1.
Turn off all laser sources
2.
Ensure that the cable is disconnected from equipment at both ends of the cable
3.
Wear appropriate safety glasses if required

Steps to Connect the Optical Fiber to the ONT
Follow these steps for making connections to the ONT:
1.
Remove the protective covers from the tips of the SC optical connector at the end of the jumper or
terminated fiber cable.
2.
Insert the SC connector on one end of the cable into the ONT’s SC/APC EPON port, which is located on
the left side of the unit as viewed from the rear. The plastic cover of the SC/APC connector compartment
must first be removed. See Figure 15 for a picture of the optical EPON port with the cover removed.
