Connecting Drop Cable to MST Optical Port
Use the following procedure to connect a drop cable to an optical port on the MST
enclosure:
1. Unscrew the dust cap from the drop cable connector (see
Figure 13
).
2. 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 procedure.
3. Use the 216B key tool (accessory) to unscrew the dust cap (see
Figure 14
) from
the MST optical port.
4. Clean both the optical port adapter and the drop cable connector (requires
accessory kit FHD-ACC-CLNKIT1) as specified in ADCP-96-067.
5. Align the drop cable connector with the optical port as shown in
Figure 15
. The
pointer on the drop cable connector should line up with the notch on the optical
port.

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.
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.
Note:
The connector O-rings are pre-lubricated by the factory and should not
require additional lubrication for the initial assembly.
