Stripping (fiber)
Stripping is the act of removing the protective polymer coating around optical fiber in preparation for fusion splicing. The splicing process begins by preparing both fiber ends for fusion, which requires
Get QuoteWhen fibers aren't stripped properly, we see higher rates of splice loss across the board. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating (often ...
