3. To reduce the amount of fiber movement, place a drop of
adhesive (Loctite 401 or equivalent Cyanoacrylate adhesive)
at the point that the coated fibers exit the 3mm cable jacket.
250μm coated fibers need to be taut between cable jacket
and the fanout tube assembly.
4. Place the 900μm boots onto the fanout tubing and slide them
back out of the way.
5. Place an insertion mark on the fanout tubing, at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43" (11mm) for SC/ST, back from the end of
the tubing.
6. Place a coating removal mark on the coated fiber 3mm from the end of the fanout tubing. Strip the coating up to the coat-
ing removal mark. Note: The 3mm of coating extending from the end of the tubing is intended to compensate for fiber
movement within the fanout tubing during termination.
Buffer Stripping
1. Remove no more than 1/4" (6mm) of buffer at a time to avoid breaking the fiber.
2. Hold the buffer stripper such that the tool is at a 90-degree angle to the fiber to ensure
clean cut of buffer.
3. Position the fiber in the tool's V-notches. Squeeze the handles and pull toward the end
of the fiber.
