Connecting Fiber optic cable to test port
After ensuring proper cleaning of both end connectors, follow the below
steps in order to correctly and safely connect the optical fiber into the test
port:
1
Carefully align the connector and test port to prevent the fiber end
from touching the outside of the port and scratching the end face.
NOTE
If your connector features a keying mechanism, ensure that it is
correctly fitted into the test port's insert.
2
Push the connector to firmly place it inside ensuring physical end
face contact.
NOTE
If your connector features a screw-on sleeve, tighten the
connector to firmly maintain the fiber in place. Do not over tighten
as this will damage the fiber and the test port.
