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.
