3. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
ALWAYS weareye protection when working with
optical fibers. NEVER look into the end of
terminated or unterminated fibers. Laser radiation
is invisible butcandamageeye tissue.
NEVEReat, drink, or smoke whenworking with
fibers. This could lead to ingestion of glass
particles.
During assembly, keep kit components and tools
as clean as possible to avoid contamination in
the optical interface.

3.2. Preparation
A. Stripping the Cable
1. For workstation jacks,slide the jackboot(small
diameter end rst) onto the ber.
IMPORTANT —For correct system polarity, Channel“A”
must be connected to Channel “B” andChannel “B”
must be connected to Channel “A” on any cable run
or cable assembly (including fiberoptic equipment).
Refer to Figure 2.
2. Using the beroptic combination strip tool, strip
the cable jacket to expose approximately381 to
508 mm [15 to 20 in.] o ber. Trim the strength
members even with the jacket.
3. Using the micro--strip strip tool, strip the ber to
35 to 37 mm [1.38 to 1.46 in.].
