Critical Areas in the Hand Tool Prep STEP
- Damage Avoidance: Small scratches or dents on the fiber surface caused by improper handling can be the root cause of fiber cracks.
- Quality & Stability: Worn-out tools can cause cracking over time. Long-term stability is determined by the skills of an operator as well as the quality of their tools.
- Tool Selection: Any damage to the fiber during stripping, such as nicks caused by contact with the stripping tool blades, can significantly increase chances of fiber breaking within the connector.
