INTRODUCTION Figure 1 50/125 m 62.5/125 2 m 39mm patch panel MT RJ jack kits listed in Figure 1 are designed for terminating 250 m coated optical fiber. The jacks must be used with only the optical fiber size given in Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly before assembling the jack kits. These kits cannot be used with build up tubes, loose tube fiber, easy strip fiber, fan out 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. These jacks fit into adapter plates or patch panels for use in a rack or wall mount enclosures or enclosures having an adapter plate or patch panel. 2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1) Each jack kit contains six MT RJ jack module assemblies (each with dust cover), an icon wheel, 250 m fiber guide (beige), and two actuation keys. The kits are shipped with the dust covers installed onto the jacks. Keep dust covers in place until ready for connection. Each jack has two channels designated (on the top of the jack) with and. 3. SSEMLY PROCEDURE DNGER CUTION LWYS wear eye protection when working with optical fibers. NEVER look into the end of terminated or unterminated fibers. Laser radiation is invisible but can damage eye tissue. NEVER eat, drink, or smoke when working with fibers. This could lead to ingestion of glass particles. During assembly, keep components and tools as clean as possible to avoid contamination in the optical interface Tools and Materials The following tools and materials are necessary for preparation, assembly, inspection, and maintenance of the assembly. Follow the operating instructions (408 series) packaged with the tools and safety guidelines packaged with the materials.. Required Fiber Optic Combination Strip Tool ( ) lcohol Fiber Wipe Packet or lint free tissues and isopropyl alcohol greater than 91% (99% preferred) Cleave Tool The above items (with a part number) are included in MT RJ Jack Termination Kit and LightCrimp Plus and MT RJ Jack Combination Termination Kit Tyco Electronics Corporation, Harrisburg, P This controlled document is subject to change. ll International Rights Reserved For latest revision, call the FX/PRODUCT INFO number.

Preparation. Stripping the Cable IMPORTNT 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 Using the fiber optic combination strip tool, strip the fiber to 31 to 33 mm [1.22 to 1.30 in.]. 2. Clean the stripped portion of the fiber with an alcohol fiber wipe or lint free tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol greater than 91% (99% preferred) to remove the fiber coating residue. DO NOT touch the stripped portion of the fiber after cleaning.. Cleaving the Fiber CUTION Fibers must be terminated as soon as the cleaving and inspection 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. 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 4 (mm) to the 4.5 (mm) scale marking (refer to Figure 3). 2. Holding the fiber in place, release the lever so that the fiber is secure. For best results, it is extremely important that the cleave tool be held as shown in Figure 4, Detail. Making sure that the tool tongue stays flat, gently depress the tool arm to scribe the fiber. The edge of the blade should only touch the fiber. Release the arm. CUTION To avoid damage to the fiber, DO NOT use excessive pressure when depressing the arm. 3. 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. CUTION e careful to dispose of fiber ends properly. The fibers create slivers that can easily puncture skin and cause irritation. If the fiber does not cleave, repeat the steps in Paragraph of 5

Using the gage on the back of the fiber guide, verify that the length of the cleaved fiber is correct. CUTION 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. Detail CUTION To avoid damage to the tool tongue, DO NOT bend the tongue beyond a 45 angle. Slowly end Tongue to Cleave Fiber IMPORTNT Fibers must be terminated as soon as the cleaving and inspection process is complete; otherwise, damage to the fibers could result. Proceed to Paragraph Termination DO NOT use build up tubes, loose tube fiber, easy strip fiber, fan out kits, or breakout kits. Figure 4 IMPORTNT 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. Proceed as follows: 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. 2. With the handle of the actuation key pointing toward the top of the jack, insert the key (pointed end first) into the key hole for Channel until it stops (the entire key portion must be inside the hole). See Figure 6, Detail. DO NOT force the key. With the key in this position, the fiber hole is closed. 3 of 5

See Figure 6, Detail. Fiber on Slot of Fiber Guide 4. While lightly holding the fiber in place, SLOWLY rotate the key handle 90 (one quarter turn) toward the outside of the jack. See Figure 6, Detail. With the key in this position, the fiber hole is open. CUTION Ensure that the key is rotated ONLY one quarter turn; otherwise, the fiber hole will be partially open, and the fiber cannot be inserted. Detail 5. Insert the fiber further into the fiber hole until it bottoms. See Figure 7, Detail. 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. Key in Position Fiber Hole is Closed 6. Hold the fiber in place using enough pressure to create a slight bow in the fiber, then SLOWLY rotate the key handle 90 (one quarter turn) toward the inside of the jack. DO NOT flip the key handle. Refer to Figure 7, Detail. The fiber is now terminated to the jack. 7. Remove the key from the jack. Detail Key in Position Fiber Hole is Open Fiber in Fiber Hole If preferred, use the visual fault finder to confirm that the fiber is fully inserted into the fiber hole. When the fiber is properly inserted, the laser (or LED) light will diminish in the target area of the jack. Refer to Figure 8. CUTION If using the visual fault finder, avoid contamination to the fiber ferrule end face. Make sure that the dust cover remains clean when removed, and then before proceeding, that the dust cover is re installed onto the jack. If the fiber ferrule end face is touched, or otherwise contaminated, clean the end face with canned air before re installing the dust cover. TO VOID PERSONL INJURY, wear eye protection. 8. Repeat the assembly procedure for Channel. Open Figure 6 4 of 5

Carefully slide the fiber guide at least 76 mm [3 in.] away from the jack, then carefully route the fiber out of the slot in the fiber guide. Keep the dust cover on the jack if not installing the jack immediately. CUTION To avoid putting tension on the fiber, it is important to slide the fiber guide away from the jack before routing the fiber out of the fiber guide Installation Refer to Instruction Sheet for instructions on installing the jacks into the adapter plates, patch panels, or enclosure or wall outlets.
