You will learn how to use Corning’s ribbon fiber splitting tool to divide fiber optic ribbons. Now let’s go! :: What the RST-000 Can Do Split a ribbon fiber up to a length of 0.5 meter (20 inches) per cleaning For longer lengths, just clean the splitting tool and repeat the process. Both mid-span and end-of-ribbon applications. Split ribbon with 4 to 36 fibers. As indicated by the sum of the stacked numbers on the tool (2+2 = 4 fibers, 12+24 = 36 fibers) The cleaning process’s purpose is to remove ribbon matrix material residues from the tool’s channels after

Automatic fiber connector polishing machines are required for high volume, high quality and consistent fiber connector polishing for fiber cable assembly houses. (fiber patch cable manufacturers). This buying guide will direct you to the perfect machine for your specific requirement. :: The 7 Guidelines for Choosing a Fiber Connector Polishing Machine In evaluating polishing machines, look for a machine that minimizes any variation in the polishing process. Variations lead to variations in the finish and inconsistent results. Current polishing machines are designed to eliminate variations in polishing and to achieve high-quality, consistent work. You should do your homework before making

There are many fiber identifier products on the market by different manufacturers such as Fitel, Wilcom, Fluke Networks, etc. But Fitel’s ID-H/R LightFinder is one of the best fiber identifiers. The ID-H/R is a lightweight, hand-held tool which identifies optical fibers by detecting the optical signals passing through the fiber utilizing local macro-bending detection technology. This product comes with two components: The main unit PN AI02H. Battery, strap, and instruction manual are included. The carrying case PN AI02H-001. The case is easily to belt or tool pouch. :: How Does a Fiber Identifier Work? Simply put, the fiber identifier

:: What is a fiber optic cleaver? A fiber optic cleaver is a piece of tool or equipment to make an almost perfect fiber end face cut. Just like using a diamond scribe tool when cutting glass, a fiber cleaver’s cutting wheel (blade) makes a very tiny cut on the fiber first, then the fiber is pressed against the little cut to force it to break at 90° angle and expose a mirror like fiber end face. :: Why do we need to cleave optical fibers? Optical fiber needs to be cleaved for fusion splicing. Optical fiber fusion splicing nearly
