Note:
When making a repair, cut cable back to remove any damaged fibers.
3. Make a slit from the mark to the end of the cable with the jacket remover tool.
4. Prepare to ribbonize 1.97 in (50mm) of fiber. Fold jacket and strengthening yarn back as shown and secure in
position with clip or adhesive tape.
Step 2
– Ribbonize the Fiber
1. Rotate the clear plastic lever arm of the ribbonizer clockwise until it stops. Slide each fiber into position under
lever as outlined below.
2. Arrange the 12 fibers to create a ribbon.
Ribbonize starting with the blue fiber and follow the standard color code (BOGBSWRBYVRA) as shown.
Standard Color Code
Use the platform scale to place jacket mark at scale e
dge (“0”). Insert fibers into ribbonizer, one at a time
using the color guide. Maintain fiber color order. Clean fibers with lab-strength alcohol wipe.
Note:
Before proceeding, verify the color order and ensure that no fibers are crossed or out of order.
Inspect fiber order with magnifying glass to ensure color coding accuracy.
3. After all the fibers are in place in the ribbonizer, apply a single line of adhesive on white lint-free wipe.
Sandwich wipe with adhesive around the arranged fibers. While pressing down, wipe adhesive on fibers,
spreading adhesive about 1.97 in (50mm) from end as shown.
Note:
Inspect before and after adhesive is applied to ensure fibers do not cross.
