Fibre Optic Cable Stripper (Centre Feed) – Ripley Miller FO-CF
Fibre Optic Cable Stripping Tool
Ripley miller FO-CF
FO-CF is a fibre optic cable stripper manufactured by Ripley Miller with a centre feed design allowing for a longitudinal approach when stripping fibre cable. The fibre cable is fully supported during the stripping process.
This compact, lightweight and ergonomic too provides precise, longitudinal fibre stripping from the 900 micron buffer coating down to the 125 micron bare fibre. Convenient, side-mounted stripper blades remove the 1.6 to 3 mm jackets and all cutting surfaces are precision-formed, hardened, tempered and ground to ensure fibre is stripped accurately without damage.
The Miller FO-CF cable stripping tool has a measurement scale showing inches and mm built into the tool jaw and a removable cleaning brush which is conveniently attached to the stripper for periodic cleaning of stripping jaws.
