Fiber-Optic Tool Kits
Cut and strip fiber-optic cable.
2-piece kits include a wire cutter with high-carbon stainless steel blades that are strong enough to cut through optic fibers, wire insulation, and cable ties. They also include a wire stripper that has three openings for stripping different thicknesses of fiber-optic cable jackets down to the glass fiber.
11-piece kits include a variety of tools to support a wide range of applications. Along with a standard wire cutter and wire stripper, there are three additional cable strippers and a ringer to handle an array of fiber-optic cable jacket shapes, sizes, and buffer coatings. To make it easy to access your cable, there are pliers, a flashlight, and a screwdriver. Use the wipes to clean optical surfaces, bare fibers, and connector ends.
