What is the best way to use these fibre strippers?
The angle of the pliers to the fiber should not be too flat, otherwise there is a risk of bending the fiber too much and stressing it when stripping. Glass doesn''t like that.
Fiber and Cable Stripper – Types, Uses & Guide
When splicing optical fibers, use a fiber stripper to remove the tightly wrapped fiber. When the aramid fiber in the optical cable is spliced, use fiber cable cutting scissors to cut it off.
Stripping Techniques For Your Fiber Optic Cable Assembly Process
A common method is to perform a 45-degree bend test on the fiber where, if the fiber OD had been “nicked” by the stripping tool, this bend would cause the fiber to break at the scratch point.
