How to Install Black Box Basic Fiber Termination Kit
- 1. Prepare your workspace and organize the kit components for quick access. Ensure you have adequate lighting and a clean surface to prevent contamination of fiber ends.
- 2. Use the 400x fiber inspection scope to examine the fiber endface before any termination. Look for dust, scratches, or contamination, and take corrective cleaning steps if needed to ensure a pristine surface.
- 3. Select the appropriate termination method and adapters for your connector type. Use the stripping tool to expose the fiber accurately without damaging the coating, and follow standard handling procedures to minimize microbends or stress.
- 4. Clean the exposed fiber end with approved cleaning methods and proceed to cleaving or connector attachment as dictated by your project. Ensure the endface is square and free of debris before final assembly.
- 5. Attach the connector or housing according to the recommended procedure for the chosen termination method, securing it firmly and maintaining proper alignment to prevent insertion loss.
- 6. Re-inspect the terminated end using the 400x scope to verify cleanliness and alignment. Perform any necessary adjustments, then carry out a basic test to confirm continuity and signal integrity.
