Three-Hole Fiber Optic Cable Stripper

Transcript:
We designed the Miller CFS3 three-hole stripper with an ergonomic shape, soft handle grips, and spring-loaded handles, which result in a non-fatiguing action. This gives the installer precise control while stripping fiber. An added safety lock allows the tool to be easily stowed when not in use. The tool is made of high-carbon hardened steel with precise tolerance to hole profiles, and every tool is calibrated and preset from the factory. The CFS performs all common fiber stripping functions, removing 1.6 to 3mm jacket, 600 to 900 micron tight buffer, and removing 200 to 250 coating to expose the glass fiber.
To use the Miller CFS3, load the fiber jacket into the first hole and squeeze to cut the jacket. Release the stripper and gently remove the jacket by hand. Ripley offers many different Kevlar shears depending on your need and specific end use. Today, we're using the Miller KS1 to cleanly cut the exposed Kevlar down to the jacket.
Next, place a 600 to 900 micron tight buffer into the second hole. Squeeze the jaws together tightly and push the tool away, and you'll remove the buffer tube coating cleanly. Notice the clean cut transition from the 900 to 250 micron. To finish the strip, place the exposed 250 micron fiber end into the bottom or the third hole. Squeeze the jaws and pull the tool across in a perpendicular action to expose the 125 micron raw glass.
We recommend wiping the fiber with a denatured alcohol wipe or lint-free tissue to remove any loose surface residue. The CFS3 produces a clean and precise strip with no nicks or scratches to the glass fiber. This concludes today's demonstration of the Miller CFS3. No fibers were harmed in the making of this video.
