Standard Recommended Procedure 003-794-AEN | Issue 14 | March 2020 | Page 17 of 27
Step 1:
With the trunk cables securely installed in the housing, remove the dust caps from the MTP® trunk
connector legs and MTP adapter panel (only on the rear side of the adapter panel) by pulling on the
dust cap while holding the connector body/housing/shroud. (See page 12, Figure 16A) For the initial
mating, do not clean or scope connectors. Corning CleanAdvantage
™
connectors are shipped with an
optimized dust cap to maintain cleanliness for the first use. Keep dust caps in place on the front of
the adapter panel, if applicable.
CAUTION:
Scoping Corning CleanAdvantage connectors increases the risk of adding contamination
to the system. CleanAdvantage technology is designed for mating connectors without cleaning or
scoping before the initial installation.
Step 2:
Mate the MTP connector(s) into the rear of the adapter(s) (Figure 21).
Step 3:
Repeat for the remaining adapters and connectors for a single panel. For each panel, group trunk legs
and place them in the fiber retaining fingers. Be careful not to pinch or kink trunk legs when placing
them in the fiber retaining fingers.
Step 4:
With a panel fully populated, insert panel from the rear until it locks into place (Figure 22).
Step 5:
Repeat for all panels.
Step 6:
Loosely capture fiber slack with hook-and-loop straps in the rear of the housing.
