How to Prepare Fiber Optic Indoor/Outdoor Stranded Loose Tube Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the preparation of fiber optic cable, including sheath removal, core preparation, and fiber preparation.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Eye and Hand Protection, Approved Cable Cutters, Needle Nose Pliers, Sheath Knife, Buffer Tube Removal Tool, Primary Coating Stripping Tool, Tape Measure, Scissors/Snips
Supplies needed:
Clean Cotton Cloths, Water Absorbent Tape, Binder Strings, Flame Barrier Tape
- Remove the cable sheath
Mark a length of six feet (2 meters) from the end of the cable on the outer sheath. Use a sheath knife to ring the circumference of the sheath at this mark and gently flex the cable to separate the sheath. Discard the removed sheath section.
- Prepare the cable core
Cut the ripcord and unwrap the outer strength members. Remove any water absorbent tape and binder strings from around the buffer tubes. Separate the color-coded buffer tubes from the central strength member and cut the central strength member to the appropriate length.
- Prepare the buffer tubes
Check the blade setting on the buffer tube removal tool. Measure and mark the length of the tube to be removed, then ring the tube in 1-2 ft sections. Remove the desired amount of fiber and wipe excess thixotropic gel from the exposed fiber with a clean cotton cloth.
- Strip the optical fibers
Using scissors, cut the fibers to the appropriate length. Use a primary coating stripping tool to remove the 250 μm diameter coating from the fiber, followed by a single wipe with an alcohol-dampened cloth to remove any residual debris.
