Abstract
Tools and associated methods for facilitating feeding of optical fibers into a tube. In particular, the tools and associated methods are adapted to remove overlaps and tangles in the fibers as they are being fed into the tube. In this way, the number of fibers that can be fed into a tube of given transverse cross-sectional area can be maximized.
