Step 3:
After removing the required length of outer jacketing of the tight-buffered pigtail, carefully
cut the aramid yarn off with scissors at the end of the jacketing.
Step 4:
If using jacketed cables,
remove a minimum of 175 mm (6.9 inch) of jacket on each side
of the splice to make room for splicing (Figure 3).
Step 5:
If using boots, slide the 900 micron
boot onto the fiber until it is out of the
way (Figure 4).
NOTE:
Use the 900 micron boot for 900 micron
tight-buffered, 900 micron furcated and
250 micron direct termination
applications.
Step 6:
For termination on bare 250 micron
fiber, also slide on the furcation tube
provided with the CamSplice until the
tube is out of the way.
Step 7:
Using the Strip Length Gauge and permanent marker, measure and place a visual mark
at the dimensional markings shown in Figure 3.
Step 8:
To expose bare glass, remove the 44 mm section of
buffer and coating in two steps using the Dual-Hole
Stripping Tool (Figure 5).
• For the 900 micron buffer, use the large V-notch.
• For the 250 micron coating, use the small V-notch.
Step 9:
Clean the bare fiber with two passes of a Fiber Wipe dampened with Fiber Optic Cleaning
Fluid. Do not touch the bare fiber after cleaning it. Do not remove the visual mark.
Step 10:
Proceed to Section 5, Cleaving Fiber.
CAUTION:
Fiber Optic Cleaning Fluid can cause irritation to eyes on contact. In case of eye
contact, immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhaling fumes may be
harmful. Use with adequate ventilation. In case of ingestion, consult a physician.
