INTRODUCTION
The ADC Indoor Fiber Splitter Box (FSB) provides Customer Premises Equipment
applications with a compact and secure enclosure for connecting fiber cables within
building environments. The FSB products utilize a rugged double-hinged design that
effectively isolates the splitter, splicing, and cable termination in the rear
compartment from the jumper interconnection in the front compartment. Separating
the splitter, cable splicing, and termination into a layered configuration provides a
space efficient and craft friendly interface unit. The layered FSB staggered
interconnection field provides ease of access to all connections.

Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of
possible hazards to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible
hazard and then explains what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The
admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions — must be
followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the triangular alert icon
(seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or damage
and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
General Safety Precautions
Caution: Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the
recommended minimum bend radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when
installing fiber optic cables and patch cords.
Danger: Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look
into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is
disconnected at the other end.
Caution: Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Do not
apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not compress the fiber or allow it to kink.
Warning: Invisible infrared radiation can seriously damage the retina of your eye. Do not look
into the launching (output) end of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be
immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical connector to avoid
exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps to prevent
contamination of connectors and adapters.
1 DESCRIPTION
These installation instructions cover ADC's FSB Wall Mount Box with splitter and
mini splice tray. The FSB configuration offers the separation of termination and
splicing functions to protect circuit integrity. The FSB is used for splicing fiber optic

ADCP-96-138 • Issue 1 • 03/2008
cables between customer-premises equipment and external network service
provider equipment. This manual includes descriptive material as well as
installation and operation procedures.
The design of the FSB wall boxes incorporates a two compartment box that
separates the network (splitter/splice area) from the customer (bulkhead adapter)
side. Cable management provisions are provided to maintain proper bend radius
and to transition fiber pigtails from the upper level to the lower level of the FSB.
This configuration allows for easy cable routing and less interference with existing
fibers when accessing only the bulkhead area. Adding additional cables can be
accomplished with minimal interference to installed fibers. A FSB is shown in
Figure 1.

FSB enclosures provide standard SC/APC connections. The FSB enclosure is for
indoor wall mount applications and are NEMA-12 rated. The dual hinged design
allows complete front and rear access. The two secure doors are locked with a
standard can wrench tool and may optionally be secured with a standard pad-lock.
The enclosures provide sealed cable ports for cables and interconnection cables and
gaskets to protect against dust and water spray.
Open outer door with a standard can wrench tool this provides access to the
adapters. Removable adapter packs are installed in a bulkhead located in the inner
door. Access to the adapters is provided on front of the hinged inner door. Opening
the inner door provides access to the network side components, which include
splitter, splice tray, and cable entry clamps.
1.1 Network Side- Cable Entry/Splice Trays
Opening inner door exposes the lower level or network side of the FSB. The lower
level contains the field installed cable breakout and clamping provisions, as well as
cable management, splitter, and splicing. Cable clamps and grommeted cable entry
ports are provided for both top and bottom cable entry. A location for a strength
member tie off bracket is provided. Sufficient space for cable breakout is provided
at the cable entry. Radius limiters and cable management provisions are provided
for proper cable routing of field installed cable to the splicing area of the FSB. Field
installed cable and fiber pigtails from the bulkhead are routed to the splitter/
splicing area. Preterminated FSB’s are shipped with the network cable routed and
terminated at the splice tray.

1.2 Customer Side-Cable Management/Bulkhead
Beneath the lockable outer door is the upper level of the FSB. Customer side has
provisions for customer cables and adapters with grommeted exit ports for
customer installed patch cords.
2 PLANNING
This procedure provides instructions for selecting an appropriate location for
mounting the FSB. It is recommended that the FSB be installed on a 3/4-inch thick
plywood panel (in accordance with local fire codes) that has been attached to the
wall. Plywood panel and the surface to which it is attached must provide substantial
support for the FSB and any other equipment. If mounting the FSB directly to
concrete, steel, or other surface, select fasteners that are able to support the
weight and withstand normal cabling and splicing activity.
Each FSB is designed to meet NEMA 12 standards (dust proof and drip proof) and
may be installed in harsh indoor or remote environments. Select a mounting
location that is consistent with the following recommendations:
1. Location must be a vertical surface with a stable backing material such as 3/4inch plywood.
2. Allow sufficient working space on the top and bottom of the FSB to provide
access for routing cables.
3. Allow sufficient working space to the right of the FSB to allow door to be fully
opened.
4. Allow 24 inches or more of working space on the front side of the FSB to
provide convenient access for installation and maintenance.
5. Allow sufficient space between the bottom of the FSB and the floor to provide
convenient access for installation and maintenance.
3 INSTALLATION
This section provides the procedures necessary for installing the FSB.
Warning: To prevent electrical shock, never install Fiber Demarcation Box in a wet location or
during a lightning storm. When installing or modifying telephone lines, disconnect lines at the
network interface before working with uninsulated lines or terminals.
1. Obtain the following tools and equipment:
•
•
•
•
•
Flat blade and Phillips screwdriver (type to match screws)
Drill and 5/32-inch drill bit
3/4-inch #10 wood screws (4)
Tape measure
Pencil
2. Using FSB as a template or the dimensions shown in Figure 3, mark the
location of the four screw holes on the mounting surface.
3. Using a 5/32-inch drill bit, drill holes at the locations marked in the previous
step.

ADCP-96-138 • Issue 1 • 03/2008
4. Insert two 3/4-inch long #10 wood screws into the top two drilled holes until
the screw heads are about 1/4-inch from the surface.
5. Set the FSB on the two screws installed in previous step. Tighten screws to
secure FSB assembly in place.
6. Insert 3/4-inch long #10 wood screws through the lower screw holes of the
FSB and into the drilled holes. Tighten screws to secure FSB.

Figure 3. Mounting Hole Locations
Note: If plywood backer board or supporting wall is not smooth or does not provide a
flat mounting plane for the cabinet add 1/4-inch flat washers between the cabinet and
the mounting surface as required to prevent cabinet from twisting or distorting when
secured to the mounting surface.
Caution: Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Do not
apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not compress the fiber or allow it to kink.
Warning: Invisible infrared radiation can seriously damage the retina of your eye. Do not look
into the launching (output) end of an active fiber. A clean, protective cap or hood MUST be
immediately placed over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or optical connector to avoid
exposure to potentially dangerous amounts of radiation. This practice also helps to prevent
contamination of connectors and adapters.
3.1 Grounding Wire Connection To Enclosure
To ground the cabinet, bring a #6AWG ground wire through a cable port. Secure
the ground wire with the ground lug hardware provided in the accessory kit to one
of the threaded inserts in the cabinet (you will need to remove the bolt and nut
placed in the insert to keep out dust). See Figure 4. (The grounding lug may be
mounted on the inside or outside of the cabinet.)
Page 6
© 2008, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
ADCP-96-138 • Issue 1 • 03/2008
Route the free end of the grounding wire to an approved earth ground source. Cut
the grounding wire to length and connect it to the earth ground source as specified
by local code or practice. Avoid sharp bends in the ground wire.
Figure 4. Grounding Lug (Inside)
3.2 Network Cable Installation
Cables may enter and exit the enclosure from a variety of openings. Cable clamp
brackets are installed in the enclosure. The cable clamp bracket is used to secure
the outside diameter of jacketed cable entering and exiting the splice shelf. Cable
ties can be used to attach the cable to the bracket.
This section describes how to route and secure buffer tube IF cable to the FSB.
Each installation will likely have specific cabling requirements that must be
addressed during the planning process. If using ribbon cable use the appropriate
grounding and break-out kits to “Break-Out” the cable.
Note: If cable has a metallic sheath, a special connector is provided with the cable
grounding kit (accessory item FIP-ACCGK) for bonding the sheath to ground. Ground
studs are provided on the cabinet.
Cables are routed into the FSB from above or below, through grommets at the left
or right side. Grommets must be slit to allow fiber cable to pass through. A cable
clamp kit can now be installed. Clamping locations are provided at the top and
bottom cable access slots. Cable should be clamped at either of these locations.
Choose method of securing cable. If lashing cable to tie down bar, the cable jacket
should be wrapped with strain relief, and it is strongly recommended that two ties
be used as retention capabilities are much stronger. The cable jacket should extend
approximately ½-inch beyond the tie down point.
Route fibers around the splice tray in the fiber management rings, Figure 5. Secure
fiber overtubes to the splice tray with strain relief and tie-wraps. Splice the
individual fibers to the appropriately labeled termination pigtails.

3.3 Customer Cabling
All preterminated FSB’s are shipped with the network cable routed and terminated
at the splice tray. Customer patch cords enter from either above or below the FSB.
Grommets must be slit to allow fiber cable to pass through.
The connectorized ends of the patch cords are terminated at the adapters mounted
in the front of the FSB. Clean connectors and adapters as specified in the Optical
Fiber Systems Cleaning and Mating Instructions (ADCP-90-159).
Caution: Verify that the far end optical transmitter is off before connecting fiber optic patch
cords to outside plant cables at the fiber distribution device. Invisible laser radiation may cause
eye injury if viewed directly. Do not look into the end of a connector or adapter if the far end
fiber optic transmitter is active.
4 OPERATION
Operation consists of routing fibers to the FSB, cleaning the adapters and mating
connectors, then mating cable connectors to the adapters.

5 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES
The indoor FSB enclosure requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous
and satisfactory operation. Maintenance is limited to repairing or replacing any
cabinet components that may be damaged or broken in the course of normal
operation. The following sections provide procedures for repairing or replacing
common cabinet components.
5.1 Bulkhead Plate Adapter Replacement
Replacement adapters are available for the bulkhead plates. Use the following
procedure to remove and replace a damaged adapter:
1. Open outer door with a standard can wrench tool this provides access to the
adapters.
2. Loosen the bulkhead plate assembly by pulling on the retaining plungers at the
end of the plate assembly.
3. Disconnect the customer connection from the front side of the broken adapter
and install a dust cap on the connector.
4. Disconnect the splitter connector from the back side of the broken adapter as
shown in Figure 6 and install a dust cap on the connector.
Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Caution: Use extreme care when removing a connector or an adapter from the bulkhead plate
to avoid macro bending the adjacent fibers.
5. Working from the rear side of the bulkhead plate, use the SC adapter removal tool
(catalog # FCC-ACC003) to depress the two metal tabs that retain the adapter in
the plate. Then push forward on the adapter until it pops out of the plate.
6. Discard the damaged adapter.
7. Install the replacement adapter by inserting it into the bulkhead plate from the
front and then pushing it toward the back until it snaps into place.
Note: Make sure the keyway in the replacement adapter is facing in the same direction
as the keyways in the rest of the adapters installed in the bulkhead plate.

5.2 Splitter Removal
A replacement splitter is available for the enclosure. Use the following procedure to
remove a damaged splitter:
1. Open network door with a standard can wrench tool this provides access to the
splitter.
Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
2. Unplug splitter output fiber connectors from the adapters. Insert dust a cap in
each adapter. Record connector locations.
3. Remove O-ring that secures splitter to the tray.
4. Turn the thumb screw on the bottom of the splitter adapter assembly clockwise
