6. Moving the Fiber Plate
The HUT-APE allows you to have the fiber patched to the front or rear panel to handle different
installation requirements. Review the following steps to relocate the fiber plate (ST/UPC shown). All
work should be performed in an ESD-safe environment. Use caution not to touch any internal
components. Do not contact any fiber-optic connector end faces.
Note: Apply medium strength thread locker on screws before closing the enclosure.

1. Unplug the HUT-APE power cable(s) and all connected fibers. Let unit sit for 20 minutes for
internal components to discharge.

fiber is caught on any components.
