Jumpers, part of Lucent’s AllWave ADVANTAGE Optical Connectiv-
ity Solution (OCS). These jumpers contain a boot angled at 40 degrees,
allowing the jumpers to dress appropriately into the fiber tray. The
angled boot eliminates projection outside the front of the shelf assem-
bly.
All fiber connectors should be cleaned and inspected before assembling
into connector ports. Refer to Appendix B for Fiber Cleaning
information. Dust caps should be applied to all fiber connectors when
not installed in a connector port.

LC-type Connections
LC-type fiber connectors use a snap-action, lever-tab locking method
to join the fiber connector to the port connector.
Figure C-5 LC-type Fiber Connector
The LC-type fiber connector is assembled onto an LC-type connector
port of a circuit pack or LC-type LBO by aligning the alignment key
with the slot in the connector port and pushing the connector into the
port until it snaps into place.
The LC-type fiber connector is removed from a connector port by
depressing the snap-action lever to disengage the fiber connector.
