In particular, fiber stub 317 can be installed in a manner similar to fiber 117 described above. 397A polishing or cleaning material 360 in strip form can be placed in slot 313 prior to insertion of the field fiber 316, whose abutting end can be cleaved (flat or angled, with or without bevels) using a field fiber cleaver and cleaving process. 398The field fiber can then be inserted such that the polishing or cleaning material 360 is disposed between the abutting ends of fibers 317 and 316. 399The polishing or cleaning material 360 can remove debris that may be picked up by the abutting ends during the installation process. 400In particular, the abutting fiber ends can be cleaned by pulling a tab portion of the polishing or cleaning material 360 to remove the strip. 401As the strip is removed, it contacts both abutting fiber end faces. 402The gripping device can be actuated prior to or after the polishing process. 403In a preferred aspect, the polishing or cleaning material 360 can comprise a polishing ribbon tape, and/or other cleaning materials such as nonwoven materials, lint free materials, abrasives, adhesives, alcohol or HFE wipes disposed on either or both of the strip faces.
