2. Basic splicing operation
This section outlines fiber preparation procedures in using a fiber cleaver with a single
fiber adapter (AP-FC6SA). If your fiber cleaver does not have the single fiber adapter or
a single fiber adapter attached to your cleaver is AP-FC6M, please refer to the procedures 2.
2: Remove the fiber coating from
the mark using a jacket
remover.
1: Put a mark at 10~12mm away
from the cable end.
4: Place the cable in the groove for
drop cable on the cleaver, aligning
the cable end with the end of the
single fiber adapter. Cleave the
fiber referring to the cleaver
instructions.
6: Repeat step 1~5 for the other
cable.
5: Load the cable in the fiber holder.
Make sure that the cable sheath
touches the groove.
Close the bigger lid of the holder
first, and then close the smaller lid.
3: Clean the bare fiber from the end
of the fiber coating with a gauze
pad moistened with pure alcohol.
Pull the bare fiber through the
gauze pad and rotate the fiber to
remove any coating residue.
