	Patch-out

• Choose one of the three ingress ports to use for the feeder fiber.
• If using ingress 1, please cut out the oblong on the baseplate. If using ingress 2, the oblong is already cut out by default.
• For a patch-out, cut out the rectangle at the bottom of the baseplate.
• Insert 2 zip ties in the set of holes matching your chosen configuration.

Mount the unit to the wall

De-assemble the FTU, so that the baseplate and FMU are separated.
Use the drilling template to mount the baseplate to the wall.
The baseplate can also be mounted directly on a wall junction box.
The drilling template is available on

Attach pigtail or patch cable

• Remove the SC/APC coupler from the FMU.
• Take the protective cap off the top end of the coupler and off the fiber connector, and plug the fiber connector into the coupler.
• Put the coupler and fiber back in the FMU.

There is only one correct way to put the connector back in the FMU:

• The slots must be facing upwards.
• The single metal clip on the right hand side must face towards the middle of the FMU.
  

Attach feeder fiber

• If using ingress ports 1 or 2, insert the zip ties through the appropriate set of holes.
• Strip the outer sheath off the feeder fiber.
• If required, install a gasblocker. The gasblocker should rest in the recess.
• Peel the backing off the foam padding before wrapping it around the base of the feeder fiber.
• Position the feeder fiber in the FMU and secure in place using the zip ties. Trim the excess ends off the zip ties.

Splice fiber

• Place the appropriate splice holder.
• Splice the feeder fiber and pigtail together.
• Place the splice in the splice holder.
• Store the overlength fiber in the FMU.
• Perform any tests required to guarantee the quality of the splice.

WDM combiner

(optional)
A WDM combiner is used for terminating a network with CATV services on a separate RF-overlay fiber. Depending on the model it will be provided with a pre-installed WDM combiner. To install:

• Roll out the Data and CATV fibers.
• Splice these two pigtails to the corresponding feeder fibers.
• Place the two splices in the splice holder.
• Store the overlength fibers in the FMU.
• Perform any tests required to guarantee the quality of the splices.

Patch-out

(optional)
The device supports the ability to add patch out fiber cables.
Depending on the model these couplers and/or pigtails are pre-installed in the FMU.

• Connect the pigtail(s) to the patch out coupler.
• Splice the pigtail(s) with the feeder fiber(s).
• Place the splices in the splice holder.
  Note: the number and type of patch out options depends on the specific FTU model.

Patch-in

(optional)
The device supports the ability to patch in fiber cables.
These connectors are pre-installed in the FMU.

• Please connect the fiber patch cable from the third-party FTU to the patch-in port of the FiberTwist FTU. Depending on the model, you need to place an SC or LC connector.
  

Finish installation

• Remove the remaining protective cap from the FiberTwist coupler.
• Place the FMU with the installed fibers on the baseplate.
