3.3 How to Make a Splice

Put the optical fiber in
① Open the safety shield.
② Raise the fiber clamps.
③ Position the fibers into V-grooves. Make sure the fiber ends are between the V-groove edges and the electrode tip.
④ Clamp the fiber in position by lowering both sets of fiber clamps.
⑤ Close the safety shield.
⚠ Note:
Make sure to avoid sliding the fibers along V-grooves, but rather position them over
V-grooves and tilt them down into place (as shown below).
Inspecting the Fibers
Before continuing with splicing, inspect the fibers whether they are clean and well-cleaved. If any defects are found, please
remove the fibers and prepare again.
