Make sure to use the suited fiber holder according to the diameter of
the fiber coating. Place the fiber in such a manner that the fiber
coatings removal edge matches the holder convex end as below.
In the case of splicing with 5mm cleaving length for NJ001,
clean the fiber carefully, especially around the ragged edge of
the coating to remove the residue.
If the residue remains at edge and such fiber is put into the
V-groove, it may cause the axis offset subsequently.
5.
Cleave the fiber so that 10mm length of bare fiber extends past the
fiber coating. Refer to the manual of the cleaver for details.
Do not clean the bare fiber after it has been cleaved.
Do not let the bare fiber tip come in contact with any surfaces.
Do not look into a fiber with the naked eye during operation. Wearing
protection glasses is recommended.
