the adapter key slot as follows:
• FC connectors—Align the housing key with the slot in the adapter. Push the connector into the adapter and
screw the threaded cap clockwise onto the adapter to complete the connection.
• SC connector—Align the housing key with the slot in the adapter. Push the connector into the adapter until
a click is heard/felt, indicating that the latching system is engaged. When connector is fully engaged, the white
