OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Buffer Stripping Steps 250μm Coated Fiber Strip 1. Install the boot. Insert the fiber end through the small end of the boot. Slide the boot back out of the way. 2. Place one build-up tube (F250BT) onto the fiber and slide it back out of the way. 3. Place an insertion mark on the build-up tube at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43” (11mm) for SC/ST, from the end of the tube closest to the end of the fiber. 4. Use buffer stripper to strip at least 1.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Jacketed Cable Strip 1. If using duplex cable, split the two cables approximately 6" (152mm) or as needed. 2. Following the stripping dimensions, use the marking pen to mark the cable jacket at 1.89” (48mm) for LC, and 1.73" (44mm) for SC/ST, from the end. 3. Strip off the cable at the jacket removal mark. To reduce wear on the jacket stripper blades, do not slide the blades along the aramid yarn.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual 3. To reduce the amount of fiber movement, place a drop of adhesive (Loctite 401 or equivalent Cyanoacrylate adhesive) at the point that the coated fibers exit the 3mm cable jacket. 250μm coated fibers need to be taut between cable jacket and the fanout tube assembly. 4. Place the 900μm boots onto the fanout tubing and slide them back out of the way. 5. Place an insertion mark on the fanout tubing, at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Cleave Fiber Steps Prep Stripped Fiber 1. Remove and dispose of any remaining fiber scraps in the cleaving tool. 2. Clean bare fiber using an isopropyl alcohol (92% concentration) soaked lint-free wipe. The fiber should be free of all coating and residue. To prevent contamination, do not set fiber down or allow it to touch anything after cleaning. 3. Hold the cleaving tool in your hand and depress the fiber clamp lever to raise the fiber clamp.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual IMPORTANT: Do not clean fiber after cleaving. Replace the ceramic blade in the cleaving tool after every 1000 cleaves, or if installation yield decreases. Replacement blades (FJQCVRB) are available.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual OptiCam 2 Tool Operation - LC Select Connector Options 1. Use the navigation button to navigate to the menus and to “Connector Type”, and select the correct connector options: Menu > Connector Type. 2.

After passing the background test, the Insert Fiber command will display automatically.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Cam Connector LC Camming requires that the whole connector rotate. When the screen displays the CAM & Test command, A) Maintain gentle forward pressure on the field fiber, and B) “Cam” the connector, then select the Next arrow to perform the test. SC Camming requires that the key “Fin” rotates, and the rest of the connector remains in place. Note: This image shows the new metal ferrule adapter for LC launch cords.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual If the IL does not meet your project requirements, select the cancel icon and repeat the fiber termination process for that connector ID. Selecting forward advances the connector ID number for the tool to do another termination. In both cases, the results will be recorded in the tool for later retrieval. The OptiCam connector can be reused up to three times.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Assemble Connector and Boot LC Connector and Boot 1. Grip the boot by the large end and push the boot forward onto the grooved area of the backbone until it is against the flange. The insertion mark should be at the end of backbone. 2. Clean the ferrule end face with an alcohol soaked wipe and then a dry wipe. Place the dust cap over the ferrule end. 3.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual SC Connector and Boot 1. Grip the boot by the large end and push the boot forward onto the grooved area of the backbone until it is against the flange.

OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual ST Connector and Boot 1. Grip the boot by the large end and push the boot forward onto the grooved area of the backbone until it is against the flange. The insertion mark should be at end of backbone. 2. Clean the ferrule end face with a dry wipe. Place the dust cap over the ferrule end. 3. Slide the boot back to release the aramid yarn. Cut the aramid yarn approximately 0.20" (5mm) past the flange.
OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual Tool Care and Maintenance 1. The LC connector port and data port protective dust caps must be installed when the tool is not in use to prevent contamination. 2. The camera aperture should be cleaned periodically with a soft, lint free cloth or with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust and debris which may interfere with proper camera operation. Avoid any scratches on the surface. The LC connector port can be cleaned with clean dry air. Do not use alcohol. 3.
