Field Splicing Fiber Cable

[geo57]

Hi,

I am looking for some instructions on the procedure used to terminate fiber optic cables. I am planning a field trip to a remote site, and will need to terminate a few ST type connectors. I am in the process of ordering a compression type termination kit, but I don't know how to use it once I get it, and I'm concerned there may not be any instructions with it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

My suggestion to you is that you immediately contact your distributor and have them arrange to train you in the proper termination procedures for the connectors you are using. Definitely the idea of learning by experience can be disasterous in this instance.
