GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
This section provides general installation information for all versions of the MST.
3.1
Cable Handling Recommendations
Each MST is equipped with a optical cable. Depending on the length of the cable and the
number of ports on the MST enclosure, the MST cable may be coiled up and placed in box or it
may be coiled on a spool.
Coiled Cable Handling: If the MST is placed in a box with other MST’s, carefully remove the
packaging material to expose the cable coil and the MST as shown in
. Leave the MST
on top and in the center of the coil. If the MST was ordered with the standard spooling option,
locate the free end of the cable and then carefully uncoil the cable from around the MST. If the
MST was ordered with the reverse spooling option, carefully uncoil the cable starting with the
MST end of the cable.
