How To Connect Fibers

by Michael Groves

 

 

Why Would You Need To Connect Fibers Together?

-You cut your fibers too short
-You have a modular system
-Fibers are too small to get to the LampLighter Box

Tools You’ll Need

-Syringe with index matching fluid (In the Dwarvin Kit)
-Crimp tool
-Aluminum tubing (In the Dwarvin Kit)

Steps To Connect The Fibers

  1. Make sure each fiber is cleanly cut at the ends
  2. Take Aluminum tubing and insert each fiber into it.  Insert the first side until it comes out the other end of the tubing. 
  3. Take syringe filled with index matching fluid and put a small amount on the end of fiber. 
  4. Draw the coupling tube back over the fiber
  5. Take syringe filled with index matching fluid and put a small amount on the end of the other fiber
  6. Put the second fiber into the aluminum tube
  7. Use crimpers to crimp each side of the tube
