Removing cable sheath
1: Separate the steel wire from the
cable using nippers.
2: Cut the steel wire to a desired
length.
4: Make a slit along the groove of the
cable sheath using nippers.
3: Insert a protection sleeve over
the cable.
5: Split the cable sheath to expose
30~40mm of optical fiber. Cut off
the split cable sheath.
6: The cable sheath is removed.
Repeat step 1 to 5 for the other

sheath to the same length.
Take care not to damage the optical fiber when cutting the cable
sheath.
Clean the cable sheath thoroughly to remove cable gel or other stains.
