In this video, I demonstrate how I partially open a 144-count OSP fiber optic cable by removing only the outer jacket and metallic armor, without accessing the buffer tubes or fibers. However, if you're new to the world of fiber optics, you might wonder what it means to terminate fiber optic cables and why it's important. High-speed fiber optic networks form the backbone of modern communications systems. [pdf]
