Summary: | In one embodiment, a method of preparing a round fiber optic cable includes applying a cable orientation guide to a portion of the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable includes a jacket, a first strength member, a second strength member, and an optical fiber. The strength members and the optical fiber are disposed within the jacket along a strength axis. Applying the cable orientation guide rotates the fiber optic cable such that the strength axis is positioned along a preferential axis. The method further includes forming a punched area in the jacket. The method also include removing a portion of the jacket forward of the punched area to provide a flat end face defined by the punched area for attaching the cable to a retention body of a fiber optic connector. |
