ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for accessing a length of a selected one or more of a plurality of optical fibers within an outer protective jacket of a cable including the plurality of optical fibers and at least one strength member extending longitudinally therein include a cable positioning fixture. The cable positioning fixture is configured to receive a portion of the cable therein and to establish a desired orientation of the portion of the cable in the fixture relative to the at least one strength member therein while a cutting member removes a scalloped segment from the outer protective jacket.
