Pull back the slider and insert
the connector (lever must be
facing up) into the tool as far as it will
go. The lead-in tube should rest on the
crimp platform when the connector is
fully seated. The front of the connector
should rest in the slider. Use your index
finger to push the front of the dust cap
to fully seat the connector in the tool.
Fiber Preparation -
900 µm Buffered Fibers
Slide the 900µm boot (small end first)
down both fibers until it is
out of the way.
Note: Skip to step 6 if using
jacketed cable.
Measure and mark 40mm
(1.5 in.) from the end of
each buffered fiber. This will be the
amount of fiber stripped back, also
called the strip point.
Mark each buffer 13mm
(0.51 in.) back from the strip
point. This mark is a visual aid to
indicate when the field fiber contacts
the fiber stub.

Remove the 40mm section
of each buffer with a buffer
striper.
Note: To avoid breaking the fiber,
remove the buffer in 3-4 sections.
Proceed to Step 13.
Fiber Preparation -
3mm Duplex Cable
Slide the 3.0mm boot (small
end first) down the cable until it is
out of the way.
Note: The next four steps require
accuracy. Yarn trimmed too short may
result in weak strain relief of the
connector. Excessive yarn length can be
trimmed later.
Measure and mark 40mm
(1.5 in.) from the end of the
cable’s outer jacket. Use scissors to
trim the aramid yarn flush to the
end of the outer jacket

9a. Strip off the 11mm
section of outer jacket with
the jacket stripping tool. You should
have 11mm of aramid yarn showing.
9b. Fold the aramid yarn back over
the cable jacket and slide the crimp
ring about 5mm (0.2 in.) down the
yarn to hold it out of the way.
15mm .59 in
Measure and mark each
900µm buffer 15mm
(0.59 in.) from the end of the cable
jacket. Place an additional mark on
each buffer approximately 1 to 2mm
(0.04 to 0.08 in.) in from the edge of
the jacket. This mark is a visual aid
to indicate when the field fiber
contacts the fiber stub.

Removing Buffers
from the Fibers
Wrap the fiber cable around your
hand for support and use the buffer
stripper to remove the buffer up to the
15mm mark. Ensure that all the
coating is removed.
Note: To avoid breaking the fiber,
remove the buffer in 3-4 equal sections.
Important: Check the
locations of the visual
marks after stripping — they
must be near the edge of the
jacket. If necessary, work the
buffers back into their original
position in the jacket as shown.
