If unable to insert buffered fiber through guide tube, trim tip of
the fiber using scissors.
Be careful not to touch the HCS fiber coating with bare fingers.
Use of disposable nitrile powder free examination gloves is
recommended. Once the fiber has been stripped, the coating
will retain finger oils, which can transfer to and damage gripper
pads in the cleaver during the last step 4 in the termination
process.
If damage is visible, cut off the damaged fiber and repeat the
procedure from step 2 with a new spacer and crimp ring.
Install V-Pin Connector ferrule.
