CORNING FBC-006 Bedienungsanleitung

1. General

1.1 This procedure describes how to use and maintain the

Corning Cable Systems FBC-006 fiber cleaver (Figure ).

1.2 The FBC-006 Precision Fiber Cleaver provides

smooth, flat, perpendicular fiber end-faces necessary for low-

loss fiber splicing. The FBC-006 produces high-quality,

repeatable cleaves for all 25 µm single-mode and multimode

fibers.The standard unit cleaves all 250 µm and 900 µm

coated fibers to lengths of 5 mm or greater.

1.3 Read through and understand this manual completely before

your first use. Failure to do so may result in poorly cleaved fibers

and damage to the cleaver.

1.4 Featuring a diamond cutting blade for durability, the

FBC-006 operates on the “pull, bend, scribe and break”

principle. The FBC-006 produces repeatable fiber end-faces

that average less than 0.7° from perpendicular.

1.5 Figure identifies the parts of the FBC-006 cleaver.

A metric length scale incorporated in the base of the cleaver

allows accurate cutting to any desired length between 5 mm

and 5 mm.

1.6 This issue includes updated corporate information.

Safety Glasses

WARNING: The wearing of safety glasses to protect

the eyes from accidental injury is strongly recommended when

cleaving fibers. Pieces of glass fiber are very sharp and can

damage the cornea of the eye easily.

WARNING: Cleaved glass fibers are very sharp and

can pierce the skin easily. Do not let cut pieces of fiber stick to

your clothing or drop in the work area where they can cause

injury later. se tweezers to pick up cut or broken pieces of the

glass fibers and place them on a loop to tape kept for that purpose

alone. Good housekeeping is very important.

Caution: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive

pulling, bending and crushing forces. Consult the cable

specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend

cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.

Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do

not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause

damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the

cable. The cable may have to be replaced.

4. Cutter Operation

4.1 Make a loop of vinyl tape, adhesive side out, on which

to place cut pieces of fiber. Place the loop in a convenient

location.

4.2 Open the cleaver and make sure that the following

areas of the cleaver are clean:

• Cleaver arm • Fiber clamps • Anvil

• Diamond blade • Fiber guide

If any of these areas need cleaning, follow the appropriate

cleaning instructions in Section 5, Maintenance.

4.3 As necessary, insert the proper fiber guide adapter for

your installation according to Section 5, Maintenance.

250 µm and 900 µm Coated Fibers

4.3 Prepare the cable as described in its manufacturer’s

documentation.

4.4 Strip at least 4 cm ( .57 in) of coating from the fiber

according to its manufacturer’s instructions (Figure 2).

Figure 2

4.5 Clean the bare fiber by wiping it with a lint-free tissue

soaked in alcohol. From this point on, do not touch the

cleaned fiber with your fingers.

4.6 Place the fiber in the cleaver, aligning the end of the

fiber coating with the scale to give the required cleave

length. Hold the fiber in place with your left thumb or

forefinger (Figure 3).

The bare fiber should extend across the base to the right fiber

guide.

4.7 Gently swing the cleaver arm down so that the upper

fiber clamps are resting on the fiber.

4.8 Push down on the cleaver with a slow and gentle motion

until you hear a click — the fiber is now cleaved (Figure 4).

Figure 4

4.9 Remove the cut end of the fiber with tweezers and put

it on the loop of tape (Figure 5).

Figure 5

4.10 After completing use of the cutter, properly dispose of

the tape loop holding the cut fiber ends.

2.9 mm Single-fiber Cable

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the proper fiber guide is

installed in the cleaver (see step 5.2).

4.11 Measure and remove the outer cable jacket and aramid

yarn according to the appropriate connector or splicer

instructions for your installation (Figure 6).

4.12 Place the fiber in the cleaver to give the desired cleave

length as shown in Figure 7. Hold the fiber in place with

your left thumb or forefinger- position the fiber so that its

bow is placed downward to force the fiber to lay straight

across the blade.

The bare fiber should extend across the base to the right fiber

guide. Make sure that no aramid yarn is on the clamping pads

during cleaving (Figure 7).

4.13 Gently swing the cleaver arm down so that the upper

fiber clamps are resting on the fiber.

4.14 Push down on the cleaver with a slow and gentle motion

until you hear a click – the fiber is now cleaved (see Figure

4).

4.15 Remove the cut end of the fiber with tweezers and

put it on the loop of tape (see Figure 5).

4.16 After completing use of the cutter, properly dispose of

the tape loop holding the cut fiber ends.

5. Maintenance

Cutter Cleaning

5.1 After each day’s use, clean the guides, clamping pads,

blade, and anvil of the FBC-006 as follows:

a) Clean the clamping pads by inserting a cleaning

strip soaked in alcohol between the pads and

pressing down on the cleaver to close them. Pull

the strip from between the pads (Figure 8). Repeat

this step several times.

b) To clean the diamond cutting blade:

Insert a cleaning strip soaked in alcohol between the

anvil and the cutting blade. Gently press down on

the cleaver bar to bring the anvil into contact with the

strip. Pull the strip from the cleaver.

Open the cleaver and use the strip to clean the end

faces of the blade (Figure 9).

Figure 9

c) Carefully inspect the cutter for any fiber remnants,

bits of dirt, etc. Repeat steps a and b if necessary.

Changing Guides

5.2 The following optional guides and guide sets are

available for the FBC-006 cleaver:

• FBC-006-04 -standard universal fiber guide (for 250 mm

and 900 mm fiber

• FBC-006-05 - 3 mm fiber guide, permits cleaving 3 mm

cable for FuseLite™ termination.

• FBC-006-07 - Fanout and OptiStrip Kit, two fiber guides

and instructions, permits cleaving 3 mm

OptiStrip cable or fanned-out fibers in a

buffer tube fan-out kit.

5.3 To change a guide :

a) Use a 2.5 mm hex key to remove the hex-head

cap screw which secures the guide to the cleaver

base (Figure 0).

b) Place the new guide in the base and secure it with

the cap screw. Optionally, the guide may be held in

place by the magnetic base without the securing

screw.

Issue 7 SRP-001-062 Page 3

CAUTION: Never substitute sand paper or other

abrasive papers for the cleaning strips. Doing so will destroy the

polished surface of the anvil and clamps.

Blade Replacement

5.4 If your cleaver begins to perform inconsistently or fails

to make acceptable cuts, first clean the blade as described in

step 5. b.

Check the condition of the blade for damage — if nicks or

other damage to the blade are visible, replace the blade as

described in step 5.5.

5.5 To replace the diamond blade assembly (p/n

FBC-006-0 ):

a) Use a 2.5 mm hex key to remove the screws

from the blade access covers (Figure 9). Lift

the covers out of the cleaver base.

b) Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the slotted

screw which serves as a blade retainer

(Figure ).

c) Use tweezers to remove the old blade assembly.

Figure

d) Clean any dust or fiber fragments from inside

the base of the cleaver.

e) Insert the new blade assembly into the base of

the cleaver. Be sure to properly place its shafts

in the two recesses in the base of the cleaver.

f) Carefully replace the slotted retainer screw

removed in step b and the two covers and

cap screws removed in step a. Do not over

tighten the screws — the blade must be able to

pivot freely.
