How to Install the MPO Splice-On Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the MPO Splice-On Connector for bare ribbon and 3mm round fiber.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Fiber cleaver, Jacket remover, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Splice-On Connector, Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Alcohol wipes

  1. Prepare the fiber

    Slide the rear parts, spring, and protection sleeve onto the ribbon fiber. Ensure the fiber is clean and free from any debris.

  2. Cleave the fiber

    Use the fiber cleaver to cleave the fiber, ensuring there is no gap. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.

  3. Set up the splice

    Place the cleaved fiber into the fiber holder on the splicer. Ensure the fiber is properly aligned and secure.

  4. Perform the arc test

    Activate the splicer and perform the arc test to ensure proper functionality. Follow the prompts on the splicer display.

  5. Fusion splice the fibers

    Initiate the fusion splicing process on the splicer. Wait for the splicing to complete and confirm the splice quality.

  6. Heat the protection sleeve

    Slide the protection sleeve over the splice and place it in the heater. Confirm the position before heating.

  7. Finalize the installation

    Once the sleeve has cooled, remove it from the heater, and secure the boot over the splice. Ensure all components are tightly fitted.
