fiber stripping tool
A fiber stripping tool is an essential precision instrument designed specifically for the preparation and maintenance of fiber optic cables. This specialized tool efficiently removes the protective coating and cladding layers from optical fibers without damaging the delicate glass core. Modern fiber stripping tools incorporate precision-engineered blades made from hardened steel or ceramic materials, ensuring clean and consistent stripping results every time. The tool features precisely calibrated stripping holes that accommodate various fiber sizes, typically ranging from 250 microns down to 125 microns, making it versatile for different fiber types. Advanced models include ergonomic handles with non-slip grips, allowing technicians to maintain precise control during the stripping process. The tool's blade geometry is specifically designed to prevent scoring or nicking of the glass fiber while effectively removing the outer layers. Many professional-grade fiber stripping tools also feature built-in measurement guides and automatic spring mechanisms that ensure consistent pressure application during the stripping process. These tools are indispensable in telecommunications installations, data center operations, and fiber optic network maintenance, where precise fiber preparation is crucial for achieving optimal signal transmission and network performance.
