1.0 Summary
1.1
3M
™
Fibrlok
™
II Angle Fiber Splice was designed for the splicing of any combination of 250 µm and 900 µm fibers
while the 3M
™
Fibrlok
™
250 µm Angle Fiber Splice specifically splices 250 µm fiber with a smaller form factor. The
Fibrlok splices keyed, angle cleave fibers for excellent optical reflection performance. Each angle fiber splice has a
green end cap to identify it as the angle splice version after installation.
The following installation instructions shown in sections 2, 3 and 4 apply to both Fibrlok II and Fibrlok 250 µm. Both
are installed with the same procedure and tools. Sections 5 and 6 are specifically for Fibrlok II 2529-AS. Section 5
relates to the repositioning of the fiber if a high splice loss is seen. This is possible only using Fibrlok II 2529-AS.
Section 6 has recommendations for the management of 900 µm fiber in a splice tray.
