Let’s now see how to connect one to the other.
First, we need to open the cover of the RFoF connectors. In order to open the cover of the adapter unit, you just have to pull it out. You put your finger and pull it a bit firmly, and it is going to pop out. The reason it’s firm, is because it has an outdoor seal.
Now we will see how to open the radial cover on the optical cable. As you can see, this is made of 3 components the 3 parts: the bottom, the body, and the cover. This is a compression connector, so what you need to do is like you see under the arrow over here, you need to push down both the body and the cover, and hold the body with your fingers. At the same time, pull out the cover. Now you see the fiber cables exposed over here.
Next, we need to connect those two to each other and in order to do this, you see that there are reel markings over here – and you see, that there are reel markings over here. You need to align them so that they can go through. If you cannot see it, and if you try to push in another way, as you can see, it is not going through. The best way is to wiggle a little bit, and it goes by itself. Let’s try again. If I try it the other way, it does not go out, it does not go in. If it is this way, it does go out/in. However, if everything is lined up, it easily goes in. And then you can lock.
So now, we have realized a secure connection between the cable and the outdoor enclosure. Thanks for watching.
