Therefore, specialized tools are used for this. Otherwise, outliers and inaccurately trimmed elements cause serious problems in. Optical cable stripping tool Optical cable transverse stripping knife, vise, utility knife, scissors, strengthening core cutters, toilet paper and alcohol cotton balls Methods and procedures of optical cable stripping 1, according to the actual determine the cable stripping length, generally in. The operation and skills of fiber optic fusion splicing technology can be mainly divided into five steps: fiber stripping, fiber cutting, fiber melting, fiber sleeve, and fiber winding. And tools used for fiber fusion: fusion splicer; fiber cleaver; cable stripper; fiber optic stripper; alcohol;. Fusion splicing joins two optical fibers permanently using an electric arc. It creates a continuous path for light signals with minimal reflection and attenuation. Compared to mechanical splicing: The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-568. This device is slightly different from other welding machines. Welding of optical fibers requires high precision, two previously prepared ends. There are two ways of fiber optic cable termination, namely, connectors and splicing.
