Please Read First
Please make sure to read and understand termination in-
structions completely. Improper assembly will cause poor ter-
mination results and cause damage to termination kit
components.
Make sure you wear eye protection during the cleaving
process. The bare fiber is sharp and may splinter; handle very
carefully. Make sure fiber is disposed of properly, in a hard-
sided container.
OFS Specialty Photonics Division warrants this
termination kit to be free of defects for a period of
90 days from the date of purchase. Each kit is qualified at our

defective due to workmanship within the stated warranty pe-
riod. (Excludes damage to the fiber stripper, cleave tool, and/or

placements or repairs be made at our manufacturing facility,
