General

1.1 This procedure describes how to access fibers in a

buffer tube in a mid-span location with or without slack

using the Corning Cable Systems OFT-000 Optical Fiber

Access Tool (OFAT) (Figure 1).

1.2 The Optical Fiber Access Tool is designed to split a

buffer tube to expose the fibers inside without damaging

them. The resulting buffer tube halves can be easily

removed with scissors.

1.3 The tool utilizes blades mounted in two precisely

machined grooves to cut the buffer tubes. The smaller

groove cuts buffer tubes 2.4 mm - 2.6 mm (0.094 -

0.102 in.) in diameter; the larger groove cuts buffer tubes

2.7 mm - 3.1 mm (0.106 - 0.122 in.) in diameter.

1.4 The OFT-000 tool is equipped with a gauge to

determine buffer tube diameter. A thumbscrew latch

facilitates cutting buffer tubes in situations where it is

difficult for the operator to grip the tool.

1.5 Both center pieces and all four outer pieces of the

OFT-000 are marked with either one or two dots to aid in

reassembling the tool after cleaning or blade replace-ment.

1.6 This issue illustrates OFT-000 tools manufactured

after February, 1993. If you are using the previous model

OFT-000 (Figure 2), please refer to issue 3 of this

document .

1.7 This issue reflects the introduction of Gel-free buffer

tubes.

2. Precautions

2.1 Safety Precautions

Safety Glasses

WARNING: The wearing of safety glasses to

protect the eyes from accidental injury is strongly

recommended when handling chemicals and cutting

fiber.

Safety Gloves

CAUTION: The wearing of safety gloves to

protect your hands from accidental injury when using sharp-

bladed tools is strongly recommended. Use extreme care when

the utility knife's blade is exposed. Dispose of used blades

2.2

Chemical Precautions

Fiber-Clean Wipes

WARNING: Contains hydrocarbons. Apply in

rooms having normal room ventilation. For prolonged

and/or repeated use, gloves are recommended. Avoid eye

contact. Keep away from open flames and ignition sources.

f ingested, do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician. If

contact with eyes, wash eyes with water for 15 minutes.

2.3

Buffer Tube Handling Precautions

CAUTION: Buffer tubes are sensitive to excessive

pulling, bending and crushing forces. Great care should be

exercised when handling buffer tubes. Excessive bending will

cause kinking which may damage the fibers inside.
