1. General
This procedure outlines the use of the CamSplice and TKT-CAMSPLICE-CC Toolkit for splicing
single-mode optical fibers (see Table 1 on page 2). This document describes and illustrates
splicing both loose tube and tight-buffered fibers with the CamSplice Mechanical Splicer.
The CamSplice™ mechanical splicer accepts either 250 or 900 micron fibers and has been
optimized specifically for Corning ClearCurve™ fiber. No adhesives, special tools, or power-
operated equipment are required for splicing operations.
Each CamSplice unit is shipped ready for splicing in an "open position" with its cams 180 degrees
apart. To secure the fibers, the cams are rotated into their closed position. When completed, the
beveled surfaces of the CamSplice's center section and its two cams are aligned with each other,
providing visual confirmation that the splice is secured.
IMPORTANT: Read and understand this procedure completely before starting a CamSplice
assembly.
For best results, keep the CamSplices clean. Do not remove from packaging
until ready for use. Do not rotate the cams until the fibers are inserted.
