3.4 Disconnecting Drop Cable from Mini-OTE Optical Port
Use the following procedure to disconnect a drop cable from an optical port on the Mini-OTE terminal:
1.
Unscrew the optical port dust cap from the drop cable dust cap (see
).
2.
Unscrew the drop cable connector coupling nut from the optical port (see
3.
Inspect the optical port dust cap O-ring for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant (MST-ACC-
LUBE1) to the O-ring if dry. For the procedure, refer to
4.
Thread the optical port dust cap into the optical port and tighten using the 216B key tool (see
).
5.
Inspect the drop cable connector O-rings for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant (MST-ACC-
LUBE1) to each O-ring if dry. For the procedure, refer to
6.
Thread the drop cable dust cap onto the drop cable connector coupling nut and tighten until
finger tight (see

Maintenance of Mini-OTE 300 Terminals
Maintenance for the Mini-OTE terminal is limited to cleaning the hardened adapters as needed to maintain
optimal performance, lubricating O-rings that may become dry, or replacing a damaged optical connector.
4.1 Drop Cable Connector Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning kit (FHD-ACC-CLNKIT1) is required for this procedure. Use the following procedure to clean the
drop cable connector:
1.
Unscrew the drop cable connector dust cap from the end of the drop cable connector.
2.
Examine the end of the drop cable connector and determine which is the high side and which is
the low side of the connector end-face as shown in
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:
Use the approved local cleaning device that has slots for a hardened connector shroud.
