1.1 General product information

The Mini-OTE 400 is a compact terminal allowing the feeder cable to be ﬁeld installed in ﬁber-to-the-x (FTTx) architectures. Featuring pre-

connectorized hardened full-size OptiTap® or mini-size DLX® adapter ports, CommScope’s Mini-OTE 400 terminal enables FTTH deployment in

brown ﬁeld and green ﬁeld applications, with or without coax in place. The terminal is designed for a butt splice conﬁguration in pedestal and hand

hole applications. The Mini-OTE 400 terminal is available with 2, 4 or 8 drops.

1.2 Cable types

The Mini-OTE 400 terminal is available with 2, 4 or 8 drops and two entry/exit ports accommodating up to 72F stranded loose tube micro cable

with cable diameter range 4.5 - 6 mm (0.18 ” - 0.24 ” ).

Feeder cable Ø 4.5 - 6 mm (0.18 ” - 0.24 ” )

Fiber types include single ﬁber 250micron, A2 ﬁber.

4 Feeder cable preparation

4.1 Make window cut of 2.5m (100’’). Make sure oscillation point

is in the middle.

4.3 Remove the aramid yarn. 4.4 Cut the strength members to a length of 45mm (1.77”) from the

cable jacket end. Cut it in the middle of the window cut. The strength

member can be taken out now.

4.2 Use rip cord to strip jacket when available.

4.6 Cut the spiral tube in segments and place the spiral tube

segments over the non used buffer tubes. Place it over the oscillation

points of the cable.

4.5 Take out carefully the buffer tube that need to be connected

with the pre-connectorized drops.

Make sure no buffer tubes get damaged.

Mid cut: Cut the tube in the middle and strip the active and non-active

tube 55mm (2.17”) from the jacket end.

Shaving: Mark tube at both sides 55mm (2.17”) from jacket end. Shave

the tube between these 2 marks.

5.2.2 Remove dummy plugs in position P9 and P10 (see feeder

cable position in the conﬁguration overview (point 3.3)).

Do not remove dummy plugs from ports without a factory-installed

drop for 2 and 4 port terminals.

5.1.4 Take out the organizer with pre-connectorized adapter drops.

5.2.3 Remove the hose clamps on the inside.

Don’t remove cable tie on the outside.

5.2.4 Place the cable in the free ports (P9 and P10).

Make sure the foam is placed in the metal part.

5.2.5 Bring shaved/stripped tube to the front side.

Be careful with the pre-installed pigtails.

5.2.8 Place shaved/stripped tubes in the outer tube holder channel

of the base tray. Insert orange rubber tube.

Align the orange rubber tube with the rib indicated by the arrow.

5.2.7 Secure the strength members.

5.2.6 Bring strength member to the CTU at the back side.

Wrong installation: make sure tube is not twisted around the

strength member.

Wrong installation: don’t bring strength member to the front side.

5.2.9 Close the latches of the multiple hinge clamp.

5.2.10 Secure the hose clamps on the inside again.

Be careful with the pre-installed pigtails.

5.2.11 Secure the tie wraps at the outside.

5.3.3 Secure the loop with 3 cable ties.

5.4.1 The basket in the base tray is designed to store dark ﬁber or

unused shaved ﬁbers.

5.3.1 Carefully make a loop of Ø 11 cm (4.33’’). 5.3.2 Fit the loop in the basket at the back side.

5.4 Store stripped/shaved tubes in the basket of the base tray

5.3 Store the loop (buffer tubes) in the basket at the backside

5.5.1 Route the ﬁbers from the basket in the base tray to the splice

tray via channel as indicated in above photo.

5.6.1 Bend plastic clip.

5.5.2 Make fusion splice and store ﬁber overlength and SMOUV(s)

as standard practice.

5.5.3 If the ﬁbers (feeder and drop) come from the same side on

the tray, one of the 2 ﬁbers need to make a cross on the tray (see white

dotted line on the picture).

5.6.2 Place folded plastic clip over gel strip.

5.5 Make fusion splice and store overlength in the splice tray

5.6 Insert the gel strips

5.6.3 Push gel strip covered with plastic clip through opening

near gel seal cable plug from the back side (loop storage) to the

front side.

5.6.4 Pull gel strip covered with plastic clip at the front side until

plastic clip is completely pushed through.

donut is: open both ends of the donut completely, but keep the donut

ﬁxed in the clamp, and close again as described on pg 9.

6.2.3 Insert the locking bolt and tighten the locking bolt with a

hexagonal wrench.

6.2.2 Close all the latches, starting with top latch towards the gel

seal area. Close the latches left and right side alternating: 1 left,

1right, 1 left,...
