A. Preparing 900- m m Easy Strip or Semi- Tight
Buffered Fiber
(Figure 12)
1. Mark a circumferential line (approximately 90 _
around) 4 mm from one end of the clear tubing.
See Figure 12, Detail A.
2. Place the inner eyelet, small diameter end first,
inside the clear tubing with the flange of the inner
eyelet against the end of the clear tubing. See
Figure 12, Detail A.
3. Slide the strain relief (small diameter end first),
clear tubing (with the inner eyelet inside), and
crimp eyelet onto the fiber. See Figure 12, Detail B.
4. Remove the plunger dust cap from the
connector assembly, and discard.
5. Insert the small (white) tubing into the plunger of
the connector assembly until the tubing bottoms.
See Figure 12, Detail C.
6. Push the connector assembly into the holder of
the cable holder assembly with the termination
cover facing outward. See Figure 12, Detail D.
Make sure that the connector butts against the lip
on the arm of the cable holder. Slide the fiber into
the channel marked “BUFFER. Make sure that the
tip of the fiber butts against the end of the channel.
7. Mark the fiber at each cross--slot of the channel.
See Figure 12, Detail D. Also, mark the fiber at the
end of the channel. Then, remove the fiber from
the channel.
8. Using the strip tool, strip the 250-- m m fiber
coating and buffer to the first mark. It is
recommended holding the strip tool at an angle to
the fiber coating and stripping the coating in three
sections. Refer to Figure 12, Detail E. Clean the
fiber with an alcohol fiber wipe to remove the fiber
coating residue.
9. Using the strip tool, apply slightly less pressure
than when stripping 125-- m m fiber, and strip the
buffer only (leave the 250-- m m fiber coating in
place) to the second mark. Practice this first.
10. Mark the 250-- m m fiber coating at the shoulder
of the 900-- m m buffer. Strip the buffer to the third
mark.
Before using the strip tool, make sure that the “V”
opening is clean; otherwise the fiber could break.
Only use isopropyl alcohol on the tool.
B. Cleaving
(Figure 13)
1. Open the fiber clamp of the fiber optic cleaver.
Press the button, and slide the carriage back
(toward the fiber clamp). Then move the fiber slide
back until it stops.
2. Place the stripped fiber into the slot so that the
end of the buffer is at the 8--mm marking. See
Figure 3, Detail A.
3. While applying pressure on the buffer, carefully
slide the fiber slide forward (toward the carriage)
until it stops. See Figure 3, Detail B.
4. Gently close the fiber clamp, and slide the
carriage forward. DO NOT touch the button while
sliding the carriage. See Figure 3, Detail C.
5. Open the fiber clamp, and move the fiber slide
back until it stops.
6. Remove the cleaved fiber, and properly dispose
of the scrap fiber.
DO NOT attempt to clean the fiber after it has
been cleaved.
