    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a method for processing an optical fiber. The coating is stripped from the cladding of the optical fiber using a stripping process. Direct heat is applied to the first side of the optical fiber and is not applied to the second side of the optical fiber. Then, the optical fiber is inserted into a fiber alignment structure with the second side of the optical fiber engaging a fiber alignment feature of the alignment structure. The first side of the optical fiber does not engage the fiber alignment feature.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable breakout assembly that includes a transition body made from a moldable material having an inlet end and an opposite outlet end. The moldable transition body includes a centering element positioned therein and an internal splice positioned within the centering element to splice a plurality of breakout fibers to at least one cable. The centering element is configured to center the splice, the at least one cable and the plurality of breakout fibers prior to molding the transition body. The transition body is adapted to protect the splice and fibers such that no other external protection is needed.

    Abstract: Certain splice arrangements include first and second laminate structures bonded around a splice location at which two or more optical fibers are spliced (e.g., fusion spliced) together. The first and second laminate structures each include a flexible polymeric sheet and a heat activated adhesive layer carried by the flexible polymeric sheet. Other splice arrangements include a protective barrier disposed about an optical splice. The protective barrier includes first and second protective layers bonded around the optical splice. Each protective layer include a film carrying an adhesive. The protective barrier may be sufficiently flexible to not restrict flexing the optical fibers at the splice location. Example splice arrangements have thicknesses of less than or equal to 1000 microns, or 900 microns, or 800 microns, or 700 microns, or 600 microns or 500 microns.

    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: An apparatus for ribbonizing a plurality of optical fibers into a single ribbon cable for use with a multi-fiber connector having a pitch diameter. The apparatus includes a plurality of spacers for organizing the plurality of optical fibers. The plurality of spacers have a width. The apparatus also includes a plurality of dividers between the plurality of spacers to establish a gap between adjacent receivers. The plurality of dividers also have a width. The apparatus also include a channel for receiving the plurality of optical fiber cables from within the plurality of spacers and applying a laminate thereon. The sum of the width of one of the plurality of spacers and one of the plurality of dividers is greater than the pitch diameter of the multi-fiber connector.
