11. Remove the cable from the assembly tool cable
grip long enough to slide the boot past the
grip. Straighten the cable and return it to the
cable grip.
12. Place the two Kevlar strand bundles into the
grips on each side of the assembly tool. Tug the
strands lightly to ensure they are taught while
ensuring the buffered fiber is not bent.
13. Grip the strands on both sides of the tool to
maintain tension. Screw the boot onto the
back of the connector to fix the strands firmly.
14. Remove the connector from the assembly tool,
then remove the wedge clip by squeezing the
sides and rolling it off the connector.
d. To secure the connection, be certain the
position 1 indicator is still dim, then release
the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until
it dislocates from the connector body. A
click will be heard.
Remove the VFL 101 from the connector
and replace both dust caps.
c. Place the cable into the assembly tool cable
grip as shown. Form a slight bend in the
cable that will maintain tension on the
connection.
NOTE: Be certain the fiber bend does not
exceed the top of the wedge clip.

the wedge clip dims. The mark placed at
11.5 mm in step 5 should be very close to
the edge of the connector.
