Material 16 gauge cold rolled steel with almond powder coating
The FieldSmart Fiber Entrance Cabinet (FEC) provides
off-frame splicing for the central ofce, headend or remote
hut. Fiber Entrance Cabinets are typically placed in the ber
entrance room and used to transition OSP ber sheaths to
IFC cabling
The FieldSmart FEC is built on a modular platform, scaling
288 heat shrink fusion (HSF) or 864 mass fusion (ribbon)
ber splices at a time. Multiple entry/exit points allow for
multiple distribution and OSP ber sheaths to enter into the FEC from top, bottom, or sidewalls and transition from conduit,
overhead ber tray, or raised ooring. A removable splice block, holding twelve 24-ber splice trays, gives the user the
ability to prep away from the cabinet. Intuitive buffer tube and sub-unit slack routing prevents cable tie-in with a clockwise
routing scheme to allow quick and easy re-entry after initial deployment or to add additional capacity. If vertical real estate is
available, the FEC can be ganged together, in modular fashion, allowing scalability up to 864-ber splices and beyond.
Each cable entrance plate will support cable diameters up to one inch. Lockable cupboard style doors allow for easy access
with minimal swing clearance needed for tight aisle clearances.

The FieldSmart FEC is built on a modular platform scaling 288 ber splices at a time. Lockable cupboard style doors allow
for easy access with minimal swing clearance required for tight aisle clearances. The ber entrance cabinet comes with a
clamp kit.
Note: The FEC does NOT come with hardware to mount to the wall. Depending on the type or style of the wall the end user
should obtain the appropriate hardware from their local hardware store. There are four (4) mounting holes. The mounting
holes are .350” in diameter. The FEC Cabinet is 17.5” high x 34.5” wide and 8.25” deep.
FEC Overview
The parts below are shipped along with the FEC. The parts include the clamp kit and the plates to cover the numerous
cable entry/exit points. Splice trays sold separately.

Once the FEC is mounted to the wall, you are now ready to route ber into the cabinet.
Multiple entry/exit points allow for multiple distribution and OSP ber sheaths to enter the FEC from the top, bottom, or
sidewalls, transitioning from conduit, overhead ber tray or raised ooring. Cable entry/exit points are located around the
perimeter of the cabinet. See pictures below.
Note: Each cable entrance plate will support cable diameters up to 1 inch.
The cabinet comes with 4 sheet metal brackets for cable mounting and 16 blank plastic plates. The cables can be installed
with either the clamps on the outside of the cabinet or with the clamps on the inside of the cabinet for extra security. Plugs
are also included in the kit to ll the unused holes.
Choose the appropriate sized cable clamp for the cable entering the FEC. Always use a clamp large enough to close
around the cable, and utililze grommet tape to make up for the size difference by laying a small strip of grommet tape inside
the cable clamp shell. DO NOT use a clamp that “pinches” the cable.
Note: Grommet tape included in the kit may be used to build up the cable size to get a better grip with the provided clamps.
A removable splice block, holding twelve 24-ber splice trays, allows the user to prep away from the cabinet.
Note: Splice trays are sold separately (P/N 019339).

Intuitive buffer tube and subunit slack routing prevents cable tie-in’s, utilizing a clockwise routing scheme to allow quick and
easy re-entry after initial deployment or to add additional capacity.
If the cables are to be carried from one cabinet into the
next, then the blank plates and bracket plates will not
need to be used between the two cabinets. There is a
removable bracket on the top and bottom entrances
that will allow you to lay cables in without having to cut
them.
After choosing the entrance that will be used for your cables you will need to plan your cable route within the cabinet. All
cables should eventually route in a clockwise direction. Depending on where you enter the box you may have to use the
redirect spool in order to achieve a clockwise rotation.

After all cables are routed in the correct direction and there is an adequate
amount of slack in the cabinet, the cable tie down locations can be marked with a
permanent marker.
Splice trays (P/N 019339) will be shipped with 2 standard splice chips and 2
ribbon splice chips, allowing for a total of 24 loose tube splices or 6 ribbon mass
fusion splices (72 bers). Splice chips will need to be bent into place in the empty
slots in the center of the splice tray.
Note: Each standard splice chip features 6x2 splice sleeve slots, allowing for
12 splice sleeves to be stacked 2 high in the 6 slots. Each ribbon splice chip
features 3 ribbons splice sleeve slots, as well as one 2 high loose tube splice
sleeve slot for use in special applications or repairs.

An example of a splice tray utilizing the splice
chips to secure 24 loose tube splice sleeves is
shown here.
Wrap a layer of grommet tape around the buffer
tubes and secure into place in the splice tray
using the tie-down holes and cable ties.
Provided with the splice tray are 3 ribbon tie-downs which utilize a split grommet and retention cover which will allow the
ribbon to be secured into the tray even in mid-span/ring cut applications.
Slip the split rubber grommet onto the ribbon, followed by the plastic retention cover over the opposite side.
Note: Extra ribbon tie-downs are available in a kit, which can be ordered separately (P/N 019501).
After protecting the ribbon ber with the ribbon
tie-down, secure it into the tray.
The splice tray features tie-down holes on each
side of the tray, which will allow for 5 ribbon tie-
downs per side, as well as one ribbon tie down on
each side in the additional holding location.
