How to insert optical fiber into the fusion splice tray

Insert optical fibers into a fusion splice tray by carefully routing, looping, and securing them to protect splices and maintain proper bend radius.Step 1: Prepare the Fiber

Strip the fiber jacket and buffer tube according to the splicing documentation, typically exposing about 18–20 cm of fiber to allow for looping inside the tray . Clean the bare fiber with 99% isopropyl alcohol and use a precision cleaver to ensure a flat, mirror-like end for splicing . Avoid touching the glass surface to prevent contamination.

Step 2: Perform the Fusion Splice

Use a fusion splicer to join the prepared fiber to a pigtail or another fiber. Place each fiber in the splicer's V-groove, align cores, and run the splice cycle. After splicing, apply a heat-shrink splice protection sleeve to safeguard the joint .

Step 3: Route the Fiber in the Tray

Loop the fiber twice around the inside perimeter of the splice tray to maintain a proper bend radius (typically >30 mm) and prevent stress on the splice . Ensure fibers enter and exit the tray at the designated corners, following the tray's routing diagram. Ribbon fibers should be routed according to the tray's specific configuration.

Step 4: Secure the Fiber

Use the tray's crimp tabs and a cable crimping tool to anchor buffer tubes without crushing them. Position the buffer tube slightly beyond the tab (about 1 cm) and tighten the crimp tool lock nut to hold it in place . For additional stability, zip ties or tape can be used to secure loose fibers, but avoid excessive tension.

Step 5: Final Checks

Verify that all fibers are properly looped, splices are protected, and there are no sharp bends or kinks. Close the tray cover and ensure the fibers remain strain-relieved. Label the fibers if required for identification and future maintenance . By following these steps, you ensure that the optical fibers are safely inserted into the fusion splice tray, minimizing signal loss and protecting the splices for long-term reliability.
