Ideal for any small count fiber scenario, the FieldSmart Small Count

Delivery (SCD) Wall Box accepts up to two Clearview

Cassettes,

providing up to 24 fibers in a discrete footprint, or a single Clearview

xPAK of 6 fibers in the smaller wall box, without sacrificing fiber

management. The lockable, NEMA 4 rated enclosure is compact,

making it ideal for a variety of applications, including harsh

environment locations surrounding fiber demarcation, entrance

facilities, FTTP drop boxes and cell backhaul. Additional applications

include MDU, business class services, power and wind farms and

DOT/Traffic monitoring.

As a lower cost alternative to sheet-metal designs, this plastic, lockable,

NEMA 4 rated enclosure is consistent with Clearfield’s long-standing

reputation of delivering simple solutions for complex problems. Optimized for use with the

Clearview xPAK and Cassette, the FieldSmart Small Count Delivery Wall Box is ideal for any small count fiber scenarios

where a discrete footprint without sacrificing fiber management is required. Standardizing on a craft-friendly, building block

architecture reduces the operating costs of fiber deployment by reducing installation times and inventory carrying

requirements.

Wall box Installation

Unpack the wall box from shipping container and make sure to check for small items that may be included. These would be

bagged separately and included in the shipping container.

The wall box is installed via the 2 slots located in the top and bottom of the enclosure. Hold the panel up to the mounting

surface and mark the hole locations with a marker.

Note:

A level may be used to ensure that the panel is mounted straight.

Pilot holes can then be drilled at each mark. Using appropriate fasteners for the material, attach the panel to the surface.

Installing Sealcons

Identify the location of the sealcon – on both size boxes, the sealcon locations have been pre-marked on the inside of

the box for easy identification. There are two sealcon locations for each box.

Use a 1” drill bit (step drill is preferred tool); drill out the plastic area enough so that the water tight strain relief fitting will

fit through the hole

(Figure 1)

Install the sealcon through the hole, with the threads on the inside of this box.

If optional strength clamps are used, install them onto the strain relief threads before installing nut to tighten

(Figure 3)

Install the nut onto the threads and tighten securely until the fitting will not rotate

(Figure 2)

Insert cable through sealcon and tighten dome nut to compress rubber sealing grommet.

Installing Cassettes in FDP-XWB5

The FDP-XWB5 is a 5.5 inch deep version of the XWB2. Utilizing the metal plate inside the box, up to 4 Clearview Blue

Cassettes can be installed, and buffer tube slack can be routed around the outside of the radius limiters on the plate.

The wall box will arrive as shown,

with the plate installed in the box.

Twist the threaded rods into the two lower pems on the sides of

the plate. These rods will be included as a ship-along item.

Insert the threaded rods through the holes in

the sides of the cassettes. Slide the

cassettes down until they make contact with

the plate.

Use the provided thumb nuts to secure the

cassettes in place by threading them down

the rods and hand tightening.

Inspect Then Connect

These are Clearfield recommended products/applications. Use the product

you feel will complete your cleaning procedures. Create a “best practice” for

your company and follow those procedures.

The use of Chemtronics end face and bulkhead cleaning products and

techniques ensures a clean end face, no matter the type of contamination.

Before cleaning any connector, be sure you know what type of contaminate

you are cleaning (dry, fluidic, or combination). All the available products are

good, it’s the process that you need to be aware of. Using a dry cleaning

method to clean “dirt” can lead to scratching of the end face. Learn the

process of cleaning properly.

Note:

It is

NOT

recommended to use isopropyl alcohol to clean the end face.

Cleaning an SC/LC Connector

Cleaning the End Face

• Place one wiping paper on QbE-2 FiberSafe™ Cleaning Platen.

(

Figure 1)

• Apply small amount of precision cleaner (about 1” in diameter) with

Electro-Wash MX pen on to one end of the wipe. (

Figure 2)

•

Hold end face at a 90 degree angle. For APC connection, adjust by

slightly tilting the container or end face. Angle is correct when no drag is

felt on the end face. (

Figure 3)

•

Draw end face from wet to dry part of the wipe 3 times. Use just enough

pressure to ensure complete contact between end face and the wipe.

Note: DO NOT

retrace previous step.

Connector Cleaning Procedure

Whether factory terminated or field spliced, clean connectors are essential for proper system operation. Even the smallest

dust particle can cause transmission problems, so for optimal network performance inspect, and if necessary, clean

connectors and adapters prior to mating.

Lightly moisten the fiber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)

by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or

Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the swab, 1 side down to the

wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5. (

Cleaning the Mate Through an Adapter AND the Adapter Itself

•

Lightly moisten the fiber optic swab (2.5mm/38542F or 1.25mm/38040)

by spotting a small amount (about 1”) of Electro-Wash PX or

Electro-Wash MX pen onto the QbE. Hold the tip of the swab onto the

wetted area and hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5.

• Insert the swab into the adapter to the connector, press lightly against

the connector, twist 2-3 times, remove and discard.

• Dry with a second dry swab.

• Inspect, repeat cleaning if necessary, and test for signal strength.

• Use additional swabs to clean inside the actual adapter. Moisten

swab, like above, and insert through hole and remove while twisting.

(

Figure 6)

• Insert swab into side of ferrule, wet side to the ceramic ferrule and

circle around 2-3 times and remove. Turn swab to dry side and repeat.
