INTRODUCTION NOTE The MT-RJ jack kits listed in Figure 1 are designed to terminate 900-mm tight buffered optical fiber. The jacks must be used with 125-mm multimode fiber optic cable only. Read these instructions thoroughly before assembling the jack kits. NOTE units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. i Figures are not drawn to scale. Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY. These jack kits cannot be used with build-up tubes, loose tube fiber, easy-strip fiber, fan-out i Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric kits, or breakout kits.

The workstation jacks can be installed using the SL jack housing (included with the kit) or Parallel Dress Clip 1374206-1 (simplex) or 1374205-1 (duplex) shown in Figure 1. NOTE For available adapter plates, patch panels, enclosures, faceplates and wall outlets, and i installation instructions, refer to 408-8844. Each workstation jack kit contains one MT-RJ jack module assembly (with protective cover), SL jack housing, 900-mm (black) fiber guide, jack boot, and an actuation key. The jack kits are shipped with the protective covers installed onto the jacks. Keep protective covers in place until ready for connection. Each jack has two channels designated (on the top of the jack) with "A" and "B." 3. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE DANGER ALWAYS wear eye protection when working with optical fibers.

Tools and Materials 1. For workstation jacks, slide the jack boot (small diameter end first) onto the fiber. IMPORTANT For correct system polarity, Channel "A" must be connected to Channel "B" and Channel "B" must be connected to Channel "A" on any cable run or cable assembly (including fiber optic equipment). Refer to Figure 2. 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. 2. Using the fiber optic combination 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. A. Required 3. Using the micro-strip strip tool, strip the fiber to 35 to 37 mm [1.38 to 1.46 in.]. -- Fiber Optic Combination Strip Tool 1278947-1 (408-4577) or 1754708-1 2 of 6 RIFCOS is a trademark of RIFOCS Corporation Tyco Electronics Corporation Rev F 408-8718 MT-RJ Jack Kits Panel Workstation A Blue B B Orange A Detail A A Green B B Brown A A Slate B B White A A Red B B Black A A B Yellow Stripped Fiber in Slot B A Violet A Rose B B Aqua A End of Buffer at 6-mm Marking Detail B Figure 2 4. 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. B. Cleaving the Fiber CAUTION Fibers must be terminated as soon as the Slide Fiber Slide cleaving and inspection process is complete; ! otherwise, damage to the fibers could result. Forward Detail C Fiber Clamp Closed 1. Open the fiber clamp of the fiber optic cleaver. Press the button, and slide the carriage back (toward the fiber clamp). Then move the fiber slide back until it stops. 2. Place the stripped fiber into the slot so that the end of the buffer is at the 6-mm marking. See Figure 3, Detail A. 3. While applying pressure on the buffer, carefully slide the fiber slide forward (toward the carriage) until it stops. See Figure 3, Detail B. Slide Carriage Forward 4. Gently close the fiber clamp, and slide the carriage forward. DO NOT touch the button while sliding the carriage. See Figure 3, Detail C. Figure 3 5. Open the fiber clamp, and move the fiber slide back until it stops. 6. Remove the cleaved fiber, and properly dispose of the scrap fiber. If the fiber does not cleave, repeat the process starting with Step 3 of Paragraph 3.2.A. Rev F CAUTION Be careful to dispose of fiber ends properly. The fibers create slivers that can easily puncture skin ! Tyco Electronics Corporation and cause irritation. 3 of 6 408-8718 MT-RJ Jack Kits CAUTION 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 per day according to the following: 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 the instructions packaged with the microscope kit) for operating procedures and safety precautions concerning the microscope. CAUTION DO NOT attempt to clean the fiber after it has been cleaved. ! 2. With the handle of the actuation key pointed toward the top of the jack, insert the key (pointed end first) into the key hole for Channel A until it stops (the entire key portion must be inside the hole). See Figure 5. DO NOT force the key. With the key in this position, the fiber hole is "closed." 3. Slide the prepared fiber onto the slot of the fiber guide and into the fiber hole until the fiber stops. Refer to Figure 5. 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 B. With the key in this position, the fiber hole is "open." CAUTION Ensure that the key is rotated ONLY one-quarter turn; otherwise, the fiber hole will be partially IMPORTANT Fibers must be terminated as soon as the cleaving and inspection process is complete; otherwise, damage to the fibers could result.

Insert the fiber further into the fiber hole until it bottoms. See Figure 7, Detail A. 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 Handle 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 B. The fiber is now terminated to the jack. 7. Remove the key from the jack. NOTE Top of Jack Key Hole Fiber Hole Closed" Key Improperly Positioned Fiber Hole Partially Open If preferred, use the visual fault locator to confirm that the fiber is fully inserted into the fiber hole. i Figure 7 When the fiber is properly inserted, the laser (or LED) light will diminish in the target area of the jack. Refer to Figure 8. CAUTION If using the visual fault locator, avoid contamination to the ferrule end face. Make sure ! Using Visual Fault Locator (Optional) that the protective cover remains clean when removed, and then before proceeding, re-install Target Area the protective cover onto the jack. Jack If the ferrule end face is touched or otherwise Fiber Guide contaminated, clean the end face with canned air before re-installing the protective cover. TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, wear eye protection. 8. Repeat the assembly procedure for Channel B. Rev F Tyco Electronics Corporation Figure 8 5 of 6 408-8718 MT-RJ Jack Kits 9. 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 protective cover on the jack if not installing the jack immediately. CAUTION 3.4. Inspection Remove the protective cover, and inspect the ferrule end face for cleanliness using the microscope kit. To avoid 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. 10. For workstation jacks, check to make sure that the fibers are not twisted, then slide the jack boot over the element housing of the jack until it butts against the shoulder. See Figure 9. CAUTION It is important that the FIBERS ARE NOT TWISTED before installing the jack boot. ! Jack Boot Installed onto Workstation Jack DANGER: Never View Active Fiber Signals 3.5. Installation Refer to Instruction Sheet 408-8844 for instructions on installing the jacks into the adapter plates, patch panels, or enclosure or wall box. Figure 9 4.
