SECTION H

Mounting Unjacketed/900 m Buffered Fiber

THREAD THE CONNECTOR ONTO THE FIBER

Slide the strain relief tube with the crimp ring within 1/2" (13 mm)

of the buffer. While holding the fiber directly behind the strain

relief tube, slowly thread the connector straight onto the fiber until

the buffer seats at the base of the ferrule (Fig. H5). While holding

the connector in place, slide the strain relief tube and the crimp

ring up the buffer until the crimp ring is seated on the back end of

the connector. The mark on the clear tube MUST align with the

end of the crimp ring before crimping the ring to the connector

and tube (Fig. H6).

CRIMP THE RING TO THE CONNECTOR AND TUBE

While holding the connector and strain relief tube in place, crimp

the upper portion of the ring to the back end of the connector

using the cavity marked .190 in the crimp tool (Fig. H7).

Reposition the connector to the center cavity .137, securing the

ring to the tube.

After placing the connector in the curing oven, gently

push down on the buffered fiber to be sure that it is

seated.
