3.15 Verify the 8 mm cleave length again by using the length

gauge on the assembly base. The 8 mm cleave length is

measured from the end of the 900 µm buffer to the end of

the cleaved ﬁber. On semi-tight buffer ﬁber, the 250 µm

coating may protrude 1 mm past the 900 µm semi-tight

buffer. Re-strip, clean and cleave the ﬁber if necessary to

meet length requirements.

3.16 Open activation lever #3 and clamp #2 of angle cleaver.

Dispose of ﬁber shard per company practice.

4.0 Fiber Insertion

4.1 Slide the ﬁber holder’s guide funnel fully forward and close

the funnel cover. An audible click can be heard. Check for

proper cleave length again by inspecting the amount of ﬁber

protruding beyond the funnel end of the holder. The amount

of exposed ﬁber should be from 0 to 1 mm (0.04").

1 mm

4.2 Place ﬁber holder in the assembly tool base.

4.3 VERY SLOWLY slide the ﬁber holder towards the connector.

A bow in the ﬁber is started once the white line on the ﬁber

holder is even with the white line (BOW START) on the base.

If a bow is not seen, strip, clean and cleave the ﬁber as shown

in Section 3 and try installation again.

Bow Start

Slide very slowly

Note: See photo in 4.4 for more detail.

4.4 If a bow is seen before the white line on the holder meets

the white line on the base, then strip, clean, and cleave the

ﬁber as shown in Section 3 and try again.

When white lines

meet, Fiber Bow

should start.
