8.05 Lower the front end of the ribbon holder to lay the cleaved fibers in
the V grooves of the splice. If the fibers are not positioned
properly in the V grooves, raise and lower the front end of the
ribbon holder until the fibers are positioned properly.
8.06 Proper positioning of fibers.
8.07 Slowly slide the fibers into the splice by moving the ribbon holder
down the ramp until it stops.
Note: If resistance is felt, back out fibers slightly and continue
insertion.
9.0 Applying the Pre-load
9.01 Move the pre-load levers, one at a time, toward you as far as they
will go.
8.08 Select the mating fiber ribbon and identify fiber #1 for proper alignment into the splice. Repeat the Ribbon
Preparation, Ribbon Holder Preparation, Cleaver Operation, Visual Inspection of the Cleave, and Fiber
Insertion (sections 4.05 to 8.07) for the other side of the splice.
Note: Fiber contact can be confirmed by observing the movement of the first ribbon and holder as the
second ribbon is inserted.
If no movement is observed, a successful splice is not likely. It is recommended that the cleaver, ribbon
holders, and actuator tool be cleaned and checked for proper operation. Repeat Steps 4.05 through 8.08 for
both ribbons. Use a new Fibrlok Multi-Fiber Optical Splice.
