11.5 Using the 3M

™

Stripping Tool 6365-ST, remove the

buffer in small increments until 21–22 mm (approx.

7/8") of buffer is left.

11.6 Using a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl

alcohol, clean the bare ﬁber to remove any oils or

acrylate coating debris.

11.7 Check the ﬁnal strip lengths and adjust if necessary.

12.0 Connector Mounting

12.1 While connector is still in oven, mount ﬁber into

connector inserting until buffer stops inside the

connector. Be sure to insert ﬁber within the guide tube

at the rear of the connector.

Note: Removing the connector holder from the oven prior

to ﬁber insertion will cause adhesive to thicken rapidly,

greatly limiting the time to insert the ﬁber.
Cable jackets should be approximately 1mm from the rear

of crimp area when buffer is correctly located.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift the connector while in the load
adapter during the heating process. This will prevent
adhesive from bonding to the load adapter. If adhesive
does adhere itself to the inside of the load adapter, use
the cleaning pin to remove adhesive prior to inserting
next connector. Use alcohol with the pin, if needed.

Note: To ease ﬁber insertion, make sure ﬁber is kept very

straight when mounting. If resistance is felt when within

1/8” of buffer, you are stubbing and should back out a short

distance and re-enter making sure that the ﬁber is kept

straight at all times.
