You’ll need to prepare: a cleaver, a striper, a cable clamp, a gauge, Kevlar scissors, cleaning supplies and the connector. Now, follow the procedures below to terminate fibers on your own.

1.First, cut and clean the fiber optic cable before you start. Use the clamp to fix the cable, assemble the connector housing, put the boot on the cable before you start stripping it.

2.Measure the jacket strip length with the gauge, use the stripper to strip off the jacket and cut off the Kevlar fibers with the scissors. Measure the buffer strip length and strip the buffer off at about 1-centimeter segments (1 centimeter at a time) to keep the fiber from bending or breaking. Then use the stripper to slightly clean off the cladding.

3.Insert the fiber strand into the trapdoor of the cleaver, fix it with the clamp and start the cleaver. After a precision cleave, you need to decontaminate the dust, grease or the leftovers of the cladding from the fiber. Use the cleaning supplies (alcohol) to draw the contaminants from the fiber and repeat this step several times until it’s clean.

4.Insert the fiber into the pre-assembled fiber connector until you feel the pressure to make sure it’s connected. Then slightly slide the boot up and tighten the connector. Lastly, remove the cable clamp and you got a finished fiber connector.
