Strip the 900μm Buffer
After that, please insert the exposed buffer into the 900μm stripping groove and close the pliers fully but gently. And then pull straight to remove the buffer layer while avoid twisting or bending the fiber during stripping.
Strip the 250μm Coating
Then place the fiber into the 250μm stripping groove and close the pliers carefully to pull and expose the bare glass fiber. Please noted to use smooth, controlled motion to avoid nicking the fiber.
Clean and Inspect the Fiber
Finally, after stripping, you need to wipe the bare fiber with alcohol wipes to check for smoothness and cleanliness, please ensure there are no scratches or coating residue, that's because clean fiber is essential for low-loss splicing and connector installation.
