Transfer Inserts, if desired, while the right Fiber Holding Block of the LDC401A is incompatible with the Transfer
Inserts, due to the presence of the Rotation Stage.

Insert Selection Guide
The table on the following page indicates the maximum and minimum diameters that can be accommodated by
different combinations of Top and Bottom Inserts. It also indicates how far offset the fiber will be for recommended
combinations of Top and Bottom Inserts. Note that the fiber outer diameter may be the fiber cladding, jacket, or
buffer. If one side of the fiber is being discarded, it is preferable to clamp onto the cladding of this section except in
special cases (such as non-circular fiber) where the coating or buffer may be preferable. Sections of fiber that are
not being discarded should always be clamped on the coating or buffer in order to avoid damaging the glass. This
may require different sets of fiber holder Inserts to be used in the left and right holding blocks. In this case, it is
important to minimize the difference in the offsets introduced by the left and right sets of Inserts when attempting to
produce perpendicular, flat cleaves.
