Fiber Preparation
Placing Protection Sleeve over Fiber
Place the protection sleeve over the fiber. Clean optical fiber with alcohol-soaked gauze or lint-free tissue approximately
100 mm (4 in) from the tip.
Note: Splice-on connectors are pre-cleaved. Do not attempt to clean the fiber on the splice-on connector. Follow the instructions
supplied with the splice-on connectors.
•
Clean optical fiber with alcohol-soaked gauze or lint-free tissue. Dust particulates can enter
the protection sleeve, resulting in a fiber break or attenuation increase.
•
Make sure fiber is passed through the protection sleeve.
•
When protection sleeve core tube is longer than the length of outer sheath, cut off excess
sleeve to avoid micro bend after heating.
Stripping and Cleaning Fiber
Use the supplied fiber stripping tool to strip the outer coating 30 to 40 mm (1.25 to 1.5 in) from its tip. Thoroughly clean the fiber
with alcohol-soaked (99% or greater) gauze or lint-free tissue.
