ABSTRACT:
A method for accessing individual coated optical fibers in an optical fiber ribbon includes securing an adhesive tape to a substrate surface. The adhesive tape has a backing which faces away from the substrate surface to which it is secured. A glue is placed on the tape backing. The optical fiber ribbon is placed over the glue. After the glue is set, the optical fiber ribbon is pulled to burst the optical fiber ribbon common coating and delaminate one surface of the optical common coating. The process may be repeated to delaminate the other surface of the common coating.
