1. Prepare the fiber cable according to the Connector Stripping Template, Fig 1:
Fig 1 
2. Prepare and apply adhesive in the needle and
squeeze
into the LC connector. Fill half way up the
connector, Fig 2:
Fig 2 
3. Dip
bare fiber and half the buffer into the primer. The buffer is
inserted into the primer so it can harden and fit tight, Fig 3:
Fig. 3 
4.
Wipe the primer off of the tip of the bare fiber to
allow it
to be more easily inserted into the connector, Fig 4:
Fig. 4 
Allow 1-3 minutes for the adhesive to harden before cleaving.
5.
Push the crimp sleeve assembly over to cover the
ferrul
Aramid Yarn and backbone connector, Fig 5:
Fig 5 
Crimp the sleeve assemblies, cut the ferrule and shrink the tubing
6.
Push the jacketed boot forward onto the grooved area of the
backbone until it is against the flange, Fig 6:
Fig 6 
7. Air polish
the fiber gently until you feel the fiber core is smooth, Fig 7:
Fig 7 
8. Polish the fiber core
to see if the core is good, Fig 8:

9. Use a Scope to view the
fiber core, Fig 9:

10. Test the fiber with a power meter or
light source to see the dB lost of each fiber, Fig 10:
Fig 10 
11. Place a dust cap over the ferrule assembly after each
fiber polish and test is complete.
12. Attach a duplex clip.
Note: Have used the AMP LC connector before but the
Siemon LC connector is the best fit for the fiber we use.
