2.4.3 Removal and cleaning of fiber optic
coatings
After stripping the fiber, a dust-free paper moistened
with high purity alcohol is used to remove debris from
the coating layer, starting at the interface between the
coating and the bare fibre and rotating in a circular
direction towards the bare fibre.
2.4.4 Cleave the fiber
(1) Open the cleaver flap and place the stripped fiber into the
cleaver fiber holder slot, keeping the fiber perpendicular to
the cleaver surface.
(2) Slowly press down on the cleaver fiber holder flap and the
cleaver flap.
(3) Gently push the slider forward to cut the fiber.
(4) Open the cleaver flap and fiber holder flap and remove
the cut fiber.
(5) Remove the fibre scrap and place in the fibre scrap box.
Note: When the cutting end is not good or the fiber cannot be
cut, please adjust the cutter face; in addition, it is better to
use the cleaver that comes with the fusion splicer.
