General
Buffer thickness	125 µm

The item is a Miller Dual Stripper, a tool for precise removal of the protective layer (buffer) from fiber optic cables. It is offered by Softing IT Networks and is specifically designed for processing fiber optic cables with two different buffer thicknesses: 125 µm and 900 µm. The tool is used in the field of network infrastructure and measurement technology, particularly during the installation and maintenance of fiber optic systems, where clean and accurate removal of the outer protective layer is required to ensure proper connection or splicing.

Functions and equipment in detail
The Miller Dual Stripper enables simultaneous processing of two different buffer thicknesses, making it suitable for various types of fiber optic cables. The 125-µm layer is typical for single-mode fibers, while the 900-µm layer is commonly found in multimode fibers or cables with additional protective layers. The tool is designed to allow clean, damage-free removal of the protective layer without damaging the underlying fiber optic strand. This is crucial for the quality of the optical connection and the longevity of the installation.

Technology explained simply
A stripper is a mechanical tool that removes the outer layer of a cable using precise cutting elements. The Miller Dual Stripper features two preset cutting positions, each optimized for the specified buffer thicknesses. Use involves manually pressing the tool against the cable, where the cutting edge severs the protective layer. The design ensures uniform and controlled removal, which is especially important in fiber optic processing, as fiber damage can lead to signal loss or breaks.

Compatibility and accessories
The tool is designed for fiber optic cables with buffer layers of 125 µm and 900 µm. It is used in the context of network installations and fiber optic infrastructures, particularly when preparing cables for connection to connectors, splices, or other optical components.

Mounting and installation
Use is manual. The cable is inserted into the tool, with the appropriate cutting position selected for the respective buffer thickness. By gently rotating or pressing, the protective layer is severed. Precise handling requires practice to achieve a clean cut edge. It is not an automated processing tool, but a hand-held device for precise work.

Advantages in operation
Using the Miller Dual Stripper allows efficient processing of various cable types with a single tool. The precise cutting technique reduces the risk of fiber damage and ensures high connection quality. Combining both buffer thicknesses in one device reduces tool inventory and speeds up workflow during fiber optic system installations.
