Cable Routing and Management
Dress all cables connected to the ONT neatly and route them such that they are out of
the way and cannot easily be stepped on or tripped over.
Try to bundle cables that are going to the same place using cable ties. Reusable Velcro
ties allow additional cables to be added to the bundle, or unused cables to be removed
from the bundle easily.
An optical fiber cable can perform poorly or be damaged if the minimum bend radius of
the cable is exceeded. Any coil of fiber must be at least 6 inches in diameter to ensure
that the minimum bend radius is met. Ensure any Nylon zip ties do not crush the cable.
Verifying a Solid Green PON LED Indicator on the ONT
After the optical fiber cable is connected to the ONT and power is applied, it will try to
communicate with the upstream Optical Line Terminal (OLT) over the optical fiber cable
