SECTION I

Connector Assembly and Installation

1.CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

Once the SC connector has been mounted and polished, the housing can be installed onto the body.

A.Standard Density Applications

While holding the connector firmly by the boot, align the chamfers on both the connector and housing and snap into place (Fig. I1). A positive click will be heard when the housing is fully engaged.

B.High Density Applications

This application does not require the housing to be placed onto the connector body. The high density coupling is used without the sliding housing.

2.CONNECTOR COUPLING CLEANING

Only one connection should be made at a time and the dust caps should not be removed until immediately prior to mating.

A.Clean the ceramic ferrule of the connector with an isopropyl alcohol dampened lint-free cloth (Fig. I2) and immediately blow with compressed air.

Note: Carefully follow safety, health and disposal information on container label or Material Safety Data Sheet for isopropyl alcohol being used.

B. Insert an isopropyl alcohol dampened pipe cleaner into the coupling to remove any foreign particles (Fig. I3). Blow with compressed air.

3.SC CONNECTOR - STANDARD DENSITY MATING Installation

A.Hold the connector by the housing. Align the key on the connector housing with the slot of the coupling (Fig. I4) and push into place with a positive click. (The white line or slot in the housing will not be visible when fully latched).

B.Uncap, clean and install the second connector as described above.

Removal

A. To release the connector from the coupling, pull back on the connector housing.

B. Cover connector and coupling ends with dust caps when not being used.
