3.2. Cable Preparation
DANGER
! ALWAYS wear safety glasses when working with optical
fibers. BE VERY CAREFUL to dispose of fiber ends
properly. The fibers create slivers that easily puncture
the skin and cause irritation.

A. Jacketed Cable
1. Slide the short strain relief (small diameter end
first) onto the cable. If the cable jacket diameter is
less than 2.5 mm [.1 in.], slide the PVC tubing onto
the cable. Slide the crimp eyelet (rolled end first)
onto the cable.
2. Refer to the “OPTIMATE 2.5mm Bayonet
(Ceramic)” strip length template (from the cable
preparation template kit) or refer to Figure 2, Detail
A, and using the cable stripper, strip the jacket to
the dimension shown. Using the shears, trim the
strength members to dimension shown. Using the
fiber stripper, strip the buffer, then the coating to the
dimension shown.
iNOTE NOTE
For specific techniques on stripping (using the fiber
stripper), see instruction sheet 408-9485.
Recommended Stripping Dimensions
Note: Note to Scale
Detail A — Jacketed Cable
Detail B — Buffered Fiber or Coated Fiber
Note: Dimensions are in millimeters with inches in brackets.
Figure 2
3. Clean the fiber thoroughly using an alcohol fiber
wipe.
4. Evenly “fan out” the strength members from the
buffer.
B. 900-µm Buffered or 250-µm Coated Fiber
1. For buffered fiber, slide the bare buffer boot
(small diameter end first), crimp eyelet (rolled end
first), and clear tubing onto the buffered fiber.
