An IFC clamp consists of clamp halves that fit around the IFC.
Various sizes of IFC are accommodated using various layers
(or leaves) of bushing between the cable and clamp.
The bushing kit contains a cylinder of bushing leaves, as
shown on the right. Measure the diameter of the IFC and then
remove and discard that much from the interior of the cylinder.
The remaining bushing halves are used between the clamp
halves and the IFC, as shown in Figure 43.
6. For unprotected ribbon fiber, place ~60 in. (~1½ m) of flex tubing over exposed ribbon. The
end of the flex tubing should be pushed back to the IFC clamp.
