QUESTION: What are the typical steps for terminating a fiber?
ANSWER:
A typical fiber is “terminated” through the following steps:
-
Fiber is stripped and cleaned.
-
Epoxy is prepared and injected into a ferrule assembly (ferrule pressed into a ferrule-holder)
Ferrule (loaded with epoxy and fiber) is loaded into a Curing Oven for a period of time to cure the epoxy.
