enters the tray at
the opposite side
as where the feeder sub unit is located. Mark the stripping point on the
sheath. The line in the tray indicates the stripping point, however if the stripping point is located in the transition
zone which is textured, this is acceptable. Strip the subunit to this mark and clean all fibers per standard practice.
2 Before making the fusion splice, identify where to store the splice protector, into the left holder or the right holder.
a
If the feeder sub unit is positioned at the right side
(most common situation), the sub unit of the branch
cable enters at the left side.
In this case, the first 12 splice protectors are positioned in the left splice protector holder (figure 2). The next 12 splice pro-
tectors are positioned in the right splice protector holder. Note that the fibers of splice protector 13 to 24 requires more
length to store the splice protector properly (a half turn more) (figure 3).
Note:
One groove in the splice protector holder can receive 2 splice protectors, stacked one upon another.
b
If the feeder sub unit is positioned at the left side
(or the feeder fiber comes from the uncut fiber storage
zone), the sub unit of the branch cable enters at the right side.
In this case, the first 12 splice protectors are positioned in the right splice protector holder. The next 12 splice protectors
are positioned in the left splice protector holder. Note that the fibers of splice protector 13 to 24 requires more length to
store the splice protector properly (a half turn more).

Important:
Make sure to respect always the minimum bend radius. This is obtained by storing the splice protector
holder on the correct side.
Note:
Make sure all fibers are properly positioned under the lips and avoid bulging of the fiber.
Note:
The fiber guidance pen (situated on top of the loop storage basket) can be used to position all the fibers
under the lips.

Fiber guidance pen placement
Store the fiber guidance pen back in its position (back side uncut storage zone).
Note:
Note that in the splice application, the fiber guidance pen can also be installed at the front side. It is advised
to store the fiber guidance pen in this position to facilitate further handling.
