How to Install the Fusion-Splice Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors using compatible splice machines.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Fiber cleaver, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Fusion-splice connectors, Splice protection sleeves, Lint-free wipes, Fiber cleaning solution
- 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 approximately 35mm of buffer and acrylate off of the fiber using a fiber stripper.
- Clean the fiber
Clean the bare fiber with lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution, ensuring to follow safety precautions when handling bare optical fiber.
- Cleave the fiber
Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm using a fiber cleaver. Ensure all acrylate coating has been removed for a clean cleave.
- Insert the fiber into the splice machine
Place the cleaved fiber into the left-side fiber holder of the splice machine, following the specific instructions for your machine.
- Prepare the connector assembly
Open the connector assembly blister pack from right to left, ensuring to grab the handling stick rather than the fiber stub end.
- Place the connector assembly in the holder
Insert the connector assembly into the disposable plastic holder with the fiber stub protruding to the left and the handling stick to the right.
- 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.
- Start the splice process
Close the wind cover of the splice stage and initiate the splice process according to your machine's instructions.
- Complete the splice
After the splice is completed, wait for the machine to provide an estimated insertion loss value 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.
- Assemble the connector
Grasp the fiber and raise it slightly to ensure the splice protection sleeve is flush against the connector subassembly without twisting or bending the splice.
- Heat the splice
Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine and close the heater cover, starting the heating process as per the machine's settings.
- Remove the assembly
Carefully remove the assembly from the heating area once the heating/cooling cycle is complete and assemble the front and rear housing.
- Finalize the connector assembly
For SC connectors, install the outer housing and ensure the red alignment dot on APC-style connectors faces up.
- 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.
