ABSTRACT:
A method of removing matrix from a fiber optic cable includes the steps of providing a foil layer, placing a sheet of wiping material atop the foil layer, positioning a portion of fiber optic cable coated with a matrix on the sheet of wiping material, folding the foil layer and sheet of wiping material together, spraying solvent into the folded wiping material, and confining the fiber optic cable inside the folded sheet of wiping material within the folded foil layer until the matrix dissolves. A durable folder may be used with the method to provide a portable work station and secure both the sheets of wiping material and the foil layer. A portable containing materials necessary for practicing the method of the present invention also is disclosed.
