Cable Preparation
Slide the 900 μm strain relief boot and then the 27 mm mini splice protective sleeve over
the 900μm eld ber. Use the 910CL to cleave the eld ber. Insert the ber adapter
with the cleaved ber into the left-hand side of the 910FS fusion splicer. Make sure to
butt the 900 μm buffer up to the edge of the ber adapter. This will ensure that the mini
splice sleeve will adhere to both sides of the 900 μm buffer.
Installation
1. Disable the “Proof Test” on the fusion splicer.
2. Remove the factory dust cap from the connector.
Note: The extended dust cap may be placed on at this time, if so desired, to aid in
the transfer of the connector. DO NOT LEAVE THE EXTENDED DUST CAP ON THE
CONNECTOR, INSIDE THE FUSION SPLICE MACHINE.
3. While holding the connector rmly, pull down on the cleave protector to remove it
from the connector (Figure 1).
Note: Do not touch the cleaved ber stub with the protector or your ngers as this
may damage the factory cleave.
