Abstract
Disclosed is a method accessing one or more optical fibers in a telecommunication cable in a way that considerably reduces the risk of damaging the optical fibers. To avoid inadvertent damage caused by a cutting tool, the method includes moving optical fibers and/or micromodules away from the area on the cable that is to be cut.
