f) Using a wipe, wick away the excess adhesive

that surrounds the protruding fiber.

Note: For distribution style cable that does not

include a crimp sleeve, follow the same

procedure except for c and d. Instead,

hold the connector and cable in place for

approximately 10 seconds before

securing the strain relief boot.

10. Lightly score the outside edge of the fiber near the

base of the protruding fiber with the hand scribe,

as shown. Being very careful of the fiber debris, use

a thumb and index finger to gently lift the excess

fiber off of the connector. If the fiber does not lift of

easily, repeat this step. Dispose of fiber end in the

container provided.

Procedure (cont’d)

11. Perform an “air polish” by holding the connector and

gently brushing the non-shiny side of the 5 µm

polishing paper in a circular motion against the

ferrule endface, as shown. Perform ten to twenty

circles of the polishing motion.

12. Place the polishing pad onto a flat surface. Place

the 5 µm polishing paper, shiny side down, onto the

polishing pad. With the connector in the polishing

tool, polish the end of the fiber in a “traveling figure-8”

motion. Begin with very light pressure and increase

pressure as it begins to wear.
