Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for providing 200 micron, or smaller, coated optical fibers with a 250 micrometer pitch diameter in preparation for insertion into a Multi-fiber Push On connector (MPO) and/or splicing apparatus. The apparatus can sort, arrange, and clamp optical fibers into a proper sequence to allow the coated optical fibers to be aligned for processing, for example, connectorization and/or splicing. The apparatus includes a separator element that defines grooves for receiving and sequencing coated optical fibers with respect to each other to set a uniform pitch diameter.

Abstract: A method of separating a ribbon of optical fibers held together by bonding material. The method includes the steps of routing a thread around each of the optical fibers and moving the thread in a first direction to bread the bonding material between the optical fibers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a ferrule boot that provides a pitch conversion from fiber ribbon having a first pitch (e.g., about 200 microns) to a multi-fiber ferrule having fiber openings arranged at a second pitch larger than the first pitch (e.g., about 250 microns). The ferrule boot may also function as a tool for inserting pitch converted optical fibers into the multi-fiber ferrule.
