Optical fibre
1. Prepare cable ends
Do not kink light guide!
(bending radius min.
30mm)
Do not damage the fiber!
(increased cable
attenuation) In the case of the Z1101 first remove approx. 33 mm of the orange outer
sheath.
Remove approx. 8 mm of the black fiber sheath.
The fiber must not be damaged during this process.
2. Assemble connectors
The fiber must initially
project by approx. 2 mm! Position the connector body onto the optical fiber up to the stop. The fiber
must project from the connector guide by approx. 2 mm, so that any cracks
present in the fiber end face are located outside the connector (these are
subsequently removed by abrasion).
To secure the connector insert the clip into the connector body and press it
in without canting.

3. Abrade fiber to final dimension
Abrade back the fiber flush
with the connector! Do not cut off the projecting fiber end (this could lead to crack formation)
but abrade flush with the connector guide using abrasive paper (600 grain
size). The connector guide must not be abraded during this process.
4. Check fiber ends
Visual inspection Simple visual inspection of the abraded fiber ends:
If one cable end is presented to a light source, then a clean, plane face
without cracks must be observed at the other end.
