INTRODUCTION MT RJ jack kits listed in Figure 1 are used to terminate 900 m buffered optical fiber or 250 m coated optical fiber to MT RJ jacks. The jacks are designed for use with 125 m multimode fiber optic cable only. Read these instructions thoroughly before assembling the jack kits. These kits cannot be used with build up tubes, easy strip fiber, fanout kits, or breakout kits. Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures are not drawn to scale. The patch panel jacks fit into MT RJ Patch Panel Mounting Kit or MT RJ Solarum Enclosure These jacks also fit into MT RJ Push Pin dapter Plate for use in existing rack and wall mount enclosures. The workstation jacks can be used in faceplates or wall outlets for use on wall boxes, HIDEWY Mixed Media Outlets [ ], [ ], or [ ], or HideOut* Multi Media Wall Outlets [ ] or [ ]. Parallel Dress Clip (simplex) or (duplex), shown in Figure 1, can be used (instead of the jack housing) with the workstation jacks. If installing the workstation jack in a faceplate or wall outlet, the wall box must be at least 50.8 mm [2.0 in.] deep. Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 4, REVISION SUMMRY. 2.

Preparation. Stripping the Cable 1. Using the appropriate strip tool, strip the cable jacket to expose approximately 381 to 508 mm [15 to 20 in.] of fiber. Trim the strength members even with the jacket. 2. Using the strip tool, strip the fiber according to the following: 35 to 37 mm [1.38 to 1.46 in.] for 900 m buffered fiber 31 to 33 mm [1.22 to 1.30 in.] for 250 m coated fiber 3. Clean the fiber with an alcohol fiber wipe to remove the fiber coating residue.. Cleaving the Fiber Fibers must be terminated as soon as the cleaving process is complete; otherwise, damage to the fibers could result. To avoid damage to the fiber and to achieve a quality cleave, make sure that the cleave tool blade, the groove on the tongue, the fiber gripper pad, and the area around the blade, is clean; only use alcohol on the tool. 1. For the workstation jack, slide the jack boot (small diameter end first) onto the fiber. IMPORTNT Keep in mind, for correct system polarity, Channel must be connected to Channel and Channel must be connected to Channel on any cable run or cable assembly (including fiber optic equipment). Refer to Figure 2. Panel Workstation lue Orange Slate White Yellow Violet Green rown Red lack Rose qua Figure 2 2. Press the lever on the cleave tool to open the clamp, and lay the fiber in the groove on the tongue with the fiber started at the scale marking (refer to Figure 3) according to the following: 6.0 to 6.5 mm [.23 to.26 in.] for 900 m buffered fiber 4.0 to 4.5 mm [.15 to.18 in.] for 250 m coated fiber 2 of 7

Figure 3 Slowly end Tongue to Cleave Fiber 3. Holding the fiber in place, release the lever so that the fiber is secure. Make sure that the tool tongue stays flat, and gently depress the tool arm to scribe the fiber. Release the arm. See Figure 4, Detail. To avoid damage to the fiber, DO NOT use excessive pressure when depressing the arm. The edge of the blade should only touch the fiber. Figure 4 4. Keeping the fiber in position, slowly bend, but DO NOT twist, the tongue to cleave the fiber. See Figure 4, Detail. Do not touch, or otherwise contaminate, the cleaved fiber end. DO NOT clean the cleaved fiber end. e careful to dispose of fiber ends properly. The fibers create slivers that can easily puncture skin and cause irritation. The blade might need to be replaced after using the tool approximately 1,000 times. Replace the blade with lade Fibers must have a quality cleave before terminating to the jacks. To ensure that the cleave tool is producing quality cleaves, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to inspect at least one fiber cleave a day as follows: 1. Fit the bare fiber adapter onto the universal adapter; then assemble the universal adapter onto the microscope. 2. Using the microscope, inspect the fiber for a quality cleave. Refer to (packaged with the microscope kit) for operating procedures and safety precautions concerning the microscope. IMPORTNT Fibers must be terminated as soon as the cleaving process is complete; otherwise, damage to the fibers could result. Proceed to Paragraph Termination DO NOT use build up tubes, fanout kits, or breakout kits on the fibers, and DO NOT use easy strip fiber. 1. Holding the jack or placing the jack on a clean, flat surface (the dust cover helps to keep the jack stabilized), slide the fiber guide onto the back of the jack. See Figure 5. The fiber guide is marked with the fiber size. Make sure that the marking on the fiber guide corresponds with the fiber size being used. Dust Cover Jack Figure 5 Fiber Guide 3 of 7

Slide the prepared fiber onto the slot on the fiber guide and into the fiber hole until the fiber stops. See Figure 7, Detail. While lightly holding the fiber in place, SLOWLY rotate the key handle 90 (one quarter turn) toward the outside of the jack. See Figure 7, Detail. With the key in this position, the fiber hole is open. Ensure that the key is rotated ONLY one quarter turn; otherwise, the fiber hole will be partially open, and the fiber cannot be inserted. 4. Insert the fiber further into the fiber hole until it bottoms. See Figure 8, Detail C. If the fiber stubs while inserting it into the fiber hole, slightly turn the fiber, and continue to insert the fiber into the hole. The fiber is fully inserted into the fiber hole when the stripped portion of the fiber is inside the jack. 5. Lightly holding the fiber in place, SLOWLY rotate the key handle 90 (one quarter turn) toward the inside of the jack. DO NOT flip the key handle. Refer to Figure 8, Detail D.
