Terminate the Cable
Termination is the process of attaching connectors to the ends of fiber cable.
Follow these general instructions when terminating fiber cable.
1. Organize your termination kit materials.
2. Reference your plan to be certain that you have enough supplies to make
the fiber connections and to terminate all used fiber cable ends.
3. Make a schedule for performing the connections.
4. Follow the assembly and safety procedures for your termination kit.
5. Place a dust cap (supplied in fiber cable kits) on the end of the connector.
ATTENTION: Safety glasses are required to protect your eyes
when you handle chemicals and cut fiber. Pieces of glass fiber are
very sharp and can easily damage the cornea of your eye.
Cleaved glass fibers are very sharp and can pierce the skin easily. Do
not let cut pieces of fiber stick to your clothing or drop in the work
area where they can cause injury later. Use tweezers to pick up cut or
broken pieces of the glass fibers and place them on a loop of tape
kept for that purpose alone. Keep your work area clean.
IMPORTANT Be certain to follow the instructions that are provided by your
fiber termination kit manufacturer.
ATTENTION: If this equipment is used in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
