Buffer Stripping Steps
250μm Coated Fiber Strip
1. Install the boot. Insert the fiber end through the small end of the boot. Slide the boot
back out of the way.
2. Place one build-up tube (F250BT) onto the fiber and slide it back out of the way.
3. Place an insertion mark on the build-up
tube at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43”
(11mm) for SC/ST, from the end of the
tube closest to the end of the fiber.
4. Use buffer stripper to strip at least 1.18"
(30mm) of coating.
5. Place an insertion mark on the coated
fiber 2" (51mm) from the end of the
stripped coating.
IMPORTANT! 250µm Coated Fiber Stripping Dimensions. Due to printing variations, use a rigid scale for
stripping dimensions, or the appropriate Panduit laminated template.
6. Slide the leading edge of the build-up tube to the start of the coating after cleaving the fiber.
900μm Tight-Buffered Fiber Strip
1. Insert the fiber end through the small end of the 900μm boot. Slide the boot back out of the
way.
2. Use buffer stripper to strip at least 1.18" (30mm) of buffer.
3. Use the marking pen to place an insertion mark at 0.59” (15mm) for LC and 0.43” (11mm) for
SC/ST, back from the end of the stripped buffer.
