CONNECTING DROP CABLE TO MINI-OTE OPTICAL PORT
Danger:
Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of
any optical fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned-off or that the fiber is disconnected at the
other end. Use the following procedure to connect a drop cable to an optical port on the Mini-OTE
enclosure:
11.1.1 Unscrew the dust cap from the drop cable connector (see Figure 17).
11.1.2 Inspect the drop cable connector O-rings for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant (MST-ACC-LUBE1) to
eac
h
O-ring if dry.
11.1.6
Insert the drop cable connector into the optical port. If the drop cable connector does not insert all the way to
the bottom of the port, rotate drop cable connector slightly to either side until it slides freely into place.
11.1.7
Thread the drop cable connector coupling nut into the optical port and tighten coupling nut until finger tight.
11.1.8
Inspect the optical port dust cap O-ring (see Figure 14) for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant to the O-ring if dr
y
(MST-ACC-LUBE1). Refer to O-Ring Lubrication for the procedure.
Note:
The optical port dust cap O-ring is pre
lubricated by the factory and should not require additional
lubrication for the initial assembly.
Note:
The connector O-rings are pre lubricated by the factory and should not require additional
lubrication for the initial assembly.
11.1.3 Use the 216C key tool (accessory) to unscrew the dust cap (see Figure 15) from the Mini-OTE optical port.
11.1.4 Clean both the optical port adapter and the drop cable connector (requires accessory kit FHD-ACC-CLNKIT1)
as specified in ADCP-96-067.
11.1.5 Align the drop cable connector with the optical port as shown in Figure 16. The pointer on the drop cable
connector should line up with the notch on the optical port.
