Shears for Kevlar fibres in fibre optic cables, serrated precision grind, 160 mm - Knipex 95 03 160 SB

Aramid fibres in fibre optic cables slip away under ordinary scissors and fray instead of parting cleanly. The 95 03 160 SB shears have a serrated precision grind for exactly that job and cut the fibres in one stroke, at 160 mm length and only 85 g.

Benefits

• Serrated precision grind prevents the fibres from slipping and guarantees a clean cut.
• Riveted precision joint for smooth movement and a jam-free cut of the thin fibres.
• Hard chrome-plated, ground surface that stands up to the abrasion of aramid fibres.
• Plastic coated handles, 85 g at 160 mm length for long sessions at the splicing station.
• Clearly defined purpose, only for Kevlar fibres in fibre optic cables, not for other materials.

Areas of use

Fibre optic networks and splicing work, assembly of fibre optic cables, telecommunications and data centre technology. The manufacturer states explicitly that the shears are intended for Kevlar fibres only and must not be used on other materials.

Standards and conformity

The manufacturer does not state a tool standard for these shears. According to the manufacturer they contain no substances of very high concern under REACH. The RoHS directive does not apply.
