Transcript:

Ripleys Miller fiber optic stripper the FO103S is recognized in the industry for its simple, yet very high-quality design. For years it’s been used by many major fiber optic manufacturers, cable companies and installers who desire a high-quality professional-grade tool. It is designed for stripping buffer coating from clad optical fiber and features a unique blade design. Unlike inferior quality tools, the FO103 series of tools encircles the entire perimeter of the glass without damaging the fiber providing clean, consistent stripping action, time and time again.

Insert the fiber into the opening of the FO103. Holding the tool at a slight 30-degree angle to the fiber. Close the tool at the desired strip length and push the tool off the fiber using slight pressure. To complete the preparation, wipe the fiber with denatured alcohol. This will ensure your fiber is free from contamination. The FO103 D 250. Dual hole fiber optic stripper offers the same quality of the FO103S but with a 2nd hole in the jaw of the tool. The first hole strips 900-micron buffer, while the second hole strips 250-micron buffer exposing the 125-micron cladding. The FO103 T 250 J performs all of the common fiber stripping functions for jacketed 3-millimeter single-mode fiber in one compact tool. The first hole removes the 3-millimeter outer jacket. The second hole removes the 900-micron buffer off of the 250-micron buffer. The 3rd hole removes the 250-micron buffer from the 125-micron cladding.
