Static electricity is an enemy of fiber optics and splicer electronics, especially in dry environments and/or air conditioning. Static electricity can build up in your clothes and body, so the use of anti-static wrist straps and/or an anti-static mat may help in preventing. es conform to the guidelines expressed in the American National Standards Institute document (ANSI Z535) for hazard alert messages. Alerts are included in this instru d ath or serious i jury ectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87, for eye protection from accidental injury wh n ha dling chemicals, cab. Stripping fibers is the most critical phase of splicing where fiber damage is most likely to occur. Try to avoid nicks or cuts as it weakens fiber and can cause long term reliability problems Strip 900 micron buffer first, then 250 micron, both in one step. To minimize fiber nicks, strip in one. Before splicing, according to the material and type of the optical fiber, set the key parameters such as the optimal pre-melting main melting current and time, and the amount of fiber feeding. During the welding process, the "V" groove, electrode, objective lens, welding chamber, etc. of the. Introduction This Program provides supervision, employees and safety managers with general safety rules, task safety procedures and best techniques for installation of quality fiber optic cable systems (cable handling, splicing, pulling, terminating testing and trouble shooting tasks). It is the. All abfiber optic cables and associated accepted handling practice How-to-Install-and-Splice.
