This product is a fibre optic cable stripping tool from the manufacturer Softing IT Networks, type FO 103-T-250-J, specifically designed for stripping fibre optic cables with a core and cladding diameter of 125 µm and 900 µm. It is intended for stripping cables with a jacket diameter in the range of 2 to 3 mm. The tool is offered under the designation Miller Tri-Stripper and is used in the field of measurement technology and network infrastructure for precise and damage-free removal of the outer protective jacket and the inner buffer layer of fibre optic cables. Stripping is achieved by mechanical pulling, with the tool geometry adapted to the specified diameters to ensure clean and uniform removal of the layers.
Applications
This tool is designed for use in fibre optic installation and maintenance, particularly for preparing cables for connection to connectors or for repairing damaged cable sections. It is used in telecommunications, network installation, and industrial environments where precise stripping of fibre optic cables is required. The stripping process avoids damaging the sensitive fibre optic core, which is critical for the functionality and service life of the optical connection.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The Miller Tri-Stripper enables simultaneous stripping of three layers: the outer jacket, the inner buffer layer, and the layer beneath, specified for 125 µm and 900 µm. The tool geometry is designed to remove the layers precisely and without overlap. Stripping is performed manually, taking into account cable diameters from 2 to 3 mm. The tool is designed for use with fibre optic cables having these specific diameters and requires no additional tools or accessories.
Technology Explained Simply
Stripping is achieved through a mechanical guidance system, where the cable is placed into a specially shaped opening. The tool edges are positioned to precisely cut the outer jacket and the inner buffer layer without damaging the fibre optic core. The tool geometry is adapted to the specified diameters to ensure uniform and clean stripping. No additional force is required, as the tool is designed to work with the mechanical tension of the cable.
Compatibility and Accessories
The tool is specifically designed for fibre optic cables with a core and cladding diameter of 125 µm and 900 µm, and a jacket diameter in the range of 2 to 3 mm. It is not suitable for other cable types or diameters.
Mounting and Installation
The tool does not require mounting or installation in the conventional sense, but is operated manually. The cable is inserted into the designated opening and the tool is activated. No additional mounting or installation measures are required. The tool is applied directly to the cable, without requiring additional aids or tools.
Operational Advantages
Precise stripping enables clean and uniform cable preparation, improving the quality of subsequent connections. Avoiding damage to the fibre optic core increases the reliability and service life of the optical connection. The tool is easy to operate and requires no additional tools, increasing work speed. Stripping is performed without additional force, reducing the risk of errors or damage.
The tool is available on order basis and cannot be cancelled. It is delivered as a single unit, without additional components or documentation.
