Use fiber stripping pliers when fusing fibers

Home / Use fiber stripping pliers when fusing fibers

Using the fiber stripping pliers, carefully remove the outer jacket of the fiber. This application note addresses general handling of fibers from NKT Photonics, including how to strip the protective coating, how to cleave the fibers and tips for coupling light to and from the fibers. The guide provides the complete workflow, covering safety precautions, tool selection, fiber preparation, fusion operation, quality control, and. 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.

Fiber Cable Stripping Tools: A Comprehensive Guide

Incorrect stripping can easily damage the fiber, leading to signal loss or complete failure. This guide explores the diverse range of fiber cable stripping tools, their applications, and best practices for their

NKT Photonics App notes

For fibers with a non-standard outer diameter, we recommend an adjustable stripper. Thermal strippers (like the stripper attached to the Vytran FFS-2000 or the FiberStrip 7030 from Schleuniger) can also

Precautions for fiber splicing

The fiber stripping pliers should be perpendicular to the fiber and tilted inward at a certain angle. Then use the jaws to gently hold the right hand of the fiber, and then forcefully push it out
