Abstract:
A processing system to connectorize optical cables includes processing stations on a table arrangement; and a track arrangement. The processing stations include: a strip-clean-cleave station that creates prepared ends of cable fibers and stub fibers; a splice station that fusion splices the prepared ends of cable and stub fibers; an overmold station that injection molds hubs around the splices; a UV cure station and a heat cure station for the injection molding; and a connector assembly station at which an optical connector is assembled at an end of each optical cable.
