In this informative guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of stripping and preparing fibre optic cable for termination, covering techniques, tools, and best practices to help you achieve successful terminations in your fibre optic installations. Marcel Buijs, EMEA Business Development, Technical Sales, Fiber Optic Center, Inc. with over twenty-five years in the photonics industry, brings the latest information on making the ultimate fiber optic product and improving process yield. Without question, good stripping techniques in your fiber. Always wear safety glasses when doing any of these exercises and dispose of all fiber scraps properly. Safety Rules - Read before beginning any exercises. 1: Use kevlar scissors to cut the cable at the middle. We'll splice the two pieces back together in an exercise and put new connectors on the. Optical fibers are typically protected with fiber coatings made from polymers such as acrylate, silicone or polyimide. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating. In this lesson, we will identify and examine cables, then prepare them for splicing or termintion by stripping the cable to expose the coated fibers.
