Hardware Installation for UFiber loco (UF-LOCO)

Wall Mounting

Connecting Fiber

	WARNING: Never look directly into the ends of fiber or modules. The emitted light could cause damage to the eye.

	WARNING: Until ready for use, keep modules and fiber patch cables covered using the included protective caps to ensure the connections stay clean.

	WARNING: DO NOT connect the device directly to a UFiber GPON module (UF-GP-B+ or UF-GP-C+). Doing so will damage the device optics. Ensure that the device’s received signal level never exceeds -8 dBm. Use a UFiber PLC Splitter to add attenuation as needed.
