Miller Buffer Coating Strip Tool (140um)

The Ripley^® Miller FO 103-S-140 is a custom, single-hole fiber optic stripper designed to accurately strip coated fiber intended for a 140 µm (0.0055″) fiber outer diameter. It provides technicians a reliable way to work with non-standard fiber diameters without damaging the fiber. The stripping hole and V-opening are manufactured using a wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) process, producing an exact and repeatable blade geometry that closely follows the fiber profile. This precision helps properly prepare the fiber for additional fiber preparation steps.

The tool is factory-set and requires no adjustment. To operate, insert the buffer-coated fiber into the stripping hole, close the tool evenly, and pull along the fiber using light, steady pressure. Its compact design and calibrated hole support consistent, clean fiber stripping in lab, production, or field environments.
