What Is MARSHINE Fiber Optic Longitudinal Stripper?
Fiber optic cable must be properly prepared to maintain signal integrity and allow for efficient installation, if cutting the internal fibers while removing the jacket may cause repairs and performance problems. To handle this problems, our MARSHINE Fiber Optic Cable Longitudinal Grip Cable Stripping Tool Cable Slitter are designed to perform the longitudinal cable slitting operation, safe, accurate and efficient.
So How To Use Your MARSHINE Fiber Cable Longitudinal Slitter?
First of all, you need to measure and mark the fiber cable to determine the amount of cable jacket that needs to be stripped by marking the beginning and end points clearly with marker.
Next, please adjust the blade depth accordingly, this depends on the thickness of the outer sheath. Please also noted that:
Too shallow means jacket won’t cut through swipe too home;
Go too deep may damage the internal buffer tubes;
So always make a test on a small length when working with a new type of cable.
After that, place your MARSHINE Fiber Optic Cable Longitudinal Grip Cable Stripping Tool Cable Slitter on the cable, make sure it is in the tool’s groove and hold tightly. Then line up the blade start with the start of the line and keep the cable still so it doesn’t slide. The handle design will stabilizes the cable while cutting.
Now, apply a moderate and firm pressure, and slide the tool down the cable while ensuring:
Keep your movement straight and consistent;
Don’t twist the tool;
Don’t bear down too much.
When you have finished cutting, please peel back the sheath and remove it from the internal matrix to check the buffer tubes for damage. The jacket should open easily with a correctly set cut, and should be no compression in the buffer tubes.
