Fiber Strippers – tools, mechanical, thermal, chemical, plasma,

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.

Any ideas which stripper to use to strip fiber soft cable

With certain brands of cable, they would tend to break if stripping more than 1-2mm at a time. With those FO-CF strippers, it has made fiber prep very easy. Most cables strip without any

FO-SNC MILLER Fiber Optic Stripping and Kevlar Cutting Tool

Debris in a fiber notch can damage or break the fiber. The tool may be cleaned using a cleaner containing 99% isopropyl alcohol such as Miller FS400 Bifurcated Foam Tip Swipes.

Fiber Optic Hand Tools Tips from Fiber Optic Center

The “transition point” is where the buffered fiber is stripped away to reveal the bare fiber. This is often done mechanically, presenting an opportunity for damage to the bare fiber from the stripping tool.

Stripping Fibers

Techniques when using stripping tools

A common such 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.
