1 Introduction

The ACE TCB-O (Tower Connection Box - Open Access) is

a robust metal wallbox and is used for the broadband

network build up in multi dwelling units and huge real estate

facilties. The compact box with dimension: H= 80 x W 43 x

D 22,5 cm allows the installation in areas with limited space.

The box is available in different versions, like fully equipped

version, as well as an empty box and it can be individually

customized configured using the ACE-Code configurator

tool.

This box is designed so that all apartments of a building are

connected to the wall box and the fiber connection is made

via pre-assembled splitters (PON). The first-supplying

network operator can connect the subscriber in the main

unit of the box by means of a splice connection.

The open access option for accessing a 2nd operator is

made without access to the connection area of the first

supplier or owner, via the permanently integrated lateral

patch box by direct connection with patch cable.

2.2 Basic pre-assembled setup

Above the routing block, the splice trays for splicing

the splitter input fibers from the splitter trays are mounted.

The input fibers are routed accordingly.

From the splitter tray, the output fibers are fed to the sub-

scriber splice tray above them. Above this are the patch

trays with the LC/APC duplex adapter . In the tray, 4

pigtails are terminated on the input side of the adapter

and the fiber is stored in the tray for splicing on to the cables

coming from the subscriber (4 fibers).

The output patch port 3 + 4 is connected by the patch

cables to the adapter in the patchfield box for open

access functionality. These patch cables are accordingly

protected routed/pre-installed within the base and is

parked at the parking panel for terminating a second

operator.

At the output port 1 + 2, the two pigtails for the service

activation with the operator are routed to the corresponding

subscriber tray . The red pigtail is planned to connect e.g.

the TV signal and gets spliced to the corresponding fiber of

the splitter output in the tray. The green pigtail for the IT

service gets in the subscriber tray directly spliced to the

corresponding fiber of the operator.

representation of the figure)

3 Installation of the TCB-O

3.1 Preparation

Before installing the TCB distribution box on the wall, please

mark the recommended minimum space requirement of

approx. 1,200 x 550mm (H x W). The distance to the ceiling

should not be less than 200mm if possible to provide safe

access to the screwing of the Entry box cover.

The left starting position of the distribution box depends on

the cable routing from the ceiling, or from the side so that

these can be inserted into the entry box on the left side,

taking into account the minimum bend radius.

If cables from the subscriber or the operator are already in

place for later termination in the distribution box, ensure that

they have sufficient space for safe installation.

3.2 Installation

Take the keys for the locks at the cover and unlock the

locks. Remove the cover and set it aside.

Loosen the two screws on the cover of the entry box only

until you can remove the cover. Also place the cover to the

side and tighten the screws slightly so that they are not lost.

Unlock the cover of the patchfield box with the key and open

the hinged cover.

To open the pivotable tray holder, you must unlock the bolt

at the top.

3.2.1 Wall mounting

Note: Check in advance whether cables are laid in the

mounting area.

Align the TCB at the wall and observe the required working

space. Mark the mounting positions. Below you will find the

corresponding dimensions for the drilling pattern.

Drill the appropriate holes into the wall, insert the plugs and

screw the distribution box to the wall without distortion with

the screws. Coarse unevenness must be compensated

accordingly if necessary.

After the wall installation is complete, you can close the

cover of the patchfield box again, as this access is not

required for further installation.

4 Assembly Splice Tray Holder

4.1 TCB-O variant fully equipped

If this Tower Connection Box is present, are all trays, like

the splice tray, splitter tray and patch tray assembled in the

factory.

In this case you can skip this chapter and continue directly

at chapter 5.

4.2 TCB empty or only partially assembled

Additional splice tray blocks with SC or SE trays, splitter

trays or patch trays must be ordered separately from the

accessories, according to configuration.

4.2.1 Splice tray assembly

Insert the first Splice tray block direct at the

routing block of the pre-assembled Splice Tray Holder or

depending on the configuration on top of other blocks.

Additional splice tray blocks need to be mounted

accordingly.

4.2.2 Splitter tray assembly

One splitter tray requires the space of two splice trays.

Insert the Splitter tray(s) into the holder at the

appropriate position.

If required because of the tray layout, remove first 2 splice

trays from the splice tray block, and insert the splitter tray at

that space. In case more than one splitter tray is required,

remove additional trays.

4.2.3 Patch tray assembly

The patch tray unit contains the tray holder loaded with 3

patch trays (no adapters loaded)

Insert the tray holder with the 3 SE patch trays, according

the tray layout plan in the pre-assembled Splice Tray

Holder. In case more than one tray holder for additional

patch trays is required, it must be installed directly after the

first tray holder

5 Cable routing and installation

5.1 Cable feed from the operator

The C-rails allows the use of ACE Tube clips for fixation of

cable protection tubes or cable. It is recommended to use

them.

Note: Tube clips are not included in the shipment, they

must be separate ordered as accessory item.

For example click the Tube clips into the profile rails. Take

the accessories kit from the shipment and seal at both ends

with the 4 round foam the rails.

The feeder cable of the operator (e.g. 48 fibers in 4 buffer

tubes) is inserted at the top position in the tube clip at the

rails and routed through the foam sealing via the upper

radius limiter into the base to the lateral cable clamp.

Select the center of the strain relief positions on the cable

sheath. Likewise, mark as well the stripping position of the

cable sheath approx. 2cm below the clamp position of the

cable tie wrap.

Foam adhesive tape is applied to the center markings of the

strain relief around the cable sheath.

Remove the cable sheath, in accordance to instruction of

the cable manufacturer over a length of approx. 4m. Then

fix the cable with cable ties at the clamp and fix, if applicable

the central cable strength member at the intended position

at the clamping plates.

Combine the individual loose tubes into one strand.

Route the loose tubes to the back of the splice tray holder

in a bow as shown in the figure. Route them through the

cable clips as shown and make a complete loop, this

ensures the correct routing and storage of required slack.

By a additional loop, a corresponding extra length can be

added.

Then pass the remaining loose tube length of approx. 1.8m

through the cut out onto the front of the splice tray holder.

Move the splice tray holder back to the starting position.

Remove the routing block's cover and then route the loose

tubes into the tube holder.

www.ace-fibreoptic.com Technische Änderungen vorbehalten | Aus diesen Informationen können keine Rechte abgeleitet werden

Match the loose tubes on the tube holder and mark the

tubes appx. 10mm above the tube holder.

Strip the loose tubes and clean the fibers in accordance to

the cable manufacturer instructions.

Route the loose tubes and fibers back to the routing block.

Snap the loose tubes from the front into the tube holder. The

rear clamp is always used first.

The fibers of the operator's feeder cable are fed to the left or

right guide channel at the tray holder via the mixer.

Route the fiber via the guide channel into the grooves of the

tray block into the appropriate splice tray.
