Abstract
A method of preparing a preformed fiber optic circuit for later termination to at least one fiber optic connector includes providing a substrate for supporting a plurality of optical fibers, the substrate including at least one layer of flexible foil, wherein the flexible foil may be formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) according to one example and peeling a layer including at least the optical fibers from the at least one layer of flexible foil.
Claims6
A method of preparing a fiber optic circuit, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate for supporting a plurality of optical fibers, the substrate including at least one layer of flexible foil formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET);
- peeling the at least one layer of flexible foil formed from PET from the plurality of optical fibers, wherein the plurality of optical fibers separated from the flexible foil formed from PET includes at least a portion coated with a coating including silicone;
- and
- terminating one end of the optical fibers to a multi-fiber connector.
