7. Thread the drop cable connector coupling nut into the optical port and tighten
coupling nut until finger tight.
8. Inspect the optical port dust cap O-ring (see
Figure 16
) for dryness and apply O-
ring lubricant (MST-ACC-LUBE1) to the O-ring if dry. Refer to
Section 7
for the
procedure.
9. Thread the optical port dust cap into the drop cable dust cap as shown in
Figure 16
and then tighten both dust caps finger tight. This ensures that both dust
caps will stay clean when not in use.

Disconnecting Drop Cable From MST Optical Port
Use the following procedure to disconnect a drop cable from an optical port on the MST
enclosure:
1. Unscrew the optical port dust cap from the drop cable dust cap (see
Figure 16
).
2. Unscrew the drop cable connector coupling nut from the optical port (see
Figure 15
).
3. Inspect the optical port dust cap O-ring for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant
(MST-ACC-LUBE1) to the O-ring if dry. Refer to
Section 7
for the required
procedure.
4. Thread the optical port dust cap into the optical port and tighten using the 216B
key tool (see
Figure 14
).
5. Inspect the drop cable connector O-rings for dryness and apply O-ring lubricant
(MST-ACC-LUBE1) to each O-ring if dry. Refer to
Section 7
for the required
procedure.
6. Thread the drop cable dust cap onto the drop cable connector coupling nut and
tighten until finger tight (see
Figure 13
).
Note:
The optical port dust cap O-ring is pre-lubricated by the factory and should
not require additional lubrication for the initial assembly.
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.
