Cleave the fiber. The FBC-012 cleaver
is recommended.However, any cleaver
capable of producing quality cleaves
between 8mm and 10mm of bare fiber
can be used.
For the FBC-012 cleaver:
load the fiber
into the handler. Place the handler into
the FBC-012 so that the edge of the fiber
coating contacts the edge of the left-hand
cleaver pad. Do this visually; do not slide the handler over against the stop. While holding the
handler in this position slowly press the cleaver’s handle as far as it will go. Gently release the
handle and remove the fiber handler. Open the handler and remove the fiber.
For the FBC-001 cleaver:
position the marks so that
the buffer coating lines up with the fiber guide’s stop
and the end of the fiber is secured under the spring-
loaded fiber clamp. Press down the cleaver arm until it
touches the fiber guide. This will "score" the fiber. Only
light pressure is necessary. Release the cleaver arm, then
gently flex the fiber guide to break the fiber. If the fiber
guide is flexed excessively to break the
fiber, a poor cleave will result.
Once the fiber is cleaved, do not clean the fiber, or allow it to contact anything. If the cleave does contact something, start again.

Depending on the connector type, add the appropriate hardware, additional strain relief,
and connector boots.
• FC, ST, and MT-RJ slide boot onto connector.
• SC connectors slide boot onto connector then insert connector into housing with the
housing "key" and connector "date code" aligned.
• LC connectors install the trigger before sliding boot onto connector.
