What are the commonly used fiber optic tools?

January 21 , 2021

The gradual increase in the construction and maintenance of optical cables in the optical communication industry has prompted an increase in the demand for various optical fiber tools. Common optical fiber tools on the market include optical fiber strippers, optical cable strippers, and optical cable cutting shears. The purpose of these tools is also different, are you really familiar with them? Know when to use what kind of fiber optic tools?


1. Optical fiber stripper
Optical fiber stripper is an optical fiber tool used to strip tightly packaged fibers. It is generally used to strip tightly packaged fibers when splicing optical fibers.
There are three common fiber strippers on the market today:
The first type is FTTH cable stripper;
The second type is three-hole fiber stripper;
The third type is CFS-2 fiber stripper;

The FTTH cable stripper, as the name suggests, is a special fiber stripper for FTTH fiber to the home. It is small in size, light in weight, easy to operate, flat cut, and convenient to carry; the three-hole fiber stripper uses a three-hole segmented stripping Design, can be used without adjustment, and can quickly and accurately strip 2-3mm, 900μm to 250μm and 250μm to 125μm fiber without damaging the fiber; CFS-2 fiber stripper is used to strip 125μm fiber 250μm coating layer, while the second hole can peel off the outer protective layer of the pigtail.


2. Optical cable cutting shears
The optical cable cutter is a kind of optical fiber tool used to cut the aramid fiber in the optical cable. Its blade is made of high-carbon steel material, which is sharp and tough. It can easily cut the aramid fiber in the optical cable. It is generally used in optical cable fusion work. The fiber stripper or fiber stripper is used together, so how to use the fiber optic cable cutter to cut the aramid yarn? Just three steps:

First, use the fiber stripper to peel off the outer sheath of the optical fiber; then remove the stripped outer sheath of the optical fiber; finally, use the cable cutter to cut the exposed aramid yarn.


3. Optical cable stripper
The optical cable stripper is an optical fiber tool that can cut longitudinally and circumferentially the insulation layer of a round cable with a diameter greater than or equal to 25mm. Because the optical cable stripper can completely strip various insulation layers (such as cable outer sheath, optical cable loose tube, etc.), and The cutting depth can be adjusted, and the cutting depth is up to 5mm. Generally, it can be used for cutting the insulation layer of communication cables, low voltage cables (PVC insulation layer), medium voltage cables (PVC insulation layer) or optical cables and other circular optical cables. The specific cutting method is as follows:

The operator holds the cable with one hand, while pressing the optical cable stripper with his thumb, and holds the handle of the optical cable stripper with the other hand, and cuts in any direction with the thumb as the guide.


4. the choice of fiber optic tools
Based on the above detailed introduction of the three optical fiber tools: optical fiber stripper, optical cable cutter, and optical cable stripper, I believe you should know when to use which optical fiber tool to operate:
1. When optical fiber fusion splicing, select optical fiber stripper to strip the tightly-packed optical fiber
2. When optical fiber fusion splicing, choose optical cable cutter to cut off the aramid filament in the optical cable;
3. When outdoor optical cable cutting and cable cutting, choose an optical cable stripper to strip the insulation layer such as the center loose tube and PE/PVC outer sheath.
The network cable tool is an indispensable tool for network management such as finding network fault points and solving network cable faults. What hardware tools do network administrators generally need to prepare by themselves? Next, this article will mainly introduce common tools for network cable management: wire stripper, wire cutter, network cable tester, cable tester/checker and underground cable detector.
