How to Install the OmniSplice Fusion Splice Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the OmniSplice Fusion Splice Connector, ensuring proper handling and termination of optical fibers.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Splice protection sleeves, Handling sticks, Lint-free wipes, Fiber cleaning solution

  1. Open the connector package

    Gently push the tray bottom tab down while lifting the tray lid tab up. Open the blister pack carefully and remove the connector assembly by the handling stick.

  2. Prepare the fiber

    Mark and strip approximately 35mm of buffer and acrylate from the fiber. Clean the bare fiber with lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution, following safety precautions.

  3. Cleave the fiber

    Cleave the bare fiber to 10mm. Ensure all acrylate coating has been removed for a successful cleave.

  4. Insert the fiber into the splice holder

    Place the cleaved fiber into the left-side fiber holder according to the splice machine's instructions.

  5. Set up the OmniHolder

    Place the OmniHolder on the right side of the splice stage. Ensure it is securely positioned.

  6. Insert the connector assembly

    Place the connector assembly into the OmniHolder with the fiber stub protruding to the left and the handling stick protruding to the right.

  7. Start the splice process

    Close the wind cover of the splice stage. Depending on the machine, the splice process may begin automatically or require pressing a start button.

  8. Complete the splice

    After the splice is completed, wait for the machine to provide an estimated insertion loss value. Do not touch the fiber or connector assembly until the tension test is complete.

  9. Prepare for heating

    Gently slide the splice protection sleeve up to the rear of the fiber holder and open the fiber holder.

  10. Lift the ferrule assembly

    Press down on the holder lever to lift the ferrule assembly out of the OmniHolder for ease of handling.

  11. Position the splice point

    Grasp the field fiber and raise the left side slightly to ensure the splice protection sleeve is flush against the connector subassembly.

  12. Heat the splice

    Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine, ensuring the splice protection sleeve is centered. Close the heater cover.

  13. Remove the assembly

    Once the heating/cooling cycle is complete, carefully remove the assembly from the heating area and allow a 30-second cool time.

  14. Assemble the connector

    Slide the rear assembly up, align the side tabs, and snap the front housing together with the rear housing. Ensure the key feature on APC-style connectors faces up.

  15. Finalize the installation

    Cut off the handling stick to remove it from the dust cap if desired.
