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 1.18"
(30mm) of coating.

5. Place an insertion mark on the coated
fiber 2" (51mm) from the end of the
stripped coating.

IMPORTANT! 250µm Coated Fiber Stripping Dimensions. Due to printing variations, use a rigid scale for
stripping dimensions, or the appropriate Panduit laminated template.

6. Slide the leading edge of the build-up tube to the start of the coating after cleaving the fiber.

900μm Tight-Buffered Fiber Strip

1. Insert the fiber end through the small end of the 900μm boot. Slide the boot back out of the
way.

2. Use buffer stripper to strip at least 1.18" (30mm) of buffer.

3. Use the marking pen to place an insertion mark at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43” (11mm) for
SC/ST, back from the end of the stripped buffer.

IMPORTANT! 900µm Coated Fiber Stripping Dimensions. Due to printing variations, use a rigid scale for
stripping dimensions, or the appropriate Panduit laminated template.

- 16 -

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.
Instead, use the tool to cut through the jacket,
then pull off the jacket by hand.

4. Insert the fiber through the small end of the appropriate boot for your specific cable type. Use the boot to fold the aramid
yarn back over the jacket, holding it out of the way.

5. Use the marking pen to place a buffer length mark on the buffer at 0.71” (18mm) for LC, and 0.55" (14mm) for SC/ST,
from the edge of the jacket. Place an insertion mark at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43" (11mm) for SC/ST, back from the
first mark.

IMPORTANT! Due to printing variations, use a rigid scale for stripping dimensions, or the appropriate Pan­duit laminated template.

6. Use the marking pen to place a mark on the buffer at the edge of the jacket. This mark should remain at the edge of the
jacket after buffer stripping.

7. Use the buffer stripper to strip the buffer to the buffer length mark.

250μm Coated Fiber Termination Using OptiCom Fanout Kit

1. Install the Fanout Kit (FO6CB, FO12CB) according to the installation instructions FS047.

2. Feed the 250μm coated fibers through the 900μm fanout tubing until at least 30mm of fiber
protrudes from the end of the tubing. Trim the coated fibers to length at 30mm.

- 17 -

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 0.43" (11mm) for SC/ST, back from the end of
the tubing.

6. Place a coating removal mark on the coated fiber 3mm from the end of the fanout tubing. Strip the coating up to the coat­ing removal mark. Note: The 3mm of coating extending from the end of the tubing is intended to compensate for fiber
movement within the fanout tubing during termination.

Buffer Stripping

1. Remove no more than 1/4" (6mm) of buffer at a time to avoid breaking the fiber.

2. Hold the buffer stripper such that the tool is at a 90-degree angle to the fiber to ensure
clean cut of buffer.

3. Position the fiber in the tool's V-notches. Squeeze the handles and pull toward the end
of the fiber.

- 18 -

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.
Insert the end of the
fiber into the V­groove and under the
fiber clamp. Release
the fiber clamp lever
when the end of the buffer is located at the 7mm mark (±0.5mm). This length is critical to termination.

OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual

Score & Cleave

1. This is a critical step for successful termination. Gently hold the buffered fiber against the groove in the base plate
using thumb and forefinger of your free hand. With your other thumb, gently push down on the housing until the ceramic
blade contacts the fiber only once. DO NOT cut the fiber with the ceramic blade. Release the housing so that the blade is
no longer contacting the fiber.

2. Hold the tool in one hand while still holding the fiber against the base plate. Bend the base plate down until the fiber
breaks. To prevent contamination, do not re-clean the fiber, do not set fiber down, or allow it to touch anything

after cleaving.

- 19 -

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.

2. Align the external chamfers on the front of the inner housing assembly with the
internal chamfers at the front of the outer housing.

3. Push the inner housing assembly into the outer housing until it snaps into place.
Once in place the outer housing should be able to move freely back and forth over
the inner housing and boot.

4. The connector can be re-terminated if needed. Make sure that the dust cap is on the ferrule. Grip the outer housing and
push the connector tip down onto a hard surface. The inner housing will release from the outer housing. Remove outer
housing. Slide the boot off the backbone. Un-cam the connector and remove the fiber.

CAUTION: DO NOT push down without a dust cap installed on the ferrule. Doing so could damage the
pre-polished fiber end face.

5. Clean the ferrule end face with a dry wipe. Place the dust cap over the ferrule end.

6. (Optional) Orient the connector as shown with the connector key facing upward in the same
direction as the ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘KEY’ markings on the duplex clip. Insert the connector into one
side of the clip on a slight angle and rotate into place. The upper and lower legs of the clip slide
over the connector and “snap” when the connector is in place. The connector is fully seated
once the top and bottom connector flanges are inside of the rectangular slots in the clip.

Repeat this procedure for the other connector, completing the duplexing step.

Note: When making cable assemblies, be sure to follow the correct ‘A->B’ polarity cross-over
between connectors.

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. The dust caps for both the LC connector (tool end) and the Ferrule Adapter (field con­nector end) must be installed when the cord is not in use. Do not coil the cable to less
than one-inch diameter at any time to avoid damaging the fiber.

4. The fiber tip of the launch cords should be cleaned every 50 connector terminations. To clean, retract the boot to expose
the cable crimp sleeve. Remove the Ferrule Adapter by holding the crimp sleeve and unthreading from the Ferrule
Adapter Assembly to expose the white ceramic split sleeve.

- 28 -

OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual

Note: 1.25 millimeter cord is shown for reference. The process is the same for the 2.5 millimeter cord.

5. Twist the split sleeve and pull to remove it from the assembly, exposing the tip of the fiber.

6. Wet an area of the fiber optic cleaning system wipes with fiber optic cleaning solution.

7. Clean the ferrule end faces of any connector or launch cord end, using a dry lint-free wipe.

- 29 -

OptiCam 2 FS133 Termination Tool User Manual

8. If there is stubborn debris on the ends after dry cleaning, use this method: Using the cleaning solution, moisten one end of
a row on the cleaning box. Drag the tip of the fiber along the fiber cleaning row (example shown in blue) from the wet area
to the dry area. Then repeat the wiping procedure with a dry row (example shown in red).

9. To reassemble the Ferrule Adapter, first inspect the split sleeve for chipping or cracks. Thread the Ferrule Adapter onto
the Ferrule Adapter Assembly until the parts make contact. Hold the Cable Crimp Sleeve and turn the Ferrule Adapter
about 5° to tighten the adapter.

10. Always clean the LC connector end of the launch cord before inserting the connector into the tool. Remove the dust cap
