Page 3: Step 1 - Prepare The Cable
860532050 Issue 4, July 2014 Pre-Termination Set-Up and Preparation Recommendations 1. Ensure work area is a clean surface with adequate lighting. 2. The following repair and splicer operation should be performed by an individual with adequate and appropriate training. - Page 4 860532050 www.commscope.com Instruction Sheet Note: When making a repair, cut cable back to remove any damaged fibers. 3. Make a slit from the mark to the end of the cable with the jacket remover tool. 4. Prepare to ribbonize 1.97 in (50mm) of fiber. Fold jacket and strengthening yarn back as shown and secure in position with clip or adhesive tape.
- Page 5 CommScope’s cable assemblies. Important: CommScope trunks follow method B fiber polarity. 1. For Commscope cable assemblies with the connector keys facing up, channel 1 on End A of the cable assembly always goes to channel 12 on End B of cable assembly.
- Page 6 860532050 www.commscope.com Instruction Sheet Table 1 can be used as a guide to the orientation of the ribbonized cable when being spliced onto the QWIK MPO ferrule in the splicer: Cable Gender Blue Fiber Position Type (when placed in splicer)
- Page 7 860532050 Issue 4, July 2014 Note: Because CommScope cable assemblies follow method B polarity, verify that the ribbonized fiber is in the proper orientation for method B polarity when placed in the fiberclip holder. Ensure that the ribbonized fiber is placed in the fiber clip holder such that the blue fiber orientation is consistent with Table 1 for whichever cable type and gender you are terminating.
- Page 8 860532050 www.commscope.com Instruction Sheet Step 5 – Align Ribbonized Fibers and Splice the Connector 1. Turn on the mass fusion splicer. Splicer display shows several fiber type options. Select the correct fiber type and arc test using proper fibers. Select splice condition of SM12 or MM12, depending on fiber type to be spliced.
- Page 9 860532050 Issue 4, July 2014 IMPORTANT: Do not pull the fibers during splicing. 9. After the splice is complete, estimated results will display: green for passing, red for failing. Open the door and remove the assembly from the fiber clamps.
- Page 10 860532050 www.commscope.com Instruction Sheet Step 6 – Assemble the Connector 1. Remove the tape or clip holding the cable jacket and the strengthening yarn. 2. Unscrew the rear housing from the boot assembly. 3. Slide the rear housing up to the ferrule, pulling the jacket and strengthening yarn through the rear housing.
- Page 11 860532050 Issue 4, July 2014 6. Insert assembled connector into the MPO adapter on the platform and secure the cable jacket with the clamp on the opposite end of the platform. Keep jacket and fibers taut to minimize any slack in the fiber/cable while mounted in the assembly platform.
