How to Terminate Panduit OptiCam Fiber Optic Connectors
Step-by-step guide for terminating Panduit OptiCam connectors onto fiber optic cables.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
OptiCam Termination Tool (OCTT), SC Cradle for OptiCam Termination Tool (OCTT), 2.5mm Universal Patch Cord for OptiCam Termination Tool (OCTT), Fiber Cable Jacket Stripper, Fiber Buffer Stripper, Fiber Cleaver Tool, Fine-Tip Marking Pen
Supplies needed:
Isopropyl Alcohol (90% minimum concentration), Lint-Free Wipes, Safety Glasses, 900μm boots, Build-up tube (for 250μm fiber), Fanout Kit (for jacketed cable), Adhesive (Loctite 401 or equivalent Cyanoacrylate adhesive), Duplex Clip (optional)
- Prepare the Fiber Optic Cable
For 250μm fiber: Place a 900μm boot onto the fiber, then a build-up tube. Mark the build-up tube 15mm (LC) or 11mm (SC/ST) from its end. Strip at least 30mm of coating from the fiber and clean with an alcohol-soaked wipe. Mark the coated fiber 15mm (LC) or 11mm (SC/ST) from the end of the stripped coating. Cleave the fiber 7mm from the end of the coating. For jacketed cable: Split duplex cable if necessary. Mark the cable jacket 1.73" (44mm) from the end and strip. Fold aramid yarn back over the jacket. Mark the buffer 0.55" (14mm) from the jacket edge, and then mark 0.43" (11mm) from that mark. Mark the buffer at the edge of the jacketing. Strip the buffer to the 0.55" (14mm) mark. Clean the bare fiber with an alcohol-soaked wipe. Cleave the fiber 7mm from the end of the buffer coating.
- Prepare the OptiCam Termination Tool
Ensure the laser switch on the OCTT is OFF. Remove the protective dust cover from the laser. Insert the ST end of the FVFLPC-2.5SMY patch cord into the laser aperture, aligning the tabs, and rotate the barrel clockwise to lock. Align the SC Cradle with the OCTT cradle holder and slide it under the tabs until it stops. Grip the cradle holder and slide it to the pre-termination position.
- Insert Connector and Fiber into Cradle
Remove dust caps from the connector inner housing assembly. Place the inner housing assembly into the SC cradle, ensuring the connector housing tabs are between the cradle forks. Attach the patch cord to the connector ferrule by gently sliding the ferrule adapter end over the connector ferrule until it stops, ensuring it is in-line and not at an angle.
- Terminate the Connector
For 900μm tight-buffered fiber: Insert the fiber into the connector body with light pressure until it stops on the fiber stub. The insertion mark should be near the back of the connector. Squeeze clamp arms to open pads, place the fiber between them, and release the arms to clamp the cable. Shuttle the cradle holder towards the cable to create a bow in the fiber. For jacketed cable: Insert the fiber into the connector body until it stops. Ensure the buffer length mark is at the edge of the jacket. Squeeze clamp arms to open pads, place the cable between them, and release the arms to clamp the cable. Do not shuttle the cradle holder for jacketed cable terminations.
- Cam and Test the Connector
Turn the OCTT laser ON. Rotate the cam lever 90° counterclockwise until it stops. The glow from the connector cam region should dim or remain dark. If not, turn the laser OFF, un-cam the connector, adjust fiber position, and re-cam. Turn the OCTT laser OFF. Remove the ferrule adapter end of the patch cord from the connector.
- Assemble and Finish
Remove the connector from the cradle. For 900μm fiber, slide the boot forward onto the backbone until it seats against the flange. For jacketed cable, flare aramid yarn, then push the boot forward and thread it onto the backbone. Align the inner and outer housing assemblies and push them together until they snap. Clean the ferrule end face and place a dust cap on it. Attach the duplex clip if desired. Dispose of fiber scraps properly.
