Stripping tool for fibre optic cables 0.125 mm with length stop 5 to 45 mm, 110 mm - Knipex 12 85 110 SB

When splicing and terminating optical fibres the primary coating has to come off completely without scoring the fibre. The 12 85 110 SB stripping tool is built for fibres of 0.125 mm diameter and works with a 0.16 mm blade that only engages the coating.

Benefits

• Removes the primary coating from fibre optic cables of 0.125 mm diameter, the common fibre size in optical networks.
• The 0.16 mm blade sits only 0.035 mm above the fibre, so the coating comes away without loading the light guide.
• A 0.35 mm feed hole keeps the fibre straight in the cutting zone, the tool does not need to be realigned while pulling.
• Length stop adjustable from 5 to 45 mm, which keeps the exposed length identical in repetitive work.
• At 110 mm long and 83 g it fits into any splicing case and stays easy to handle on a ladder.
• Supplied on a self-service card, ready for the retail rack without repacking.

Areas of use

Fibre installation in buildings and outside plant, splicing work in distribution boxes and closures, assembly of pigtails and patch cords, plus measurement and service work on existing optical links. The fixed length stop pays off wherever many fibres are prepared to the same dimension one after another.
