2. Basic splicing operation
1: Open the oven lid and oven clamps. Open the hood and all lids of the fiber
holders. Make the left hand oven clamp linked with the oven lid and the
right hand oven clamp independent.
2: Take out the cable and slide the fiber protection sleeve onto the fiber.
Make sure that the protection sleeve is centered over the splice and at
least 5mm of the sleeve overlaps the cable sheath at each end of the
splice.

At least 5mm of the sleeve must overlap the cable sheath at each end of the splice.
Pay attention not to bend
and flex the cable. Failure
to do so can cause the
splice to break.

the cable end, close the left hand
oven clamp and oven lid. Start
the heat shrink process.
5: After the heat shrink process
is complete, open the oven lid
and oven clamps and take out
the cable.
