CONSTRUCTION METHOD: POLE-MOUNT LCP & NAP

Loop for Future NAP

w/ Cable Tie

Future NAP
Position

 AML (Actual Measured Loss) of the Feeder lines from CO must be secured first prior to actual build
 LCP and NAP pole-mount closure positions are fixed and installed facing road side
 Provide 30m maintenance loop on feeder side, NO loop on succeeding LCPs and NAPs
 Maintenance loop should be placed on PLDT poles only, NEVER on Meralco poles
 For future or expansion NAPs, PROVIDE 5m loop at the identified locations where they will be installed
 REMOVE messenger wire of expansion loop
 PLACE expansion loop on the side of the future NAP facing the central office; same for future LCPs
 SECURE the expansion loop with 3 cable ties and electrical tape, separated 120° apart

LCP / NAP

Cable Tie
 INSTALL LCP and NAP 1 to 2 feet below center bolt of C1 pole clamp; DO NOT install on
poles with transformer C1
 MINIMUM clearance between LCP/NAP to ground is 12 ft
 For NAPs:
 INSTALL two (2) bridle rings on both sides and one (1) at the bottom 1’ - 2’ Guy Grip
 PLACE the bottom bridle ring 5” to 6” directly under the drop cable ports
 ROUTE the 24F Figure 8 FOC opposite the drop cable ports side of the NAP going
to the main cable ports. C2
 DO NOT route on the same side where the drop cables are, so as not to
disturb the drops.
 NO bridle rings required at LCP positions Bridle Ring
Drop
 DO NOT route the 24F Figure 8 FOC through the bridle ring

 Bridle rings are DEDICATED for drop cable use only
 USE cable tie for added support
 To 24F Figure 8 FOC on the guy grip
 To secure the stub cable to the pole
 Once cable ties are installed, cut any excess 24F Figure 8

DOUBLE NAP (2-SPLITTERS / NAP)
 For Greenfield Areas
 NO double NAP allowed
 With no RTA issue
 If Eng’g design requires > 8 NAP ports, USE 2 NAPs (1 splitter /
NAP), INSTALLED side-by-side on the pole facing road side. ≥ 12ft

 If with limited space or with constraints on the pole to

accommodate 2 NAPs, USE adjacent poles (1 NAP/pole).
≥ 12ft

 With RTA issue

 If Eng’g design requires > 8 NAP ports, USE 2 NAPs (1 splitter /
NAP), INSTALLED on adjacent poles (1 NAP / pole) facing road ≥ 12ft
