Cleave the fiber 7.0 mm–7.5 mm from the end of the 250 µm coating (not from the end of the tube).
Be sure to read and understand the procedure included with your cleaver that is provided with
your Ortronics

®

Field Installation Kit prior to attempting this step. (The procedure can be

downloaded from the Ortronics web site at
http://www.legrand.us/ortronics/technicalresources/instruction%20manuals.aspx)

*

If unfamiliar with cleaving, it is advised to practice using a spare piece of fiber. Generally, a light touch is all that is
required to score the fiber.
The 250 µm coating must rest against the stop.

*

Alternative cleavers which produce a 7

mm bare fiber length may be used.

*

After cleaving, there must still be 0.50 mm–1.50 mm of 250 µm coating extending beyond the tube as shown. If required,
using your fingers, carefully grip the bare fiber close to the 250 µm coating as shown in Fig. 3 of step 13, and gently push
the fiber back into the tube as far as it will go. The 250 µm coating must always be visible when the fiber is lightly pushed
into the tube.
