This installation guide provides instructions for preparation, installation and application  

of Multilink’s Optima™ U en

closure. This product provides access to the fiber optic trunk line and 

quick connection to subscribers’ single drop cable or low count drop (feeder or lateral) cable. This 

guide is for installers who are familiar with fiber optic cable systems and their applications.

1.1 Product Description

Multilink’s Optima™ U enclosure allows a FTTX provider to access the fiber optic trunk line 

(that is deployed from the central office, headend, or remote hub) and branch connections off  

to individual subscribers (such as home, apartment, or individual business). Connections can  

also be branched off to low count drop cables to feed another terminal point. Contact Multilink  

at (440) 366-6966 for assistance for FTTX network planning and FTTX deployment products.
