INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS     PN256D

3.4

CRIMPING

For jacketed cable only

.

Note: Be careful not to break the bare fibers 

          protruding from the ferrules during this step. 

3.4.1 Slide the crimp sleeve back, freeing the aramid 

yarn. The cable jacket should nearly touch the rear 
of the backbone of the ferrule assembly.                                              

Note: Do not press the cable jacket forward to 
touch the rear of the backbone. There should be 
a gap between the jacket and backbone.

3.4.2 With the appropriate strength member (aramid 

yarn) cutters, cut the aramid yarn even with the 
flange.  

3.4.3 Flare the aramid yarn 

evenly

 around the perimeter 

of the grooved area of the backbone of the ferrule 
assembly. 

For 2.0mm/1.6mm jacketed cable

, use 

tweezers for best results. 

3.4.4 Slide the crimp sleeve over the backbone, trapping 

the aramid yarn between the crimp sleeve and the 
grooved area of the backbone. 

3.4.5

For 3.0mm jacketed cable:

 Make sure the crimp 

sleeve is seated against the flange of the backbone, 
crimp the large end of the crimp sleeve using a 
.151" hex of the FCRP5 Universal Crimp Tool. 
Using the .128" hex of the crimp tool, crimp the 
small end of the crimp sleeve over the cable jacket.

3.4.6

For 2.0mm/1.6mm jacketed cable:

 Align the front 

edge of the crimp sleeve with the front recessed 
edge of the die pocket of the FLPT crimp tool.

Note: 

The front recessed edge of the crimp die 

pocket is the side with the ribs.

Make sure the crimp sleeve is seated against the 

backbone and crimp the crimp sleeve.

3.4.7 Repeat for the second ferrule assembly.  

3.5 CLEAVING 

3.5.1 Using a cleave tool, gently make one small score 

mark across the bare fiber just above the endface of 
the ferrule.  Pull the fiber away from the ferrule and 
discard it on one of the sticky tabs provided.  A 
short stub of fiber protruding from the tip of the 
ferrule should be visible when viewed through the 
FLOUPEX10 Eye Loupe.

3.5.2 Repeat for the second ferrule assembly.
