SPLICING FIBER USING THE FIBER FENCE SPLICE KIT
CONTENTS OF THE SPLICE KIT
1. Cable Stripper: Used to remove the black cable jacket from the fiber cable; and a second plastic
coating on the glass fiber.
2. Simplex Cable: A connectorized length of simplex cable in a coil or spool used to repair broken
fiber.
3. Fiber Cleaver: Contains a blade to scratch the fiber and a mechanism to create a clean break in
the fiber.
4. Mechanical Splice: An alignment sleeve (Lab Splice) with a protective cover. The fiber ends are
inserted in this sleeve to create fiber alignment.
5. Alignment Sleeves (Lab Splices): A package of additional alignment sleeves for use with a
Mechanical Splice.
6. Quick Curing Adhesive: Used to permanently install the alignment sleeve in the protective
cover.
7. Visual Fault Locator (VFL) "Red Light": Helps establish the alignment of the fiber in the
alignment sleeve and insure a good splice. The visual red light will also assist in finding the light
loss location in the fiber fence sensing cable.
8. Alcohol Wipes: Used to clean the fiber and connectors of oils and dirt whenever a fiber
connection is performed.
9. Splice Protection Kit: Protects the completed splice from harsh outside environments.

- Page 2 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide INTRODUCTION Permanently positioning 2 hair thin glass fibers so that a light signal will pass is called splicing. Splicing is normally performed by skilled fiber optic technicians, but it is a skill that may be learned by a steady hand, good eye sighted novice.
- Page 3 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Step 3 Using the cable stripper, select the middle slot stripper (See graphic on stripper) and strip off 1 ½” of cable jacket (black) off the end of the fiber that is not connectorized. Carefully remove ¼” lengths MIDDLE SLOT at a time holding the stripper perpendicular to the fiber.
- Page 4 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Place the stripped fiber over the fiber groove on the left side of the cleaver. Align the end of the black coating on the fiber with the 14mm mark on the scale allowing the stripped bare fiber to extend over the opening in the cleaver and near the blade.
- Page 5 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Step 7 A successfully cleaved fiber may be checked visually determining if the fiber end is shattered or a clean cut. A magnifying glass will aid in this inspection. Or a second check method would be activating the VFL and shining the cleaved end onto white paper.
- Page 6 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide During this procedure, if the fiber breaks inside the alignment sleeve, remove the center core halves from the cylinder. This allows total removal of the broken fiber before returning the halves to the cylinder. If the broken fiber cannot be removed this way, use a new sleeve from the Lab Splice packet in the kit.
- Page 7 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Step 14 When outdoor protection of the splice is required it is necessary to install the Splice Protection Kit. IMPORTANT: The metal tube and rubber shrink tube must be threaded onto the cable before the splice is finalized.
- Page 8 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide TROUBLE SHOOTING AND SPLICING SOLUTIONS Whenever possible, it is better to perform a splice with the assistance of the VFL. Once the splice technique is mastered, a blind splice or one without using the VFL is common. Verification of a successful splice may also be done by the acknowledgement of the through-put signal of the Zone Control Unit.
- Page 9 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Example 3 Some applications call for duplex fiber (a lamp cord style cable) containing two fibers. A broken duplex fiber will require two splices. Example 4 Trouble shooting a system with a VFL may reveal the light loss location. Night time vs. day time light provides a visual advantage.
- Page 10 Fiber Fence Splice Kit Instruction Guide Example 6 The Zone Control Unit contains 2 fiber connectors. If the connectors become damaged, a condition which occurs when connections are made without cleaning the ends with alcohol wipes, a pigtail and splice will replace the defective connector. A factory purchased pigtail is a fiber optic cable with an installed connector.
