2.05 If using the Fibrlok 2501 Assembly Tool, rotate the toggle
arms for the appropriate fiber size.

3.0 Fiber Preparation
3.01 Remove the minimum length of fiber required to prepare and
splice the fibers.
3.02 Strip approximately 1 to 2 inches (25 mm to 51 mm) of
plastic coating from the fiber using a mechanical stripper.
Note: The stripper should be in good operating condition to
prevent scratches or other damage to the glass cladding.
3.03 Clean the bare glass by pulling the fiber through an alcohol
soaked lint-free wipe. This will remove any fragments or dirt
remaining on the fiber.
Note: Do not wipe the fibers more than two times, and limit the
time that the bare fiber is exposed to the atmosphere.
Note: Carefully follow health, safety and environmental
information on container label or Material Data Sheet for
isopropyl alcohol being used.
3.04 Cleave fiber to 12.5 mm ≠0.5 mm (0.492 ≠0.020 inches).
Important: The Fibrlok
™
II 2529 Universal Splice uses a cleave length of
12.5 mm
≠0.5 mm (0.492 ≠0.020 inches) for both 250 m and
900
m coated fibers.
Note: The cleaver should be in good operating condition and used
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is
recommended that the cleaver provide a consistent cleave-
to-coating length within
≠0.5 mm. In addition, standard
cleavers should produce cleaved ends within 2
≠ of
perpendicular and free of major defects. Cleavers
specifically designed to produce controlled, angled cleaves
of greater than 2
≠ may also be used with the Fibrlok
™
II
Optical Splice.
