Use the fiber strippers to strip ~1" (25mm) from the end of the fiber in 3 steps, about 1/4-3/8" (6-8mm) at a time. Hold the stripper at a 45degree angle to the fiber to reduce stress on the fiber. Above is a diagram showing the various layers of a typical indoor patch cable. Other types of cables may have different construction or additional layers, but regardless of the number and types of layers involved, the following generally holds true. Sharp-edged slots in the jaws. 1. 2 Corning Cable Systems ribbon interconnect cables are lightweight, flame retardant cables designed for high performance transmission of digital and analog signals in process. Properly stripping the cable and preparing the fibre ends ensures a clean and secure connection, leading to optimal signal transmission and network performance.
