Installation (Cont.)

4.9 Secured Grounding

Attach the grounding braid by using the 

ground lug as a guide. Use the appropriate eyelet 

to allow both sides of the ring cut to be mounted 

in the following step. Then attach the additional 

washer and nut to the ground lug to secure the 

braid in place.

4.8 Insert Ground Lug

Drill out the center of the ground lug at 

the specified location in 4.7 with a .25" inch drill. 

Insert the supplied ground lug with the terminal 

lug on the outside of the Optima™ U, compressing 

the rubber seated gasket to the outside of the 

enclosure to ensure a water tight seal. With the 

long threaded end on the inside of the enclosure, 

attach the ground lug to the base by using the 

supplied washer and nut(s).

4.10 Install CSM Clamp

Attach the CSM clamp to the base of the 

Optima™ U using the supplied hardware. Be sure 

to install both clamps on the opposite entry ports 

of the base to accommodate the ring cut. DO NOT 

tighten the CSM clamp all the way down but just 

loose enough to slide the CSM under the clamp.

4.11 Fiber Management Clips

Insert the included fiber management 

clips into the slots of the Optima™ U base in the 

orientation shown. Ensure each clip is fully pushed 

in to prevent it from falling out in later steps.
