SPLICING OPERATION --Step 5--

Insert second fiber


Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with the opposite fiber.

When inserting the second fiber, be sure it touches the other fiber. This can be done either by feel, or by seeing the first fiber move slightly on contact.

Secure the second fiber in the fiber clamp. Be sure to leave a small bow in the fiber. This puts pressure on the fibers ensuring good contact between them when the v-groove clamp is closed.
