Working in the YourX Terminal
This instruction manual describes the recommended installation of the YourX multi-port terminal utilizing various ber drop
applications.
Opening the Cover
Pull the 8 tabs down from cover toward base. (Figure 1)
The lid may be difcult to remove due to gasket sealing.
Figure 1
DO NOT use a sharp item (snips, screwdriver, etc.) to remove.
Utilize a stiff at piece of plastic, like a wedge, to help break the seal.
Using the sharp items may damage the gasket.

• “Drop only” where there is a choice of one 14mm or one 10M port used for feed (MPO input) and designated
number of ports for distribution (Figure 1).
• “Drop and Express” congured terminals will utilize both “A and B” ports for feed (MPO input) to terminal with
expressing (MPO output) the un-used bers to the next terminal in line (Figure 2).

Mounting Application
Pedestal Mounting
The YourX terminal can be mounted for various applications. These directions are for basic installation in the outside plant.
Your application may vary from our basic design installation method.
Terminal base is mounted,
remove lid for access.
Terminal lid is mounted,
loosen thumbscrew to
free terminal from bracket,
remove lid for access.
NOTE: The YourX terminal is capable of tting into as small as an 8 X 8 pedestal but due to room restrictions we
recommend a minimum of 10 X 10.
Buried Deployment Methods
YOURx Terminal can be placed in:
Pedestals
(min 10x10)
Vaults (w/o brackets)

Figure 1
Step 1: Excavation
Plan excavation approximately twelve
to sixteen inches (12” - 16”) longer/
wider and six to eight inches (6” - 8”)
deeper than the actual dimensions of
the vault being installed. (Figure 1)
Site Preparation
Ensure that national – local electrical and building codes, OSHA and company safety work rules are observed and provi-
sions made for street ags, barricades and cones. Secure permits as required by city and company.
Figure 3Figure 2
Step 2:Drainage Base
Pour gravel base to a depth of three to
ve inches at (3” - 5”) the base of the
excavation. (Figure 2)
Note: Base material should be crushed
rock 3/4” and smaller, and not “river
rock” or “round stone.”
Step 3:Install Vault
Guide microduct through opening and
lower vault into excavation on top of
base material and adjust height to
grade. (Figure 3)
Vault Installation
WARNING: Buried Telecommunications Cables. Make sure to call 811 a few days before digging.
Calling 811 will route to the local one-call center and ensure that utilities in the area of installation
will be located and marked.

Step4:Backll
Use soil to backll between the vault
and the excavation wall, tamping down
to compact soil. (Figure 4)
Step 5:Route Duct
Deterimine desired length of all ducts
entering the terminal. (Figure 5)
Note: Multiple ducts should be bound
together with vinyl tape for easier
manipulation.
Step 6:Prepare Duct
Use a rotary cutting tool to all ducts to
equal length. Strip back outer sheath
and tone wire six inches (6”) or
amount needed to terminate to bond/
locating bar. Use de-burring tool to
chamfer end of duct. (Figure 6)
Figure 7 Figure 8
Step 7:Prepare Ports
Remove tabs from desired terminal
FlexPorts. De-burr FlexPort with snips,
knife or de-burring tool to remove
rough edges. MUST de-burr entirely
for FlatMPO bullet to t through port.
(Figure 7)
Note: Tab removal may require pliers
Step 8:Seat Duct
Feed pull string from the underside of
the terminal through port and seat duct
fully into the coupler. (Figure 8)
Step 9:Secure Pull String
Tie off pull string to FlexCartridge to
prevent it from migrating back into the
microduct.
Note: Ports loaded with exports are marked in silver.
