With the fiber stripper, strip away the buffer coating exposing approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches of the glass fiber. For network managers and technicians, a poor splice can lead to significant signal degradation, network downtime, and costly troubleshooting. As fiber optic cables are generally only produced in lengths up to around 5 km, so when lengthier connections are needed, splicing two cables together becomes. According to experience, it is appropriate to peel the length of the optical cable in the range of 50~100CM and pay attention to the strength of the stripping. Depending on the outer jacket construction and fiber count, cables often need to exit the outer s eath or jacket and be presented to the splicing device at a sub-uniti d level.
