips are located.
3. Top Cover – is the protective cover for the pigtails
and splicing area. It is removed by releasing the
two (2) plunger grommets and sliding to the rear
of the Module.
4. Bottom Cover – is used to house and protect the
incoming cable. It is removed by releasing the
two (2) plunger grommets and sliding to the rear
of the Module.
5. Accessory Pack – contains 40mm heat shrink
stranded fiber splice sleeves (26 each), tie wraps
(8 each), and 250um fiber protective mesh sleeve
(36 inches).
Splice Module Preparation
3.0 Tools and supplies required for the installation and
splicing of the Leviton Opt-X SDX Splice Module will be
determined by the installer and as recommended by the
fusion splicer manufacture.
3.1 Remove the top and bottom lids by unlatching the
plunger grommets and sliding the lids rearward, and then
set aside for future use.
3.2 Remove the splice deck by lifting the front edge.
(See Figure 2) Lift out of the base and set aside.
3.3 Set the module base on a flat surface where the
splicing will be done.
3.4 Uncoil the pigtail set from the pigtail storage area. If
using a 24 fiber module, organize into 12 fiber groups
based upon splicing requirements or color-coded order.
The pigtails are organized in the adapters in compliance
with ANSI/TIA 568.3-D duplex polarity arrangement.
Unless you are altering the polarity method of the
module, do not remove the connectors from the
couplers.

3.5 Recoil two loops of slack in the top cable storage area.
Place the Splice Deck into the base. Route the pigtail
fibers as shown in Figure 3. Route the grouping through
the center of the splice chip. Mark and cut the grouping of
12 fibers at the exit point of the target splice chip as Shown
in Figure 4. Cut the fibers at the mark, de-install the pigtail
slack from the module and set aside for splicing.
3.6 Cut the trunk cable and remove at least 38" of outer
jacket.
NOTE: If using loose tube fiber either direct the central
tube to the cassette entrance point or use the provided
expansion sleeve. If sub-unitizing larger counts of tight
buffered fiber, tape each group of twelve fibers separately
and then together and install the expansion sleeve to the
module entrance tie down point.
3.7 With the bottom base facing up and the front of the
cassette facing to the right, temporarily secure the trunk
cable to the entrance point of the cassette with a provided
tie wrap (Figure 5).
3.8 Separate the trunk fibers into each 12 fiber group.
Provide one loop of slack storage for the exposed trunk
cable in the bottom cover storage area (Figure 6).
Temporarily secure the loop with a second tie wrap. Install
the bottom cover and turn the module over.
3.9 Place the splice deck in its installed position and route
the trunk fibers onto the splice deck. Route the trunk fibers
by groups and as shown in Figure 7. Mark the grouping of
12 fibers at the exit point of the target splice chip as shown
in Figure 4. Cut the fibers at the mark, de-install the trunk
cable from the module and set aside for splicing.
3.10 De-install the Splice Chips from the Splice Deck.
Splice Module Termination
4.0 Refer to the Splicer Manufacturer's instructions for
required instrument settings and functionality.
4.1 Install splice sleeves on each trunk fiber leg. Using the
measuring guide below, mark and remove 30 mm of jacket
from each fiber and perform fusion splicing for each fiber.
