DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
This section provides a description of the OmniReach DLX Mini Multiport Service Terminal
(MST) plus basic product application information.
1.1
Multiport Service Terminal
The OmniReach Multiport Service Terminal (MST) is an environmentally-sealed, Outside Plant
(OSP) fiber optic terminal that provides a point for connecting subscriber drop cables to the
network. Designed for Fiber To The Premises (FTTP) applications, the MST consists of a two-
piece plastic housing equipped with multiple optical ports. An attached optical cable assembly
is connected internally to the optical ports. The DLX-MST may be ordered with four, six, eight,
or twelve fiber ports. All port configurations use the same style housing.

The MST uses CommScope DLX adapters for the optical ports. A DLX adapter consists of a
standard SC adapter that is enclosed within a protective housing. The housing provides sealed
environmental protection for the adapter. The opening to each optical port is sealed with a
threaded dust cap that prevents the entry of dirt and moisture. A standard 216B security tool
(accessory) can be used to remove the dust cap. The MST optical ports accept subscriber drop
cables that are terminated with DLX hardened connectors from CommScope.
Within the MST enclosure, the MST optical cable assembly is connected internally to the
optical ports. The cable assembly exits the MST enclosure through a sealed opening located at
the bottom of the enclosure. The DLX MST may be ordered with a flat dielectric cable
(toneable or non-toneable). Depending on the option ordered, the cable end may be stubbed for
splicing or terminated with a hardened multi-fiber connector (MFC).
