nDivot®Bare Fiber Testing Device DVTK
The Divot® Bare Fiber Adapter (Tester) is a device that quickly connects unterminated
(bare) fiber to OTDR’s or other fiber optic test equipment. Simply strip the fiber, cleave and
insert into the Divot® Module. In an instant, the fiber is connected to your OTDR with low
loss and low reflectance.

Before you begin: Load Cartridge
An OCC cartridge needs to be loaded into the Divot® Module before
use. Six sealed cartridges are included in the case.
nLoading an OCC Cartridge
You do not need to remove the Divot® module from the patch cable
when loading a cartridge.
End Cap
1
Unscrew and remove the End Cap to expose the split sleeve.

After removing the tabs from the OCC cartridge, push the larger end
into the sleeve.

nConnect patch cable to OTDR or test equipment.
nBreak out a few inches of the fiber to be tested down to 250µm buffer.
Strip fiber down to 125µm cladding. Cleave fiber leaving a minimum of 3/4”
of fiber. Clean or wipe off fiber if needed.
nInsert your prepared bare fiber end into the round opening on the end of
the OCC cartridge protruding from the Divot® module.
The bare fiber will be stopped by the attached patch cable assembly. If a connection is not
made on the first insertion, pull the fiber back slightly into the module and push forward again.
If using uncleaved fiber and are unable to get a successful connection after a few attempts,
remove the fiber and rebreak or cut the fiber again.
nProceed with testing.

Getting Started
Instructions
Screw on the End Cap until it stops. The Divot® Module is now
loaded and ready for use. Place the dust cap included in the case
(not shown) onto the end of the cartridge protruding from the Divot®
module when storing the unit.
5
Insert Divot® module into the Desktop Mount/Holder by removing the
top half of the holder. Place the Divot® module into the cut out
section on the bottom half of the holder. Place the top section over
the Divot® module. The top section is held in place by magnets.
There should be a slight gap between the top and bottom section of
the Desktop Mount/Holder.
6
Caution: Always wear protective eyewear when working with bare or active fiber. Never look
into the end of the Divot® Module when patch cable is connected to active test equipment.

Maintenance
nClearing a clogged ferrule assembly
If fiber happens to break off inside the ferrule assembly,
Clean-Out Wire and a Clean-Out Wire Guide is supplied to
assist in removing any debris. Disconnect the patch cable
from the Divot® Module by rotating the LiteLOCK® dial
slightly to the left and pull the connector out from the
interface. Remove the end cap, OCC cartridge and sleeve.
Pull the ferrule assembly out of the bulkhead housing.
Push the ferrule assembly into the 2.5mm interface of the
Clean-out Wire Guide. Insert a piece of clean-out wire into
the small hole on the end of the Clean-out Wire Guide and
slowly push forward to clean out any broken fiber or debris.
Reassemble the Divot® Module and insert the connector
with the red boot or red band from the patch cable into the
Universal Bulkhead Housing and secure by rotating the
LiteLOCK® dial to the right. Do not overtighten.
nCartridge Replacement
The OCC cartridge is filled with optical coupling compound and under normal use will typically
produce a minimum of 500 insertions. The cartridge needs to be replaced when you start to
experience inconsistent launches. In some cases, especially over prolong use, debris can build
up in the cavity on the tip of the Ferrule Assembly which will cause inconsistency in the
connection. Before replacing the cartridge, clean out the ferrule assembly. Please refer to page
2 for instructions on how to replace (load) the Optical Compound Cartridge.

nConnecting and Disconnecting the patch cable for cleaning
Occasionally you may have to clean the connector on the patch cable (identified with a red boot
or band below the boot) and/or both ends of the ferrule assembly inside the Divot® Module. The
ferrule assembly can be removed from the bulkhead housing and cleaned or immersed in
alcohol. To remove the Divot® Module from the Patch Cable simply loosen the LiteLOCK® dial
by rotating it slightly to the left and pull the connector out from the interface. To reconnect the
patch cable, insert the connector marked with a red boot or red band below the connector boot
into the Universal Bulkhead Housing. Push the ferrule of the connector into the 2.5mm interface
and secure by rotating the LiteLOCK® dial to the right. Do not overtighten. The LiteLOCK® dial
can also be unscrewed from the bulkhead housing in order to clean or replace the zirconia
sleeve. Over time, especially if inserting non-cleaved fiber, the patch cable mated to the Divot®
module will wear and may need to be replaced. Additional cables are available as accessories.
