ribbon fiber stripper
A ribbon fiber stripper is a specialized tool designed for precise and efficient removal of coating from ribbon fiber optic cables. This essential device enables technicians to prepare multiple fibers simultaneously, significantly reducing installation and maintenance time. The tool features precision-engineered blades that cleanly strip the protective coating without damaging the glass core, ensuring optimal signal transmission. Modern ribbon fiber strippers incorporate ergonomic handles for comfortable operation and adjustable blade depths to accommodate various fiber sizes. The tool's unique design allows for consistent stripping of 4, 8, or 12 fiber ribbons in a single operation, maintaining precise alignment and spacing between fibers. Advanced models include built-in length gauges and thermal coating removal mechanisms for enhanced precision. These strippers are specifically calibrated to work with standard 250-micron and 900-micron buffer coatings, making them versatile for different fiber optic cable types. The tool's precision-ground blades ensure clean, straight cuts and prevent fiber scratching or breaking during the stripping process. For telecommunications professionals and fiber optic technicians, the ribbon fiber stripper represents an indispensable tool that combines efficiency with reliability in fiber optic cable preparation.
