One of the most common problems is the stripping tool cutting too deeply into the fiber, causing damage to the core. 9mm outer jacket, tight buffered, which you can strip down to 250μm, and then one has to remove the colored layer on the last few cm to strip them down to 125μm bare glass fiber, to cleave and splice. Executive Summary: A fiber optic pigtail is one of the most commonly specified yet least understood components in structured cabling. In this detailed video, we'll walk you through the fiber optic pigtail splicing process — from preparation to final testing.
