Stripping the Optical Cable

3.1 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm Transparent Optical Cable
Step 1 Insert the optical cable into the boot.

Route the optical cable in from the smaller hole and out from the larger hole of the boot. Do
not install the optical cable in the wrong direction.
Step 2 Use diagonal pliers to cut the optical cable from the middle, remove the sheath, and expose
the bare fiber by 45–50 mm.

3 Stripping the Optical Cable

1. Stripping a 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cable: Use diagonal pliers to cut the sheath in the
middle and, split the sheath by hand, and then cut off the sheath. Do not use the 2 mm x 1.6 mm
optical cable stripper in the FTK01 to strip the sheath.
2. If no bare fiber is exposed after the sheath is removed, bend the sheath at the initial stripping pointby about 180 degrees until the optical fiber is broken and the bare fiber is exposed, as shown in thefollowing figure.

Step 3 Cut off the extra sheath of the optical fiber and ensure that the end faces of the sheath on bothsides are flush.

Do not use the tip of the diagonal pliers to cut the sheath. Otherwise, the optical fiber may bedamaged.

The method of stripping 2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cables or terminal flexible optical cables is
the same.

Step 1 Insert the optical cable into the boot.

Route the optical cable in from the smaller hole and out from the larger hole of the boot. Do
not install the optical cable in the wrong direction.
Step 2 Use the optical cable stripper in the toolkit to strip the sheath of the optical cable and expose
the bare fiber by 45–50 mm.

3 Stripping the Optical Cable

The fiber coating of a 2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cable is tightly clung on the cablesheath. Therefore, when using the 2 mm x 1.6 mm optical cable strippers to strip the cable,
you can apply a little more force or strip the cable in two sections.

4 Processing the Optical Fiber

Processing the Optical Fiber

The operations for processing optical fibers are the same for different types of optical cables. The
following uses a 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cable as an example.

Step 1 Open the coating stripper. On the side marked with "Remove fixed length coating", route thebare fiber through the hole near the shaft until the optical cable is clamped into the coating
stripper.

Clean the tool before stripping the optical fiber. Otherwise, the residual coating may cause
incomplete stripping of the optical fiber.

Do not leave a gap between the optical cable and the stripper.

4 Processing the Optical Fiber

Step 2 Rotate the shaft to close the coating stripper. Hold the shaft end (edge side) of the coating
stripper with one hand and horizontally pull out the optical cable with the other hand to strip
off the coating.

Do not exert excessive force when holding the shaft end (edge side) of the stripper.

Step 3 After confirming that the fiber is intact, clean the stripped fiber using alcohol.

Gently press the upper and lower, left and right sides with your fingers to 60 degrees, three times in eachdirection to confirm that there are no fiber cracks.

Step 4 Rotate the optical cable fastener. For 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm optical cables, select the 1.2 mmchannel. For 2 mm x 1.6 mm and 2 mm x 3 mm optical cables, select the 2.0 mm channel.

The narrow channel of the optical cable fixing piece is applicable to 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm opticalcables, and the wide channel is applicable to 2 mm x 1.6 mm and 2 mm x 3 mm opticalcables.

Step 5 Insert the optical cable whose coating is stripped into the slot on the side marked with
"Remove fixed length coating". Do not leave a gap between the optical cable and thefixed-length limiting surface.

When inserting the optical cable into the slot, pay attention to the direction of the opticalcable.

5 Installing the Optical Fiber Connector

Installing the Optical Fiber Connector

The procedures for installing fiber connectors for different types of optical cables are similar. The
following uses a 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cable as an example.

Step 1 Install the matching piece for the 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cable at the opticalcable stripping point. Ensure that the top end face of the matching piece is flush with thestripped end face of the optical cable.



Perform this step only for 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm transparent optical cables. For other types of opticalcables, skip this step.

When clamping the optical cable into the matching piece, ensure that the optical cable is completely
clamped.

Step 2 Ensure that the lock of the optical fiber connector is in the ON position. Push the optical cable
into the main body of the optical fiber connector until it reaches the end. In this case, the barefiber is slightly bent. Pay attention to the direction of the optical cable when pushing it into
the connector.
