It provides clean, controlled cuts to expose the inner buffer and fibers without damaging them, supporting accurate preparation for termination, splicing, and testing. The tool’s ergonomic shape improves grip and control during repeated use, making it suitable for field and workshop environments.

Advantages

This fiber optic jacket stripper offers consistent stripping lengths across the specified 8–28 mm range and reduces the risk of nicks or scratches on the fiber buffer. The ergonomic handle design minimizes hand fatigue during extended tasks, while the precision blades ensure repeatable performance. Constructed for routine installations and maintenance, the tool balances durability with ease of use.

Suitable for

• Removing outer jackets from fiber optic cables within the 8–28 mm stripping range
• Preparation of cables for splicing and connector termination
• Field service, installation, and maintenance of fiber optic networks

Key specifications

• Stripping capacity: 8–28 mm
• Type: jacket/fiber optic jacket stripper
• Operation: manual handheld tool for precise jacket removal
• Design: ergonomic handle for improved grip and control
• Intended use: preparation of fiber optic cables for termination and splicing

How to use

Select the appropriate stripping width within the 8–28 mm range, place the cable jacket into the stripper jaws at the desired position, and squeeze the handles firmly to cut through the jacket. Rotate or withdraw the tool as required to remove the jacket cleanly, exposing the buffer or fiber for further preparation. Inspect the exposed fiber for any damage before proceeding to termination or splicing.

Recommendations

Use gentle, controlled pressure when cutting to avoid nicking the fiber buffer. Keep blades clean and replace them if wear affects stripping quality. Store the tool in a dry environment and inspect before use to ensure consistent performance.
