Ideal MiniLite-Strip Fibre Optic Strippers

MiniLite-Strip^™ Fibre Optic stripper is a hand-held stripper designed to cut and strip select fibre optical cables. The larger strip hole is to strip the outer jacket from 3mm cables.

The inner, smaller hole is engineered and precision-ground to remove the buffer coatings, up to 900 microns, to expose the 125 and 140 micron diameter (core + cladding) fibres.

This tool is used in preparation for mechanical terminating and fusion splicing connectors to fibre cables.

Strip notches pre-set and locked, no field adjustment necessary.

Outer Jacket Removal:

• The large stripping rounded-notch at the end of the tool will strip the outer jacket from 3mm fibre optic cables.
• Position cable in large rounded-notch and squeeze handles.
• Pull jacket off end of cable.
• With some jacket insulations, slight rotation of tool will aid in jacket removal.

Buffer & Coating Removal:

The small stripping notch is designed to remove buffer and coating material from 125 micron and 140 micron fibre. For best results, strip several 1/4” strips to achieve desired strip length.

• Insert fibre into small notch to desired strip length.
• Close tool completely around fibre.
• Use slow, constant pressure to draw buffer and coating straight off end of fibre.
