Legrand OptiMo Installation Instruction
Legrand Optimo connectors enable high-performance data transmission through optical fibers. These connectors can be used with 900 µm buffered or loose tube fiber, as well as jacketed fiber. The OptiMo connector provides a secure and reliable connection for your fiber optic applications, supporting various types of fiber, including multimode (50 µm & 62.5 µm) and singlemode.

Safety precautions
CAUTION: • When installed on a live system, invisible laser radiation may be present.
Do not stare into connector endface or view directly with optical instruments.
• Wear safety glasses when working with optical fiber.
• Dispose of all scrap fiber in the waste bottle to avoid getting fiber slivers.

If unfamiliar with stripping optical fiber, it is advised to practice using a spare piece of fiber.
Make sure the fiber optic stripper tool you are using is in proper operating condition before attempting this step.
Use of a tool that is not in proper operating condition could cause the fiber to break.

Unclamp the cord.
Carefully
remove the connector from the installation tool. Hold the crimping tool vertically and rest the crimping tool against the disposable tool tab to ensure it is aligned properly. The disposable tool must be rotated in order for it’s tab to be pointing at the crimp tool handle. Using the first and smallesr die (,068 hex) on the crimping tool, strongly crimp the stem on the buffer at the “buffer crimp area”, making sure neither the jacket nor any aramid yarn is in the way. The smallest diameter hex face is against the disposable tool tab.
*
Make sure that the crimp tool you are using is in proper operating condition before attempting this step. Also make sure that the tool is set to the settings shown in the Technical Bulletin—OptiMo ® Field Installable Connectors document that is provided with your Ortronics ® Field Installation Kit.

Remove disposable tool and discard it. Gently pull the Kevlar towards the connector to make sure there is no slack. Slide the crimp sleeve over the Kevlar. Spread the Kevlar evenly around the connector.
Carefully
remove the connector from the installation tool. Ensure the crimp sleeve is against the rear of the connector and strongly crimp the crimp sleeve using the middle die (.128 hex) of the crimping tool. Now you can cut excess aramid yarn.

Cleaning procedures
1. Wipe completely around the connector ferrule a few times with a lint-free alcohol soaked wipe. Then wipe across the end of the ferrule.
2. Repeat step 1 with a dry wipe.
3. Blow compressed gas across the end of the ferrule (optional but recommended).
* * *
Do not allow ferrule to touch anything before inserting into coupling.
Preferred alcohol is ethanol but isopropyl alcohol may be used.
A dry cleaning tape system may also be used.
