How to Install the OmniSplice Fusion Splice Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and terminating the OmniSplice Fusion Splice Connector safely and effectively.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Open the connector package

    Gently push the tray bottom tab down while lifting the tray lid tab up. Carefully open the blister pack and remove the connector assembly by the handling stick, avoiding contact with the fiber stub end.

  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 machine

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

  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 to the right. Ensure the metal portion is flush against the holder.

  7. Initiate the splice process

    Close the wind cover of the splice stage. Depending on your machine, the splice process may start 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. 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 and start the heating process if necessary.

  11. Assemble the connector

    Once the heating/cooling cycle is complete, remove the assembly from the heating area. Allow a 30-second cool time before assembling the connector. Align and snap the front housing together with the rear housing.

  12. Finalize the installation

    Cut off the handling stick to remove it from the dust cap if desired. Ensure the connector is properly assembled and ready for use.
