4.2.4 Preparation of the Fiber Ends
Proper preparation of the fiber ends is necessary before splicing. This operation
includes stripping, cleaning and cleaving processes.
As the fiber ends condition before splicing affects the quality of splice directly,
refer to the following instructions carefully.
[NOTE] The FSM-20PM
II
can splice only single fibers. In a case of ribbon
fiber, divide the ribbon fiber into single fibers.
1. Threading the Fiber through Splice Protector
When a splice protector is used to protect the complete splice, threading the
fiber on one side through the splice protector is required in advance (before
preparation of the fiber ends). If the splice protector is installed after
preparation of the fiber ends, the fiber would be contaminated, and splice
result would be bad.
[NOTE] The tube heater SH-7 and the splice protector are optional
accessories.
2. Removing the Coating
Remove the coating with an approved fiber coating stripping tool.
3. Cleaning of the Fiber
Wipe the bare fiber several times with a clean lint free tissue dampened with
alcohol.
