Longitudinal opening of optical cable bundle tube

Longitudinal opening of optical cable bundle tubes involves using specialized slitting tools to precisely cut the protective tube along its length, allowing access to the fibers inside without damaging them.Overview

The longitudinal opening, or stripping, of optical cable bundle tubes is a critical step in fiber optic cable preparation. It is used for both end terminations and midspan access of loose tube cables, central beam tubes, or microducts. The process ensures that the fibers inside the tube can be accessed safely for splicing, connectorization, or testing while maintaining the integrity of the remaining cable structure .

Tools and Techniques

1. Loose Tube Slitters and Strippers Specialized tools, often called loose tube slitter tools, are designed to longitudinally cut the tube without damaging the fibers inside. These tools typically feature:

  • Open-style structures with guide slots to accommodate different tube diameters, ranging from 1.5 mm to 11 mm .
  • Super alloy blades that are sharp and durable, ensuring precise cuts and long service life .
  • Multiple guide grooves to align the tube correctly and maintain consistent cutting depth .
  • Double-sided opening designs for easy insertion and removal of the cable . 2. Operational Steps
  • Select the appropriate guide slot for the tube diameter.
  • Place the optical cable into the open structure of the tool.
  • Slide the blade along the length of the tube to create a longitudinal slit.
  • Carefully remove the tube halves to expose the fibers for further handling . 3. Safety Considerations
  • Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling fiber optic cables .
  • Avoid looking directly into fiber ends that may carry laser light, as it can cause serious retinal damage .
  • Use the tool in a well-ventilated area if solvents are involved in cleaning or preparation .
Applications
  • Outdoor and indoor loose tube cables
  • Central beam tubes in multi-fiber cables
  • Microduct and ADSS cables for midspan access
  • Preparation for splice closures, cabinets, and pedestals .
Advantages
  • Precision and consistency in cutting the tube
  • Time-saving compared to manual methods
  • Reduced risk of fiber damage due to controlled blade depth and guide slots
  • Versatility for multiple tube diameters and cable types . In summary, longitudinal opening of optical cable bundle tubes is performed using specialized slitting tools with adjustable guide slots and sharp blades. Proper selection of the tool and adherence to safety procedures ensures efficient and safe access to the fibers inside loose tube or bundle optical cables .
