2.0  Connector Preparation

2.1 

Prior to each termination, clean all tools, including 

fiber holder, with a lint-free cloth and reagent-grade 

isopropyl alcohol.

2.2 

Carefully remove connector body from the bag. 

Remove the dust caps from the front and rear of the 

connector body.

2.3 

Open the actuator button on the assembly tool base. 

Insert connector into coupling in the tool with white 

actuation cap facing upwards, pushing forward until 

it clicks.

3.0  Fiber Preparation

3.1 

Open all three angle cleaver clamps and levers.

3.2 

Carefully clean the cleaver clamps using a small 

brush.

3.3 

For 900 µm buffer fiber, cut the buffer. If the 900 µm 

slides easily from the fiber it is loose tube or semi-

tight buffered fiber.
