6- OR 12-BUFFER TUBE FANOUT KIT
3.2 Preparing the Buffer Tube
1. Tape the cable end to a work surface so that the marks on the buffer tubes
can reach the work surface edge (see
Figure 3-4
).
2. Select the first buffer tube. Use a buffer stripping tool to remove the buffer
tube back to the mark made in permanent marker.
3. Tape down the buffer tube that will receive the Buffer Tube Fanout. Make
sure 1 to 2 inches of tube overhang the work surface edge (see
Figure 3-4
).

4. Wipe the filling compound from the exposed fibers with a d’Gel wipe (
see
Figure 3-5
). Use a clean, lint-free tissue to thoroughly dry each fiber.
Figure 3-5. Cleaning the Filling Compound from the Exposed Fibers.
5. Run a dry finger along each fiber to check for any filling compound residue.
If residue is present on the fiber, repeat step 4.
