4. First use the stripper to remove the 9 mm plastic coating, leaving the fiber
only with a cladding of 250 µm. Prepare the stripper again in order to remove
the plastic layer of 250 µm and then leave the optical fiber "naked" (125 µm in
diameter and about 4 cm in length). To avoid damaging this glass fiber is
better to make a first pass loosely with your stripper. After that make a second
pass tighter to remove plastic remains.
5. Take a wipe forming a "V" with your fingers and pass the naked part of the
fiber through the middle of the folded wipe. Close the "V" to remove properly
the waste that may remain after stripping the fiber. Perform this operation at
least five times. Keep in mind that only the last few millimetres of fiber optics
will be involved during the splice process.
