3 Warnings and Cautions

• Follow the installation instruction steps to ensure the performance of the closure. It is necessary to take

precautions and keep the working space clean to protect the closure sealing materials and splices.

• Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical

fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end. Looking into

the ends of any optical fiber is entirely at your own risk. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed

over any radiating adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation

exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector and adapter.

• Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the recommended minimum bend

radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when installing fiber optic cables, subunits and patch

cords.

4 Mounting the SxT

4.1 Flat surface mounting

4.1.1 Flat surface mounting with screws

Note: Flat surface mount hardware (screws) not included.

Note: Wall mounting is not allowed in the USA due to lack of UL listing.

4.2 Pole mounting

4.2.1 Pole mounting with screws

Note: Pole mount hardware (screws) not included.

4.2.2 Pole mounting with straps

Note: Pole mount hardware (straps) not included.

5 Full Size connector installation

5.1 Connector components

The full size hardened connectors and adapters provide sealed environmental protection. The basic components of the

drop cable connector are shown in the figure above. The dust cap threads onto the connector coupling nut. The O-ring

on the connector body provides a tight seal when the dust cap is in place. A pulling eye is provided in the end of the

dust cap for pulling the drop cable through conduit.

Note: Do not exceed a pulling force of 445 N (100 lbs) and when connected, don’t exceed cable pull of 111 N (25

lbs).

5.2 Adapter components

The dust cap threads into the adapter housing. An O-ring on the dust cap provides a tight seal when the dust cap is in

place.

5.3 Connecting the Full Size connector

5.3.1 Remove dustcaps

1 Use a 216B key tool to unscrew the dust cap from the SxT optical port.

page 5 / 11

Note: The 216B key tool is not included.

2 Unscrew the dust cap from the cable connector.

3 Pull the dust cap off.

Note: Field personnel must take care when proceeding to remove dust caps on the full size hardened connector at

the adapter plugs or cables, to prevent contaminant particles entering to the adapters or connector end-face.

5.3.2 Install the Full Size connector

1 Align the drop cable connector with the optical port. The pointer on the drop cable connector should line up with

the notch on the optical port.

2 Insert the drop cable connector into the optical port. If the drop cable connector does not insert all the way to the

bottom of the port, rotate drop cable connector slightly to either side until it slides freely into place.

3 Thread the drop cable connector coupling nut into the optical port and tighten coupling nut until finger tight.

5.3.3 Secure dustcaps

1 Thread the optical port dust cap into the drop cable dust cap.

2 Tighten both dust caps finger tight.

3 This ensures that both dust caps will stay clean when not in use.

5.4 Disconnecting the Full Size connector

1 Unscrew the optical port dust cap from the drop cable dust cap.

page 6 / 11

2 Unscrew the drop cable connector coupling nut from the optical port and pull the connector straight out of the

adapter.

3 Thread the optical port dust cap into the optical port and tighten using a 216B key tool.

4 Thread the drop cable dust cap onto the drop cable connector coupling nut and tighten until finger tight.

5.5 Full Size connector cleaning

The connectors and adapters are cleaned at the factory, however inadvertent contact and/or dust can still occur during

transport, storage and installation. CommScope recommends all connector interfaces be cleaned prior to every mating.

To clean the connector interface, follow the procedure as described in the installation instruction “cleaning hardened

connectors”.

6 HMFOC connector installation

6.1 Connector components

Terminals are available with an HMFOC connector at the end of the tail; the HMFOC is a hardened 12 fiber connector

that can be used for many applications. The primary application is to connect indexing terminals in a cascade or to

connect an indexing terminal to the Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH) or Closure, to extend the distribution network. The

connector on the tail is the non-pinned female plug; the connector is protected by a dust cap. The O-ring on the

connector body provides a watertight seal when the dust cap is in place. A pulling eye is provided in the end of the

dust cap for pulling the drop cable.

Note: Do not exceed a pulling force of 445 N (100 lbs) and when connected, don’t exceed cable pull of 111 N (25

lbs). A properly rated breakaway swivel should be used between the pull rope and the pulling cap.

6.2 Adapter components

The connector inside the adapter is a pinned, male jack. It is a captured Multi-fiber Push On (MPO) connector.

6.3 Connecting the HMFOC connector

6.3.1 Remove dustcaps

1 Use a 216B key tool to unscrew the dust cap.

Note: The 216B key tool is not included.

2 Unscrew the coupling nut from the cable connector dust cap.

3 Pull the dust cap off.

Note: Field personnel must take care when proceeding to remove dust caps on the full size hardened connector at

the adapter plugs or cables, to prevent contaminant particles entering to the adapters or connector end-face.

6.3.2 Install the HMFOC connector

1 Find the alignment keys on the adapter port (square notch in the thread area) and on the connector (groove). And

push the plug connector in the jack of the adapter port until it seats.

2 Thread the cable connector’s coupling nut onto the thread of the adapter port until it is finger tight.

page 8 / 11

6.3.3 Secure dustcaps

1 Thread the drop cable dust cap into the optical port dust cap.

2 Tighten both dust caps finger tight.

3 This ensures that both dust caps will stay clean when not in use.

6.4 Disconnecting the HMFOC connector

1 Unscrew the drop cable connector coupling nut until the thread of the adapter port is completely free.

2 Grasp the connector and pull it straight out of the adapter. The pull-out force to remove the connector should be

minimum once the coupling nut is fully disengaged.

3 Uncouple the two dust caps.

4 Thread the optical port dust cap into the optical port and tighten until finger tight.

5 Thread the drop cable connector coupling nut into the drop cable dust cap and tighten until finger tight.

6.5 HMFOC connector cleaning

The connectors and adapters are cleaned at the factory, however inadvertent contact and/or dust can still occur during

transport, storage and installation. CommScope recommends all connector interfaces be cleaned prior to every mating.

To clean the connector interface, follow the procedure as described in the installation instruction “cleaning hardened

connectors”.
