OPTI-STRIP 202-174 Stripper is designed for precision stripping of the outer plastic sheathing of optical fibres. It also performs extremely well on PVC and PTFE insulated wires. The tool has two spring loaded blades, the gap between these can be very accurately adjusted to cleanly cut the sheathing/insulation with no damage to the fibre/wire. Once the adjustment has been set it can be locked to give repeatable results. In operation, once the blades have been adjusted and set, the fibre/wire is inserted, the tool is then rotated and the sheath/insulation pulled off. The waste falls through the hollow handle. Supplied with six bushes and guides to accommodate fibres/wires with an outer diameter of 0.5 to 3mm. Suitable for fibre optic cables from 15 to 1000 microns. Supplied in a plastic box complete with instructions.
The OPTI-STRIP is a precision sheath stripper designed for optical fibre cables and PVC/PTFE insulated wires. It features two spring‑loaded blades whose gap can be finely adjusted and locked for repeatable results, allowing the sheath to be removed without damaging the core.
The tool comes with six bushes and guides to handle fibres or wires with an outer diameter of 0.5 – 3 mm (15 – 1000 µm for fibre optics), and is supplied in a plastic box together with an instruction sheet.
