Optical fiber splicing
2. Basic splicing operation
1: Clean the fiber coating thoroughly to
remove cable gel or other stains.
2: Strip Approx. 30~40mm of the fiber
coating with a jacket remover. (An
example shows use of Sumitomo JR-M03
jacket remover and the strip length shown
below applies to any stripping tools. If you
use other model, please refer to its
operation manual.)
*If the stripping length is too long, the fiber
cleaver cannot collect an off-cut in the off-
cut collector.
Stripping length= Approx. 30~40mm
Keep the fiber squeaky clean.
Fiber protection sleeve
Use the correct groove of the remover
according to the fiber coating diameter.

See figure <1>.
3: Repeat the stripping process for the
other fiber.
4: Clean the bare fiber from the end of
the fiber coating with a lint-free gauze
pad moistened with pure alcohol. Pull
the bare fiber through the gauze pad.
Rotate the fiber by 90 degrees to
remove any coating residue. Do not
reuse the gauze pad that was used.

<1> Check the fiber coating diameter.
The JR-M03 strips approx. 25mm
of fiber coating at a time. To strip
30~40mm of the fiber coating,
repeat the stripping operation.
