Use the fiber strippers to strip ~1" (25mm) from the end of the fiber in 3 steps, about 1/4-3/8" (6-8mm) at a time. In an industry where precision is not just a goal but a requirement, the quality of your stripping tool directly impacts signal integrity, network reliability, and overall. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating (often 30–40 mm) from a fiber end so that the bare glass is exposed without scratching or nicking it. In some applications, “window strip” operations are required, where a short section of coating is. In this instructional video, Bob Licari, Test Equipment Product Manager, demonstrates a simple way to strip optical fiber. more Audio tracks for some languages were automatically generated. 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. Sharp-edged slots in the jaws. Always wear safety glasses when doing any of these exercises and dispose of all fiber scraps properly. When working with fiber optic strands, an entirely new level of precision is required for the task as the quality and accuracy of the fiber stripper will literally make or break your efforts.
