Fiber Preparation

Placing Protection Sleeve over Fiber
Place the protection sleeve over the fiber. Clean optical fiber with alcohol-soaked gauze
or lint-free tissue approximately 100 mm (4 in) from the tip.
Note: Splice-on connectors are pre-cleaved. Do not attempt to clean the fiber on the
splice-on connector. Follow the instructions supplied with the splice-on connectors.
Greenlee / A Textron Company
• Clean optical fiber with alcohol-soaked gauze or lint-free tissue. Dust particulates
can enter the protection sleeve, resulting in a fiber break or attenuation increase.
• Make sure fiber is passed through the protection sleeve.
• When protection sleeve core tube is longer than the length of outer sheath, cut off
excess sleeve to avoid micro bend after heating.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.
