Jacketed Cable Strip
1. If using duplex cable, split the two cables
approximately 6" (152mm) or as needed.
2. Following the stripping dimensions, use the
marking pen to mark the cable jacket at 1.89”
(48mm) for LC, and 1.73" (44mm) for SC/ST,
from the end.
3. Strip off the cable at the jacket removal mark.
To reduce wear on the jacket stripper blades,
do not slide the blades along the aramid yarn.
Instead, use the tool to cut through the jacket,
then pull off the jacket by hand.
4. Insert the fiber through the small end of the appropriate boot for your specific cable type. Use the boot to fold the aramid
yarn back over the jacket, holding it out of the way.
5. Use the marking pen to place a buffer length mark on the buffer at 0.71” (18mm) for LC, and 0.55" (14mm) for SC/ST,
from the edge of the jacket. Place an insertion mark at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43" (11mm) for SC/ST, back from the
first mark.
IMPORTANT!
Due to printing variations, use a rigid scale for stripping dimensions, or the appropriate Pan-
duit laminated template.
6. Use the marking pen to place a mark on the buffer at the edge of the jacket. This mark should remain at the edge of the
jacket after buffer stripping.
7. Use the buffer stripper to strip the buffer to the buffer length mark.
250μm Coated Fiber Termination Using OptiCom Fanout Kit
1. Install the Fanout Kit (FO6CB, FO12CB) according to the installation instructions FS047.
2. Feed the 250μm coated fibers through the 900μm fanout tubing until at least 30mm of fiber
protrudes from the end of the tubing. Trim the coated fibers to length at 30mm.
