4. Cleave fiber to the appropriate
measurement. For the Corning type connector
this measurement = 20mm from the 2.0 or
3.0mm jacket to fiber
1. Slide the appropriate boot onto the
fiber cable. Slide on the LC trigger after
installing the boot.
2. Furcation tube installation
Refer to page 2 for detailed instructions
3. Soft peel coating removal
Refer to page 2 for detailed instructions
5. Insert fiber into lead-in tube
Refer to page 2 for detailed instructions
6. Verification light

• Cleerline SSF
TM
can be terminated per standard connector using soft peel coating for buffer measurement if desired. Our exclusive SSF
TM
coating allows cleave lengths to be
adjusted to simplify the process of termination.
• Dependent upon specific connector model/type activator mechanism may need to be placed in the “open” position.
• SSF
TM
Fiber does not require the use of alcohol cleaning as the glass is not exposed and is protected with SSF
TM
proprietary coating. Remove soft peel with fingers only. Alcohol can
be used if desired.
• Due to the bend insensitivity of SSF
TM
fiber, your cleaver may require a wheel height adjustment to be properly cleaved.
This guide assumes proper selection of connector matching cable type.

This instructional supplements the installation guide for Corning UniCam® connectors. SSF
TM
fibers have a integral polymer that
provides incredible bend and durability properties with a 250 micron soft peel acrylate. SSF
TM
fibers can be handled much like
typical buffered 900um fibers in both strength and durablity. Following the installation steps in the Corning manual and adding or
deleting the specific steps as noted for installation with 250um, 900 micron buffered and furcated, or 2.0mm & 3.0mm jacketed
cables will provide for ease of installation. This instructional illustrates 2.0mm & 3.0mm installation.
For connector installation, unless your connectors include a 900 micron furcation build up tube, please obtain this part from
Cleerline as it is necessary for optimum termination as noted in this instructional.
