This is a critical step for obtaining a successful termination.
Add forward light pressure. (A slight bow in the fiber behind the
inner housing assembly will maintain pressure between the fiber
end face and the pre-polished fiber. An excessive kink in the buf-
fer behind the inner housing assembly may prevent the fiber end
face from contacting the pre-polished fiber.)
Notice that the red
glow of the ferrule has diminished so that it is barely notice-
able or disappears.
This identifies that the cleaved end of the
field fiber is in face-to-face contact with the pre-polished fiber
end inside the ferrule assembly. The insertion mark is used as
an additional visual aid to verify proper insertion depth. When
the red glow diminishes, the insertion mark should be even with
the back edge of the inner housing assembly.
Note:
If the red glow has not diminished or diminishes only
slightly (and the insertion mark is not even with the back edge of
the inner housing assembly), then face-to-face contact has not
yet occurred. Withdraw the field fiber slightly and rotate it while
re-inserting. Do not rotate the fiber after it has bottomed out
against the pre-polished fiber stub. If, after re-inserting, there is
still a substantial glow at the ferrule then the fiber cleave may not
be optimal. Return to section 3 on Page 4.
5.3
While maintaining light pressure and verifying that the red glow
is barely noticeable, crimp the inner housing assembly
one time
.
Squeeze handles together until the controlled cycle mechanism
releases and handles open. At this point, the red glow should still
be diminished.
5.4
Being careful not to pull on the fiber, remove the inner housing
assembly by holding the assembly, not the fiber, from the .100"
hex crimp pocket. Place buffer crimp area of the inner housing
assembly (smallest diameter, see illustration on page 1) in the
.048" crimp pocket.
5.5
Crimp the buffer crimp area
one time
. Squeeze handles together
until the controlled cycle mechanism releases and the handles
open.
Note: Do not crimp on flared area of inner housing assembly
.
5.6
Switch the FVFLY to the “OFF” position and remove the Ferrule
Adapter end of the FVFLPCY patch cord from the connector. Set
the Panduit Crimp Tool, FVFLY, and patch cord down carefully
on a clean surface.
5.7
Remove fiber from cleaving tool. Depress the fiber clamp lever
to release the fiber so that the fiber scrap can be removed and
properly disposed.

ASSEMBLING CONNECTOR AND BOOT
6.1
Push the boot forward onto the grooved area of the backbone
until it is against the flange.
6.2
Align the chamfers on the front of the inner housing assembly
with the chamfers at the front of the outer housing.
6.3
Push the inner housing assembly into the outer housing assembly until it snaps into place. Once in place the
outer housing should be able to move freely back and forth over the inner housing and boot. Clean the ferrule
end face with an alcohol soaked wipe, and then a dry wipe. Place dust cap over the ferrule end.
