How to Install Panduit 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

  1. Prepare the splice machine

    Follow the initiation steps specific to your splice machine, including powering up, performing arc tests, and ensuring proper maintenance.

  2. Prepare the fiber

    Strip approximately 35mm of buffer and acrylate off the fiber, then clean the bare fiber with lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution.

  3. Cleave the fiber

    Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm, ensuring all acrylate coating has been removed for a clean cut.

  4. Insert the fiber into the splice holder

    Place the cleaved fiber into the left-side fiber holder of the splice machine, following the specific instructions for your machine.

  5. Assemble the connector

    Open the connector assembly blister pack and place the connector assembly into the disposable plastic holder, ensuring the fiber stub is correctly positioned.

  6. Perform the splice

    Close the holder and wind cover of the splice stage, then initiate the splice process according to your machine's instructions.

  7. Apply splice protection sleeve

    Once the splice is complete, gently slide the splice protection sleeve up to the rear of the fiber holder and open both holders.

  8. Heat the splice

    Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine, ensuring it is centered, and follow the on-screen instructions for the heating and cooling process.

  9. Assemble the connector housing

    After the heating/cooling cycle is complete, assemble the front and rear housing of the connector, ensuring proper alignment for APC-style connectors.

  10. Finalize the installation

    Grasp the dust cap to hold it in place and cut off the handling stick or gently twist to remove it, completing the installation.
