Home / It will break when peeling off the middle layer of the fiber

Fiber optic cables can suffer damage that effectively breaks the fiber optic strands in the middle of the cable run. This often occurs from abrasion or rodent damage on unprotected cables, or simply from accidental cuts from diggers, landscapers and contractors. Marcel Buijs, EMEA Business Development, Technical Sales, Fiber Optic Center, Inc. with over twenty-five years in the photonics industry, brings the latest information on making the ultimate fiber optic product and improving process yield. The operation and skills of fiber optic fusion splicing technology can be mainly divided into five steps: fiber stripping, fiber cutting, fiber melting, fiber sleeve, and fiber winding.
