CHAPTER 3: Installation
Figure 3-3. Cable Strip Length.
Strip the cable according to the cable manufacturer’s instructions for removing
the sheath. Determine the cable central member and strength member yarn
lengths needed to secure the cable from the instructions provided with the
hardware.
If you are working with a grease or gel-filled water-blocked cable, use a d’Gel
wipe (or a tissue soaked with d’Gel liquid) to remove any flooding compound from
the buffer tubes.
Depending on the kit you’re using, measure 35 inches (88.9 cm) or 46 inches
(116.8 cm) of buffer tube from the end of the tubes. Use a permanent marker to
mark each tube at that spot.
CAUTION
To minimize the chance of breaking a fiber, follow the remaining steps
in this procedure one buffer tube at a time.
