A 250 um protective tube
A clear protective tube

Always wear eye protection when handling optical fibers
Dispose of any cleaved or cut ends properly

250um Fiber Termination

Slide the clear protective tube, 250um protective tube, the 900um boot, in order onto the fiber to be terminated
Refer to the strip template, and mark the 250um fiber at 40mm from end of the fiber
Strip 40mm of coating from the fiber
Check the fiber integrity by bending the stripped end slightly at 60°
Clean the bare fiber using the lint-free wipe moistened with fiber preparation fluid or 95% purity or better isopropyl alcohol
Insert the bare fiber into the CT30A cleaver and cleave to a length of 10.5mm plus or minus 0.5mm
The wedge clip is engaged at shipment, if the wedge becomes dislodged, squeeze the top and bottom of the wedge clip ensuring the wedge is inserted into the connector body, a click will be heard
Slide the 250um protective tubing into the end of the fiber coating

Option A: Termination without the use of a visual fault locator
Insert the fiber slowly into the rear of the connector until a connection is made
Make a bend in the fiber to maintain the connection
Squeeze both sides of the wedge clip to release the wedge
Discard the wedge clip
Slide the 900um boot onto the connector
Slide the clear protective tube towards the connector, and attach it to the 250um protective tube
Termination is now complete

Option B: Termination using the visual fault identifier
Remove the dust cap from the FAST connector, and insert the connector into the VFI (visual fault identifier)
Turn on the VFI, there will be a red glow in position 1 of the wedge clip
Insert the cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until the red glow dims
Make a bend in the fiber to maintain connection
Squeeze both sides of the wedge clip to release the wedge
Discard the wedge clip
Remove the VFI from the connector
Place the dust cap back onto the connector
Slide the 900um boot onto the connector
Slide the clear protective tube towards the connector and attach it to the 250um protective tube
