Preparation of fiber
Cleaning optical fiber
Clean optical fiber with alcohol-moistened gauze or lint-free tissue approximately
500mm from the tip. Dust and particulates from the fiber coating can enter inside
the protection sleeve and might result in a future fiber break or transmission
attenuation.
Placing protection sleeve over fiber
Place the protection sleeve over the Right side fiber.
Fiber coating stripping and cleaning of bare fiber
Strip the outer coating 30 to 40 mm from fiber tip with a stripping tool. Clean the
fiber with alcohol moistened gauze or lint-free tissue thoroughly. Frequently
replace cleaning gauze to insure splice quality.
