ABS 0963-003 LF - Connection

Stripping of primary jacket , buffer and coating.

If mechanical stripping is used , we highly recommend :

  • To strip directly from primary jacket to silica
  • To carefully clean silica with a solvent such as MEK (Methylethylketone).

Residues of silicone can be removed with a wet tissue by wiping off of different angles in order to clean all the circumference of the silica.
If you dip bare fibre into solvent , take care to avoid contact between solvent and other part of the cable such as strength members, silicone and jacket.
