Cable Preparation
Slide the 900 μm strain relief boot and then the 27 mm mini splice protective sleeve over
the 900 μm field fiber. Use the 910CL to cleave the field fiber. Insert the fiber adapter
with the cleaved fiber into the left-hand side of the 910FS fusion splicer. Make sure to
butt the 900 μm buffer up to the edge of the fiber adapter. This will ensure that the mini
splice sleeve will adhere to both sides of the 900 μm buffer.
Installation
1. Disable the "Proof Test" on the fusion splicer.
2. Remove the factory dust cap from the connector.
3. While holding the connector firmly, pull down on the cleave protector to remove it
