LWL-zbh. stripping tool, stripping, 3 hole (125/250/900 µm, 1.6–3 mm), Synergy 21, S215661 content_copy

This product is a stripping plier from the brand Synergy 21, manufacturer's number S215661, specifically designed for stripping optical fibre cables. It is used for the precise removal of protective layers from LWL cables, particularly during the preparation of singlemode fibres with a core diameter of 9/125 µm. The plier enables targeted stripping of the primary and secondary layers as well as the outer jacket, with the tool geometry adapted to common cable diameters of 125 µm, 250 µm, and 900 µm, as well as outer jacket thicknesses between 2 and 3 mm. The construction is designed for use in optical fibre installation and maintenance, particularly in FTTH applications.

Stripping plier is the central tool described here. It is equipped with a return spring that allows for quick and secure retraction of the tool after stripping. Additionally, it features a locking mechanism, also referred to as a latch, which fixes the plier in the open position. This facilitates handling, especially during repeated stripping operations, as the tool does not need to be manually held open continuously. The precision of the stripping is crucial to maintain the integrity of the optical fibre and to ensure a clean, crack-free surface for subsequent fibre processing.

LWL cables are the primary application for this stripping plier. The tool geometry is adapted to typical layer thicknesses of LWL cables: the primary layer (250 µm over 125 µm), the secondary layer (900 µm over 250 µm), and the outer jacket (2–3 mm). These dimensions correspond to common standards in optical fibre installation, particularly for singlemode fibres used in telecommunications and FTTH connections. The plier is therefore suitable for preparing cables used in networks with high bandwidth requirements.

The tool function focuses on mechanical precision during stripping, not on the number of connected ports or fibres in the system. Thus, the plier is universally applicable as long as cable diameters fall within the specified tolerances.

Technology explained clearly: The stripping plier operates by mechanically cutting off protective layers. The return spring ensures the plier automatically returns to its initial position after stripping, increasing work speed. The locking mechanism allows the plier to be held open without constant manual pressure. This is particularly advantageous during longer work processes or when processing multiple cable sections. The precision of the stripping is essential to avoid damaging the fibre and to ensure a clean surface for subsequent fibre processing, such as polishing or inserting into connectors.

Compatibility and accessories: The plier is compatible with LWL FTTH cables, particularly singlemode fibres (SM 9/125 µm). Suitable accessories available in the range include field-terminable connectors in LC(APC) and SC(APC) versions for 0.9 mm SM 9/125 µm cables. These connectors are suitable for final processing of stripped fibres and enable secure, long-lasting connections. Additionally, alcohol-moistened LWL cleaning wipes are available for cleaning the fibre end faces after processing, ensuring optimal signal transmission.

Mounting and installation: The stripping plier is operated manually. The cable is inserted into the corresponding openings, and the plier is closed to cut the layer. The tool geometry is designed to ensure precise stripping without damaging the fibre itself. The tool is typically used before inserting the fibre into connectors or before polishing. It is designed for use in optical fibre installation and maintenance, particularly in telecommunications and FTTH connections.

Operational advantages: The stripping plier offers high precision during stripping, improving the quality of fibre processing. The return spring and locking mechanism increase efficiency and ease of handling. The tool construction is robust and designed for professional use. The stripping plier is therefore a reliable tool for professionals working with LWL cables who require clean, crack-free stripping.
