3.3 Connecting Drop Cable to Mini-OTE Optical Port
Use the following procedure to connect a drop cable to an optical port on the Mini-OTE enclosure:
1.
Unscrew the dust cap from the drop cable connector (see
).
2.
Inspect the drop cable connector O-rings for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant (MST-ACC-
LUBE1) to each O-ring if dry. See
3.
Use the 216B key tool (accessory) to unscrew the dust cap (see
) from the Mini-OTE
optical port.
4.
Clean both the optical port adapter and the drop cable connector (requires accessory kit FHD-
ACC-CLNKIT1) as specified in ADCP-96-067.
5.
Align the drop cable connector with the optical port as shown in
. The pointer on the drop
cable connector should line up with the notch on the optical port.
6.
Insert the drop cable connector into the optical port. If the drop cable connector does not insert all
the way to the bottom of the port, rotate drop cable connector slightly to either side until it slides
freely into place.
7.
Thread the drop cable connector coupling nut into the optical port and tighten coupling nut until
finger tight.
8.
Inspect the optical port dust cap O-ring (see
) for dryness and apply O-ring
lubricant to the O-ring if dry (MST-ACC-LUBE1). For the procedure, refer to
9.
Thread the optical port dust cap into the drop cable dust cap as shown in
and then
tighten both dust caps finger tight. This ensures that both dust caps will stay clean when not in
use.
Danger!
Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the
ends of any optical fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is
disconnected at the other end.
Note:
The connector O-rings are pre-lubricated by the factory and should not require additional
lubrication for the initial assembly.
