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, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors
- Prepare the splice machine
Follow the initiation steps specific to your splice machine, including powering up, performing arc tests, and ensuring proper maintenance.
- 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.
- Assemble the connector
Place the connector rear housing and boot assembly onto the field fiber, then slide the splice protection sleeve onto the fiber over the build-up tube.
- Cleave the fiber
Strip approximately 30mm of acrylate off the fiber, ensuring that 5-7mm of acrylate remains beyond the end of the build-up tube. Clean the bare fiber with lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution.
- Insert the fiber into the splice holder
Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm and place it into the left-side fiber holder according to the instructions specific to your splice machine.
- Close the splice holder
Place the plastic holder on the right side of the splice stage and close the holder on the right side of the splice area.
- Start the splice process
Close the wind cover of the splice stage. Depending on the machine’s settings, the splice process may begin automatically or may require pressing a start button.
- Complete the splice
After the splice is completed, the machine will provide an estimated insertion loss value. Wait for the tension test to complete before touching the fiber or connector assembly.
- Install the splice protection sleeve
Gently slide the splice protection sleeve up to the rear of the fiber holder and open both holders.
- Heat the splice
Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine, ensuring the splice protection sleeve is centered in the heating area. Close the heater cover and start the heating process.
- Finalize the connector assembly
Once the heating cycle is complete and the assembly has cooled, snap the front housing together with the rear housing. Ensure the red alignment dot on top of the connector assembly faces up for APC connectors.
- Remove the handling stick
Grasp the dust cap to hold it in place and either cut off the handling stick or gently twist to remove it.
