1. Prepare the Cable Slide the connector boot off the cable and use a three-hole jacket stripper to remove approximately 2 inches (50 mm) of the outer jacket, exposing the internal fiber strands and the steel wire strength member . 2. Separate and Trim the Strength Member Carefully separate the steel wire from the fiber strands. Trim any frayed or damaged ends using Kevlar or steel wire shears to create a clean working edge . 3. Strip the Fiber Coating Use a precision fiber stripper to remove the protective coating from the fiber itself, following the recommended strip length for your connector type . 4. Cleave the Fiber Use a precision cleaver to cut the fiber to the correct length, ensuring a smooth, perpendicular end for optimal light transmission . 5. Insert Fiber and Steel Wire into Connector Insert the stripped fiber into the connector ferrule, ensuring the steel wire is properly seated in the connector's strength member slot or crimp area. Slide the locking tab or crimp mechanism closed to secure both the fiber and steel wire . 6. Secure the Connector Boot Screw or snap the connector boot back onto the connector, trimming any excess steel wire or yarn to prevent interference . 7. Test the Connection Use a visual fault locator or fiber optic meter to verify that the fiber is properly seated and that the connection is transmitting light without significant loss .
