NJ001 fusion splicer has very short V-groove length to
accommodate with short cleaving length of fiber.
Set the fiber with short cleaving length on to the V-groove, as
shown below.
In case of splicing 900µm coating fiber, if the fiber has curls or
bendings, it may be difficult to put such fiber on to V-groove as
the fiber jumps out from the V-groove.
In such case, it may be better to put the fiber edge in a
downward direction (flip fiber with 180 degree).
If the fiber has curls or bendings, it may make it difficult to sit
properly in the V-groove. Please remove the curls or bending
before preparing the fiber, and then place it in the V-grooves.
