SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS Plastic Fiber Optic
Removing the Buffer
To strip the buffer from the plastic fibers,
use the SIMATIC NET buffer stripper
(included in the stripping tool set).
Press the two handles of the tool and
hold them together.
Open the handles of the tool until the
clamp releases the cord. Remove the
cord from the tool. Only open the
handles of the tool completely after you
have removed the cord.
Caution: If the handles are opened
completely before the cord has been
removed, the fiber can be damaged by
the blade as it is retracted.
Installation Instructions for BFOC Connectors
Important note:
Use the opening labeled AWG 16 (1.5
mm Ø). Smaller openings damage the
fiber and must not be used.
The cord is automatically clamped in the
tool...
Repeat the same procedure for the
second cord.

Insert the cord into the opening labeled
