General
Fibre diameter	125 µm

The Fasercoatingstripper 125µm from Softing IT Networks is a specialised tool for the precise removal of the protective coating (coating) from optical fibres with a diameter of 125 µm. The device is used in the field of fibre optic installation and maintenance, particularly for preparing fibres for final processing, such as polishing or inserting into fibre connectors. It is designed for use in professional environments where clean and controlled removal of the coating is required to ensure the integrity of the fibre.

Applications
This tool is primarily used in the field of fibre optic network infrastructure, where optical fibres are prepared before connection or installation into cables or connectors. Removing the coating is a necessary step to expose the fibre end face, which is then polished or inserted into a fibre connector. It is suitable for use in the installation of FTTH networks (Fibre to the Home), data centres, industrial networks, as well as for maintenance work on existing fibre optic lines.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The Fasercoatingstripper is designed for fibres with a core diameter of 125 µm, which corresponds to the standard diameter for single-mode and multimode fibres. The tool enables precise and controlled removal of the coating, without damaging the fibre itself. The construction is designed to achieve a uniform length of the exposed fibre section, which is necessary for a secure and reliable connection. Operation is manual, with the exact application technique specified by the respective manufacturer.

Technology Explained Simply
The stripper works mechanically by removing the surrounding coating of the fibre using a sharp edge or blade. The 125-µm setting ensures that the tool is only suitable for fibres with this specific diameter, guaranteeing high precision. The fibre is placed in a guide rail or holder, and through a controlled movement, the coating is removed. The tool design ensures that the fibre is not damaged, as the blade only removes the coating and does not penetrate the glass fibre itself.

the fibre is not damaged, as the blade only removes the coating and does not penetrate the glass fibre itself.

Compatibility and Accessories
The tool is specifically designed for fibres with a diameter of 125 µm and is used in conjunction with other fibre optic processing tools, such as fibre polishers or fibre connectors. It is not an accessory or replacement part for other devices, but a standalone tool for the specific task of coating removal. Use is part of a standard workflow, typically consisting of stripping, polishing, and inserting into a fibre connector.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting or installation of the stripper is not required, as it is a hand-held tool. It is held directly in the hand and applied to the fibre. Operation requires a steady hand and adherence to the specified technique to ensure clean removal of the coating. No additional mounting or installation work is necessary.

Advantages in Operation
Using the Fasercoatingstripper 125µm enables clean and precise preparation of the fibre, improving the quality of the subsequent connection. A correctly stripped fibre reduces the likelihood of reflections, signal losses, or breaks. The tool design ensures high reproducibility of results, which is advantageous in professional applications. Handling is simple and requires no additional tools.
