Inward – 250Šm

Outward – 900Šm

3.0Fiber Preparation

3.01Remove the minimum length of fiber required to prepare and splice the fibers.

3.02Strip approximately 1 to 2 inches (25 mm to 51 mm) of plastic coating from the fiber using a mechanical stripper.

Note:

The stripper should be in good operating condition to

 

prevent scratches or other damage to the glass cladding.

3.03Clean the bare glass by pulling the fiber through an alcohol soaked lint-free wipe. This will remove any fragments or dirt remaining on the fiber.

Note:

Do not wipe the fibers more than two times, and limit the

 

time that the bare fiber is exposed to the atmosphere.

Note:

Carefully follow health, safety and environmental

 

information on container label or Material Data Sheet for

 

isopropyl alcohol being used.

3.04Cleave fiber to 12.5 mm ¹0.5 mm (0.492 ¹0.020 inches).

Important: The Fibrlok™ II 2529 Universal Splice uses a cleave length of

12.5mm ¹0.5 mm (0.492 ¹0.020 inches) for both 250 Šm and 900 Šm coated fibers.

Note:

The cleaver should be in good operating condition and used

 

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is

 

recommended that the cleaver provide a consistent cleave-

 

to-coating length within ¹0.5 mm. In addition, standard

 

cleavers should produce cleaved ends within 2¹of

 

perpendicular and free of major defects. Cleavers

 

specifically designed to produce controlled, angled cleaves

 

of greater than 2¹may also be used with the Fibrlok™ II

 

Optical Splice.
