ALWAYS wear eye protection when working with optical fibers. NEVER look into the end of Figure 1 terminated or unterminated fibers. Laser radiation is invisible but can damage eye tissue. NEVER 1. INTRODUCTION eat, drink, or smoke when working with fibers. The MT-RJ jack kits listed in Figure 1 are designed to terminate 250-mm coated optical fiber. The jack kits must be used with only the optical fiber size given in Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly before assembling the jack kits. This could lead to ingestion of glass particles. CAUTION During assembly, keep components and tools as clean as possible to avoid contamination in the ! optical interface.

Open the fiber clamp of the fiber optic cleaver. Press the button, and slide the carriage back (toward the fiber clamp). Then move the fiber slide back until it stops. 2. Place the stripped fiber into the slot so that the end of the buffer is at the 4-mm marking. See Figure 3, Detail A. 3. While applying pressure on the buffer, carefully slide the fiber slide forward (toward the carriage) until it stops. See Figure 3, Detail B. 4. Gently close the fiber clamp, and slide the carriage forward. DO NOT touch the button while sliding the carriage. See Figure 3, Detail C. 3.2. Preparation A.

Refer to Figure 2. 1. Using the fiber optic combination strip tool, strip the fiber to 31 to 33 mm [1.22 to 1.30 in.]. 5. Open the fiber clamp, and move the fiber slide back until it stops. 6. Remove the cleaved fiber, and properly dispose of the scrap fiber. If the fiber does not cleave, repeat the process starting with Step 3 of Paragraph 3.2.A.
