Mounting

11.SECURE THE STRAIN RELIEF BOOT

Use the syringe to apply two dabs of epoxy onto the larger half of the crimp ring (Fig. C12). While holding the load adapter, slide the boot up over the crimp ring and rotate it to evenly distribute the epoxy.

The boot should cover only the crimp ring, not the plastic body of the connector.

Note: Be sure to wipe away any excess epoxy using a dry lint-free cloth.

For SC Connectors

Be sure to align the key on the boot with the flat, smooth side of the connector (Fig. C13). Attach an alignment clip over the boot and connector body to hold the boot in alignment while the epoxy cures . The back of the alignment clip should cover the key on the boot

(Fig. C14). (If the clips spread with use, pinch them closed while warm.)

12.EPOXY CURING

When the oven is heated to the proper temperature, the heater light will go off. Place the connector and load adapter into one of the oven's ports (Fig. C15). After 20 minutes, remove the connector from the oven and place it in the curing stand to cool.

Note: Do not score the fiber before the epoxy is cool and hard.

Note: Heat curing this epoxy in the 3M oven is required in order to meet the Bellcore temperature requirement of +85ϖC as outlined in TR-NWT-000326 Issue 3. If compliance to this specification is not necessary, the 3M epoxy can also be cured overnight at room temperature.
