FOS03 Fiber strippers remove the coating from the fiber optic cable to expose the glass fiber. Let's explain a little about common layers, and what's important to consider when stripping. Firstly, it is important to consider that when stripping multi-layer cables for connectorization, each layer must usually be stripped individually, as they all usually need to be stripped to different. Fiber strippers are precision tools that reliably and cleanly remove a defined length of coating (often 30–40 mm) from a fiber end so that the bare glass is exposed without scratching or nicking it. Our selection offers powerful, robust devices for single fibers and. Our fiber optic strippers reliably and accurately strip virtually any size buffer from standard and specialty optical fibers.
