Enabling Service To a Subscriber
Use the following procedure to enable service to a subscriber:
1. Check the designation labels on the cabinet front doors to determine the distribution panel
and port number that corresponds to the address of the subscriber.
2. Locate the subscriber port on the distribution panel and remove the adapter dust cap.
3. Select and remove an unused splitter output fiber from the storage panel and carefully
work it free of any other fibers.
4. Remove the ferrule dust cap from the connector and then clean the connector as specified
in the Optical Fiber Systems Cleaning and Mating Instructions (ADCP-90-159).
5. Connect the splitter output fiber connector to the subscriber port.
6. Use the radius limiters to store any excess fiber slack. When the splitter and the
distribution port are located on the same side of the cabinet (same swing frame), refer to
for the routing guidelines. When the splitter and the distribution port on
opposite sides of the cabinet (opposite swing frames), refer to
guidelines.

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
.
