Fibre Strippers
Fibre Strippers are hand tools used to remove the coating, buffer and outer jacket from optical fibre before splicing or termination, with tri-hole blades sized for 250um, 900um and 2mm fibre.
Fibre Strippers are hand tools used to strip the coating, buffer tube or outer jacket from optical fibre so it can be cleaved, spliced or terminated cleanly.
Choosing a fibre stripper
A tri-hole stripper covers the common fibre sizes found on an installation in one tool, cutting 250um coated fibre, 900um buffered fibre and 2mm cable jacket without swapping blades.
- Hole sizes: 250um, 900um and 2mm
- Use: removing coating, buffer and jacket layers before splicing or termination
Fibre strippers are typically used alongside Fibre Cleaning products before connection and Fusion Splicers for joining fibres, all part of the fibre tools and consumables range.
Fibre Strippers FAQs
What sizes does a tri-hole fibre stripper handle?
A tri-hole stripper is built with three hole sizes, typically 250um, 900um and 2mm, covering the coated fibre, buffered fibre and outer cable jacket in one tool.
When would I use a fibre stripper?
Use it before splicing or terminating fibre, to remove the coating, buffer tube or jacket cleanly so the bare fibre can be cleaved and connected without damage.
What else do I need alongside a fibre stripper?
Most installers pair a stripper with Fibre Cleaning products and, for spliced joints, a tool from Fusion Splicers.
