ABSTRACT:
An assembly includes a collet including radially convergible jaws for receipt of an optical fiber threaded through the collet and outwardly from the rear opening of a housing containing the collet. The assembly comprises a container for a fluid for softening the plastic coating of a fiber extending through the assembly. When the plastic coating has softened, a barrel is screwed inwardly of the housing and against a surface of the collet for causing convergence of, and grasping of the plastic coating by, the collet jaws. The assembly is then moved axially of the fiber for stripping the softened plastic coating from a front end of the fiber.
