Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Umhüllungen von optischen Fasern

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for removing protective coating material from a fiber optic cable including one or more optical fibers. A stream of hot inert gas is directed onto the cable to soften the protective coating material and blow it from the cable. The stream can be moved relative to the cable until the desired length of coating material has been removed.
