Portable Handheld Fiber Optic Stripper

A fiber optic stripper is a specialized tool used for stripping the protective coating from the end of an optical fiber cable, allowing the fiber to be spliced or connected to other optical equipment. The stripper typically consists of a pair of jaws that can be adjusted to the diameter of the fiber, and a cutting mechanism that removes the outer protective coating without damaging the underlying fiber. Some strippers may also have additional features such as a cleaving mechanism that allows the fiber to be easily cut to a specific length. Fiber optic strippers are commonly used by telecommunications technicians, fiber optic installers, and other professionals who work with optical fibers. Proper use of the stripper is important to ensure that the fiber is not damaged during the stripping process, as even minor damage can degrade the quality of the signal. In addition to stripping the outer coating of the fiber, some fiber optic strippers may also be used to strip other types of insulation or jacketing from the cable, such as Kevlar or PVC. Overall, a fiber optic stripper is an essential tool for anyone who works with optical fibers. Proper use and maintenance of the tool is important to ensure that the fiber is stripped safely and accurately, and to extend the life of the tool.
