With the rapid development of telecommunications, Internet of Things, 5G technology, etc., the work of optical cable construction and maintenance in the optical communication industry has gradually increased, prompting an increase in the demand for various optical fiber tools. Common optical fiber tools on the market include optical fiber strippers. , optical cable strippers, optical cable cutting shears, etc., there are many types, and the uses of various tools are also different. Are you really familiar with them? Do you know when to use which fiber optic tools? 1. Fiber optic tools: Fiber stripper Fiber stripper is a fiber tool used to strip tight-packed optical fibers. It is generally used to strip tight-packed optical fibers when splicing optical fibers.
There are three common types of fiber optic cable strippers on the market today: the first is the FTTH fiber optic cable stripper, the second is the three-hole fiber optic stripper, and the third is the CFS-2 fiber optic stripper. Wire pliers; FTTH optical cable stripping pliers, as the name suggests, are fiber optic stripping pliers specially used for FTTH fiber to the home. They are small in size, light in weight, simple to operate, flat incision, and easy to carry; the three-hole fiber optic cable stripping pliers adopt three-hole segmentation Type stripping design, can be used without adjustment, and can quickly and accurately strip 2-3mm, 900μm to 250μm and 250μm to 125μm optical fibers without damaging the optical fiber; CFS-2 optical fiber stripper is used for Strip the 250μm coating of the 125μm fiber, while the second hole peels off the outer sheath of the pigtail.
2. Optical fiber cable cutting shears. Optical fiber cutting shears are fiber optic tools used to cut aramid filaments in optical cables. The blades are made of high carbon steel, which is sharp and tough and can be cut easily. Cutting aramid filaments in optical cables is generally used in optical cable welding work, and is used in conjunction with fiber optic strippers or fiber optic strippers. So how to use optical cable cutting shears to cut aramid filaments? It only takes three steps: first, use optical fiber strippers to peel off the outer sheath of the optical fiber; then remove the stripped outer sheath of the optical fiber; and finally, use optical cable cutting scissors to cut off the exposed aramid wire.
3. Optical fiber tool: optical cable stripper. The optical cable stripper is an optical fiber tool that can cut longitudinally and circumferentially the insulation layer of a round cable with a diameter greater than or equal to 25mm. Because the optical cable stripper can completely peel off various insulation layers (such as cable outer sheath, optical cable loose tube, etc.), and its cutting depth is adjustable, the cutting depth can be up to 5mm. It can generally be used for communication cables, low-voltage cables (PVC insulation layer), medium-voltage cables (PVC insulation layer) or Cutting of the insulation layer of optical cables and other circular optical cables.
The specific cutting method is as follows: the operator holds the cable with one hand and presses the optical cable stripper with his thumb at the same time. The other hand holds the handle of the optical cable stripper and uses the thumb as a guide to move in any direction. Cut in the directionJust cut it.
