- Fibre Strippers: Fibre strippers are tools used to remove the protective outer jacket or coating from optical fibres.
- Slitters: Fibre slitters are tools used to cut the outer jacket of fiber optic cables longitudinally, allowing for easy access to the internal components of the cable, such as the optical fibres and any strength members like Kevlar.
- Mid-Span Access Tool: A mid-span access tool is a device used to access and extract a portion of fiber optic cables without cutting the entire cable.
- Insertion Extraction Tool: This tool is used to insert or remove connectors, terminals, or modules from a panel or socket without causing damage.
- Fibre Tube Scorer: A fibre tube scorer is a specialized tool used to make precise and controlled cuts in the buffer tubes of fibre optic cables.
- Riser Breakout Tool: A riser breakout tool is a specialized device used in the preparation and management of riser-rated fibre optic cables. These cables are typically used in vertical spaces, such as between floors in buildings, and are designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke.
- Shears: Shears are heavy-duty scissors used for cutting through thicker cables or materials like Kevlar, insulation, and outer cable jackets.
- Kevlar Cutters: Kevlar cutters are specialized scissors designed to cut through the tough Kevlar strands found in fibre optic cables without dulling quickly.
- Splicer Kit: A splicer kit includes various tools and accessories needed for splicing fibre optic cables, such as splicing machines, cleavers, and holders.
- Splicer Knife: The splicer knife is used to cut or shave off the protective coating of cables, providing clean access for splicing or termination.
- Crimp Tool: Crimp tools are used to attach connectors to cables by compressing the connector onto the exposed conductor or shield, ensuring a secure connection.
- Visual Fault Locator: A visual fault locator is a device that emits visible light to detect breaks or faults in fibre optic cables.
- Dispensing Pump: A dispensing pump is used to apply specific amounts of cleaning solvents or fluids to fibre optic connectors or cable ends.
- Utility Cutter: Utility cutters are versatile cutting tools used for various tasks, including trimming cables, cutting zip ties, and general maintenance work.
- Punch Down Tool: A punch down tool is used to connect wires to a punch-down block, patch panel, or keystone module by inserting and securing the wire.
- Data Cable Stripper: Data cable strippers are designed to remove the outer jacket of data cables like Ethernet or coaxial without damaging the internal wires.
- Steel Tape Remover: Steel tape removers are tools used to remove protective steel tapes from around cables, commonly used in armoured cable applications.
Each tool is specifically designed for a task related to cable preparation, installation, or maintenance, ensuring efficient and accurate work in telecommunications and networking.
