Abstract: A fixture for retaining an optical connector holder and optical fibers for splicing in an optical fiber stripping machine is disclosed. The fixture enables for two optical fibers of the connector to be appropriately aligned such that they can be simultaneously stripped in a standard optical fiber stripping machine. In one example, the fixture includes a main body extending between a first end and a second, a cavity defined within the main body the cavity, the cavity being for receiving an optical cable holder of an optical fiber connector, a first fiber retention structure for holding the optical fibers extending from the connector holder, and a second fiber retention structure for holding the optical fibers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an improved stripping process that allows for double stripping in a fiber optic cable processing apparatus. The fiber optic cable processing apparatus has a double stripping fixture that includes a first set of blades configured for stripping a buffer layer off a fiber optic cable and a second set of blades for simultaneously stripping a buffer layer and a coating layer off the fiber optic cable. The double stripping fixture can also include spacers that are configured to set a gap between the first and second sets of blades.

Abstract: A fabrication carrier for fiber optic connectors defines a body configured to removably hold a plurality of fiber optic ferrules. The body allows each of the fiber optic ferrules to be movable along its axis under a bias when the ferrules are mounted to the body. The body can be coupled to a polishing plate for use with a ferrule polishing apparatus in a polishing step. Coupling of the body to the polishing plate allows each of the ferrules to at least partially protrude past a bottom face of the polishing plate for contact with the polishing apparatus. The body of the fabrication carrier is configured as a fixture that can be used in at least one additional fabrication step aside from the polishing step when not mounted to the polishing plate.
