fiberoptic stripper
A fiberoptic stripper is an essential precision tool designed specifically for the preparation and maintenance of fiber optic cables. This specialized instrument efficiently removes the protective coating and buffer layers from optical fibers without damaging the delicate glass core, ensuring optimal signal transmission. The tool features precisely engineered stripping holes calibrated to different fiber sizes, typically ranging from 250 to 900 microns, allowing for accurate and clean stripping of various fiber types. Modern fiberoptic strippers incorporate ergonomic handles with cushioned grips for comfortable extended use and enhanced control during delicate operations. The tool's cutting mechanism is crafted from high-grade hardened steel, often with special coatings to prevent wear and maintain sharp edges over extended periods of use. These strippers are equipped with precise alignment guides and depth controls to prevent accidental scoring or nicking of the glass fiber, which could lead to transmission losses or complete signal failure. The tool's versatility extends to handling both single and multiple fiber cables, making it indispensable in telecommunications installations, data center operations, and fiber optic network maintenance.
