How to Install the Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors for loose tube fiber with a 900μm build-up.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Fiber cleaver, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Fusion-splice connectors, Build-up tubing, Splice protection sleeves, Lint-free wipes, Fiber cleaning solution

  1. Prepare the splice machine

    Follow the initiation steps specific to your splice machine, including powering up, performing arc tests, and conducting necessary cleaning and maintenance.

  2. Strip the fiber

    Strip at least 45 inches (115cm) of the outer jacket from the fiber and remove any aramid. Ensure there is approximately 1 inch (3cm) of inner jacket to encapsulate in the fanout kit.

  3. Assemble the connector

    Place the connector rear housing and boot assembly onto the field fiber, followed by the splice protection sleeve. Ensure both slide over the build-up tube.

  4. Clean the fiber

    Strip approximately 30mm of acrylate off the fiber and clean the bare fiber using lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution, following proper safety precautions.

  5. Cleave the fiber

    Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm and place it into the left-side fiber holder according to your splice machine's instructions.

  6. Insert the connector assembly

    Open the connector assembly blister pack and place the connector assembly into the disposable plastic holder with the fiber stub protruding to the left.

  7. Close the holder

    Close the holder on the right side of the splice area, ensuring the field fiber and stub fiber are about 1mm apart.

  8. Start the splice process

    Close the wind cover of the splice stage and start the splice process according to your machine's settings.

  9. Complete the splice

    After the splice is completed, follow the machine's instructions to perform a tension test and avoid touching the fiber until it is complete.

  10. Finalize the assembly

    Once the splice protection sleeve is in place, slide it up to the rear of the fiber holder, then open both holders and assemble the connector parts.
