4.  Let adhesive dry for 45 seconds. Rotate the lever arm counterclockwise and release ribbonized fiber from 

ribbonizer. 

Note:

  Inspect fiber order with magnifying glass. 

5. 

Measure 5.13 in (130mm) from the jacket mark to end of the fibers and trim the ribbonized fiber end 
evenly.  

Measure to ensure 1.19 in (30mm) of ribbonized fiber still remains at the end as shown. 

Note: 

 Trim only after the adhesive has dried. 

 

 

Maintaining Polarity Method B for Fiber Splicing of QWIK MPO Connectors 

Please  note  that  for  repair  and  restoration,  it  is  important  to  understand  the  polarity  configuration  of 

CommScope’s

 cable assemblies. 

Important:  CommScope trunks follow method B fiber polarity. 

1.  For 

Commscope

  cable  assemblies  with  the  connector  keys  facing  up,  channel  1  on  End  A  of  the  cable 

assembly always goes to channel 12 on End B of cable assembly.  
Likewise channel 12 on End A goes to channel 1 on End B of cable assembly.  

2.  This represents method B polarity per TIA 568C3 standards. 

3.  When  repairing  end  A  of  a  female  trunk  cable  assembly,  the  blue  fiber  should  always  be  positioned  as 

channel 1 (top/ far side in the splicer).  
When  repairing  end  B,  the  blue  fiber  should  always  be  positioned  as  channel  12  (bottom/  near  side  of the 
splicer). See Table 1, next page.   
Ferrules  on  female  trunks  should  be  inserted  into  the  housings  (keys  up)  with  the  ferrule  window  facing 
down. See Table 2, page 10. 

Note:

  Fiber Ribbon Splicing with Method B Polarity Appendix on the last page shows an example of the Method 

B polarity MPO connector splice.
