Fiber Optic Cable Stripping Step 6

Step 6 involves inspecting the cleaved fiber end to ensure it is clean, smooth, and free from defects before termination.

After stripping and cleaning the fiber, Step 6 requires using a fiber optic inspection microscope or a visual fault locator (VFL) to examine the cleaved end of the fiber. This step ensures that the fiber has a perpendicular, smooth end face without nicks, cracks, or debris, which is critical for optimal signal transmission and connector performance .

Detailed Procedure for Step 6
  1. Prepare the fiber for inspection: After stripping the protective coatings and cleaning the fiber with alcohol wipes, make sure the fiber is free of dust and residue .
  2. Use the inspection tool: Place the cleaved fiber end under a fiber optic microscope or use a VFL to check for imperfections. The microscope allows you to see scratches, chips, or uneven cleaves that could affect signal quality .
  3. Evaluate the cleave quality: A proper cleave should be flat, perpendicular to the fiber axis, and free of cracks or chips. Any irregularities can cause signal loss or connector failure .
  4. Repeat if necessary: If the cleave is not acceptable, recleave the fiber using a fiber optic cleaver and re-inspect until the end face meets quality standards .
  5. Multiple fibers: When terminating multiple fibers in a cable, repeat the inspection process for each fiber individually to ensure consistent quality across all strands . Step 6 is crucial because even minor defects in the fiber end can lead to signal attenuation, reflection, or connector failure, making this inspection a key quality control step in fiber optic termination .
