When placing an optical fiber cable in the horizontal optical fiber cabling subsystem, what is the MAXIMUM number of splices that can be used?
When placing an optical fiber cable in the horizontal optical fiber cabling subsystem, what is the MAXIMUM number of splices that can be used?
In the horizontal optical fiber cabling subsystem, the maximum number of splices allowed is 2. This limitation ensures minimal signal loss and maintains the integrity of the optical fiber's transmission quality.
The correct answer if 2, but in pg 5-16 it states: additional two splices would be allowed if pigtail splicing connectors are located at a CP
TDMM page 5-17 In general, splicing is not permitted within the horizontal cabling system. The only permitted exception is with the use of optical fiber cabling when joining the optical fiber cabling to single-ended cords (i.e. pigtails) to accomplish connection to connecting hardware in the HC and telecommunication outlet/connector. When used in this manner, there shall be no more than two splices in the individual cabling channel.
