Guide for splicing of fiber optic fibers | EFB-Elektronik
For the splicing process, now strip the fiber to be spliced using the proper tool. Then clean it thoroughly. The fiber is scored using a cleaver and broken at a 90° angle.

Begin by carefully removing the cable's outer jacket, strength members, and buffer tubes using a fiber optic stripper until the bare fiber is exposed. It is impossible to work in fiber optics without having a good working knowledge about cables and skills in pulling, placing and preparing cables for termination and splicing. What happens if you damage the fiber during this production step? A tiny scratch or nick in the optical fiber is like a time bomb. This fiber optic splicing technique involves the precise alignment of two fiber optic cables, held in place by a self-contained assembly rather than a permanent bond. In this week's video, Ben Hamlitsch shows you how to cut, strip, clean, and cleave your fiber optic cable! He also shares some best practices to follow and additional details you'll want to know along the way! Interested in learning more? Check out our detailed blog that covers this pro.
