Connect to Fiber Under Test (FUT):
All fibers and connectors should be inspected and clean prior to connection, as described on page 1.
The COSA-4055 is typically connected to the FUT via a Monitor Port or splitter/tap to not disrupt
service. The COSA-4055 can also be directly connected to the common port or common fiber via a
coupler during turn up or maintenance:
