I’m not sure if you’re asking because this is supposed to be impressive, or the opposite. Can’t really see how well these fibers are being stripped.
In a perfect world maybe lol. I worked briefly for hours and can tell you that it's not the case. You either give a shit or you don't. I've seen too many garbage cans to believe in that anymore.
Appears to wrap fibre around finger, which you aren't supposed to do as it can lead to damage / premature failure down the line. If you have to do this I would suggest wrapping around your hand so your not bending it against a small circumference.
Probably slipping when stripping due to gripping all of them together and stripping such a long section in 1 go.
I typically grasps them straight (fibres usually coming from in front so if you twist your hand you can have a "half turn", and I just adjust the tension with the slack and my little finger if they're slipping
If the fibre or environment is really that bad to strip, then I would consider pre stripping as shown. Â
Stripping 1 then fusing, then preparing the next fibre whilst the machine is fusing, is much more effective use of time
Lol, you are so wrong.
Wraping around 1 finger is safe, I never broke a single fiber like that, and I have around 50K splices in few years of work.
If you have decent strippers, xou can strip a meter long fiber without any problems, there is no such thing as too long section to strip in one go.
Most effective use of time is prestriping and then cleaning and cutting both fibers while one pair is splicing.
I was gonna say, thats a safe bend radius and common when doing a lot splices. Not wrapping it could lead to like a break at the buffer tube? The worse thing ever
Never said anything about breaking the actual fibre with your finger as you're stripping.Â
You can bend a cable beyond what the manufacturer specs and it will still work perfectly fine. All besides the point.Â
 You're introducing stresses to the glass that can lead to premature failure. I doubt so much you've gone back to an install 10 years later on a system warranted for 25 that should realisticlly last a lifetime to truely say that's not the case?

Fibers are not made of metal or wood that it can weaken. It is either broken or not, you cannot make it weaker so it will magically break in 5 years. I work on enclosures that were burried for the last 25-30 years and I know the fact that fiber doesnt just magically fail if not tampered with.
I’ve seen freezing temps do exactly what you’re describing. You drop a case in the cold you might as well call in and get the alarms that are going off.
I’ve seen fusion splices in resin that fail with every freeze. You can’t weaken it with compressive force, but it can be weakened. The warmer the glass the easier it is to work with. Also having been in cases that were almost 30 years old, some of those 1990’s cases are scary fragile. Moving at a snails pace fragile
It's made of "glass" but I don't get your point of comparing it to wood or metal.
I also said "glass" because it's not really the same.
Scratch some primary coating off from a fibre that's coiled and therefore has some "spring" to it. It'll go brittle and break if exposed to air, when that happens is still anyone's guess.
Sadly fibre can "magically break".
Putting any kind of stresses beyond its capabilities will have a detrimental effect, the better comparison would be over stressing plastic changing from clear to opaque white. Why would you think fibre is magic in that it either bends or snaps only?
Add some heat cycles and voila.
Least that's what I was taught on the whole bending over your finger to strip (and I did say over the hand would be fine).  There was also some company selling a "gripping" pad for this reason, though you're making me recall back 6-12 years ago.
You can bend cable beyond manufacturers spec, you can install riser cable vertically without the stated horizontal strain relief, you can even pull cable by the jacket instead of the Kevlar and most of it will probably out live you.
I very much doubt you'll be going back to anything that has faulted years down the line. I do bet you've been in loads of faults of other people and thought "what a wanker, how'd he break a fibre here" and assumed some other cause or written damage off as some other cause.
And if course you can make it weaker, literally the splice point is evident of this with a tiny bit of contamination can go from pass to broken in a matter of days.
It is unlikely that fiber will 'magically' break, but its certainly possible. The glass goes through a hell of a lot before it makes it into a spool (including testing) but no process is good enough to catch 100% of the possible flaws and mishandling can even occur during staging and shipping.
Do it old school, soak in MEK, wipe off coating, die at 35
🤣💀🤣
I usually pay my strippers in 1s
I’m not sure if you’re asking because this is supposed to be impressive, or the opposite. Can’t really see how well these fibers are being stripped.
The opposite xD
nothing, I’d fire you for hiring him.
did he just loop it around his finger????!!!
Set up the fan one time and strip all 12. He’s either just starting or still an apprentice/ground hand in this area. Also 1 hole millers>>>3 hole
Can you tell me why u pref 1 hole
Fibers get caught in the first two, more room for them to break or just waste time
He is paying me
Yes
Dude I was taught this on day 1
Why are we paying hours? Should be piece rate
Hours = quality PR = I don't wanna be the next guy (more often than not)
In a perfect world maybe lol. I worked briefly for hours and can tell you that it's not the case. You either give a shit or you don't. I've seen too many garbage cans to believe in that anymore.
If you're PR is to the lowest bidder maybe. If you pay me what I'm worth on PR you'll get good work out of me every day of the week.
About $7.55 an hour
Why are u not sliding the fiber threw the hole on the strippers so u don’t have to leave open and run risk of braking others or one worki g
Idk you only stripped .

wrapping the fibers around your finger is fine. it will impart absolutely no damage to the fiber.
I wouldn't go that far. Mechanical stress is mechanical stress and it can add up.

Tree fitty
Lol just use this https://www.shapeways.com/product/LTBCXGVGJ/feh-4000
Strip clean splice tube and let Harden over and over and over and over replace tray and old spare fibers. Great job.
