IFO Heavy Duty Fiber Optic Hot Knife - 60 Watt

The Industrial Fiber Optics (IFO) Heavy Duty Fiber Optic Hot Knife is a powerful 60 Watt tool designed for cutting larger diameter fiber and cable in commercial applications.

Using a hot knife to cut plastic optical fiber and cable ends is ideal for many uses because it prevents fracturing or splintering of the fiber. For lighting and model making, a “hot knife” termination often provides a clean, ready-to-use end. When making POF patch cords, the hot knife performs rough cutting before polishing, reducing final polishing time significantly.

Features:

• Commercial-grade durability for years of reliable use
• Quickly heats and maintains a consistent temperature for cutting larger optical fibers, from 1.5 mm up to 9.5 mm in diameter
• A sharpened brass cutting tip can be ground and shaped to fit your specific cutting needs
