Loading CamSplice into Tool
Step 1:
Position the assembly tool with the
CORNING logo on your left. Place
both levers (Figure 1) of the assembly
tool in their vertical position.
Step 2:
Slide the CamSplice into the right end
of the assembly tool (Figure 2) until it
butts against the tool’s left stop.
Approximately 8 mm (1/3 inch) of the
splice should protrude from the left end
of the tool.

Preparing Cable and Fiber
WARNING:
Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying
laser light.
Laser light is invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly
does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will not close involuntarily as when
viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina of the eye is
possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for
an eye examination immediately.
NOTE:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing.
Do not
bend the cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.
Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not crush
the cable or allow it to kink.
Doing so may cause damage than can alter the
transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
Cable and fiber preparation is the same for all cable types,
except
for Step 4, which pertains only to
jacketed cable types.
Step 1:
Remove the cable sheath and prepare the cable for splicing according to its
manufacturer’s procedures.
Step 2:
Refer to the documentation provided with the splice tray or hardware in which the
CamSplice will be installed for sheath removal lengths.
