Procedure
These general instructions are for reference purposes.
Contact the connector manufacturer for instructions for
specific connectors.
This procedure is for ST
®
and SC style connectors.
1. Remove the connector from its package. Slide the
strain relief boot, small end first, onto the cable.
Then slide the crimp sleeve, small end first, onto the
cable.
2. Place the cable onto the template and mark the
jacket according to the measurements shown.
Note: Stripping lengths for connectors may vary.
Stripping templates may be obtained from
the connector manufacturer.
3. Starting at the mark closest to the fiber end, remove
the outer jacket using the jacket remover. Use the
scissors to trim the aramid yarn (Kevlar
®
) to the
same mark.
4. At the next mark, cut and remove the outer jacket to
expose the required length of new aramid yarn.
5. Use the template and mark the buffer.
6. In small increments - 5 to 10 mm (1/4" to 3/8") -
remove the buffer and acrylate coating with the
buffer strippers.
7. Place the cable onto the template to check the
dimensions.
Note: For distribution style fiber, mark and remove
the buffer.
8. Using a wipe saturated with alcohol, clean the glass
fiber. Dip the glass portion of the stripped fiber into
the OptiCure™ Primer and set aside to dry for at
least one minute.
Note: You may use the brush to apply the primer.
Be sure to cover all exposed glass.
