Home / Stripping the outer layer of the optical cable
We'll splice the two pieces back together in an exercise and put new connectors on the bare ends in another exercise. 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. Also known as optical fiber cable strippers, they hold cable within a slot, squeeze their jaws to press through the coating, and slide the coating off the end of the cable.
Method for laser stripping of optical fiber and flat cable Abstract This invention results from the realization that a laser can remove the protective layer (s) from the glass or fused silica optical fiber
