5. With the connector assembly in the cable holder
assembly, position the ferrule or termination cover
in the upper cavity of the front die and the plunger
in the upper cavity of the rear die. See Figure 4,
Detail C.
The arrows marked on the front die indicate the
direction that the ferrule or termination cover
must be pointing when the connector is
positioned in that cavity. For proper placement,
and to avoid damage to the fiber, observe the
direction of the arrows. Refer to Figure 4, Detail
C and Figure 5, Detail A.
6. Gently push the fiber toward the connector
assembly to make sure that the fiber is still
bottomed, then slowly squeeze the tool handles
together until the ratchet releases. Allow the
handles to open fully, and remove the connector
from the dies.
7. Position the plunger of the connector assembly
in the first (smallest) cavity of the front die with the
knurl against the edge of the groove in the die and
the ferrule or termination cover pointing in the
direction of the arrow. See Figure 5, Detail A.
8. Slowly squeeze the tool handles together until
the ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open
fully, and remove the connector assembly from the
die.
9. Slide the bare buffer boot over the plunger until
the boot butts against the connector assembly. See
Figure 5, Detail B.
10. Remove the connector assembly from the
cable holder assembly.
11. Align the key of the connector housing with the
chamfered edges of the connector assembly. Slide
the housing over the assembly until it snaps in
place. See Figure 5, Detail C.
DO NOT force the components together. They
are designed to fit only one way.
The assembly procedure for 250--
m
