4. Clean the stripped portion of the fiber with an
alcohol fiber wipe or lint--free tissue moistened with
isopropyl alcohol greater than 91% (99% preferred)
to remove the fiber coating residue. DO NOT touch
the stripped portion of the fiber after cleaning.
B. Cleaving the Fiber
Fibers must be terminated as soon as the
cleaving and inspection process is complete;
otherwise, damage to the fibers could result.
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 6--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. If the fiber does not cleave,
repeat the process starting with Step 3 of
Paragraph 3.2.A.
