Stripping Optical Fibers Utilizing the Fujikura Polyimide Coating Stripper (PCS-100)

The recently released Fujikura PCS-100 is a novel stripping tool for removing polyimide coating from optical fibers. Extensive testing on the stripping ability of this equipment has demonstrated repeatable high tensile strength values with narrow distributions, both for polyimide and acrylate-coated optical fibers. Additionally, the PCS-100 stripping process has been shown to create an evenly beveled coating edge, ideal for applications that include recoating.
