Slide the boot and crimp ring onto the 3mm cable.

Slide the cable and fiber to the dimensions shown:

Clean the fiber with alcohol and cleaning wipe such as Kim Wipes.

Insert a syringe tip in to the tube until it bottoms against the ferrule. Inject epoxy into the connector body until a SMALL bead appears at the end of the ferrule. Do not overfill or let epoxy flow out the back of the tube.

Insert the fiber in to the ferrule until the buffer bottoms against the ferrule. There should be no epoxy running from the back.

Flare the Kelvar evenly around the back of the knurled part of the connector body. Pull the crimp ring forward and crimp the front using a 0.156” (3.96 mm) diameter round crimp tool. This secures the aramid yarns.

For 3.0 mm cable only : Secure the jacket by crimping the smaller step of the crimp ring with a 0.128” (3.25 mm) hex crimp.

For 2.0 mm cable : Place a band of epoxy where the jacket exits the crimp ring. Be careful not to apply too much, as the epoxy may wick inside the jacket.

Apply a band of epoxy around the back of the crimp to keep the boot in place. Be careful not to apply too much.

Push the strain relief boot over the connector backbone.

Cure epoxy as per the selected epoxy/adhesive manufacturer recommendations.

Cleave the fiber.

Polish the connector, inspect and install the dust cap to prevent damage to the end face.
