3.2 Fiber Preparation
3.2.1 Placing Protection Sleeve over Fiber
Clean optical fiber with alcohol-impregnated gauze or lint-free tissue approximately
100mm from the tip. Place the protection sleeve over the fiber.
Clean optical fiber with alcohol-impregnated gauze or lint-free tissue. Dust
particulates can enter inside the protection sleeve and might result in a future fiber
break or attenuation increase.
Make sure fiber is passed into the protection sleeve.
When protection sleeve core tube is longer than the length of outer sheath, the
excess part should be cut off to avoid micro bend after heating.
3.2.2 Stripping and Cleaning Fiber
Strip outer coating 30 to 40 mm from its tip with a stripping tool. Clean the fiber with
alcohol (Purity ≥99%) impregnated gauze or lint-free tissue thoroughly.
