ENABLING SUBSCRIBER SERVICE
When a splitter module is initially installed, the connector packs are installed in the
storage panel located at the bottom of the cabinet. The output fiber connectors are
temporarily “parked” in the storage panel until they are needed. Service to a subscriber
is enabled by removing an unused output fiber from the connector pack, routing it to
the appropriate adapter pack, and then connecting it to the subscriber port. Use the
216B key tool to un-latch and open the cabinet door as needed when enabling service
to a customer.
Use the following procedure to enable service to a subscriber:
1. Check the designation label on the cabinet doors to determine the port number
that corresponds to the address of the subscriber.
2. Locate the sliding adapter pack that contains the bulkhead adapter for the
subscriber port.
3. Pull upward on the small tab on top of the sliding adapter pack and lift the adapter
pack to the raised position as shown in
.

4. Remove the dust cap from the bulkhead adapter.
5. Select and remove an unused splitter output fiber from the storage panel as
shown in
and carefully work it free of any other fibers.
Warning: Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector.
