Description
The Fiber Optic Kevlar Shear from EPCOM is an indispensable tool engineered for telecommunication technicians who demand precision, durability, and safety. This professional-grade shear is specifically designed to cut through the tough Kevlar strength members found in fiber optic cables. Standard scissors or cutters often fail, fraying the fibers and compromising the integrity of the cable termination. Therefore, a specialized tool is not just a convenience but a necessity for ensuring clean, consistent, and reliable network installations. EPCOM has developed this shear to meet the rigorous demands of the field, providing a clean cut every single time.
Features and Benefits of EPCOM’s Fiber Optic Kevlar Shear
Every component of our Kevlar shear is designed with the professional in mind. From the material composition to the blade design, each feature contributes to superior performance and longevity.
Serrated Blade for Unmatched Precision
One of the blades is micro-serrated to securely grip the slippery aramid fibers during the cutting motion. This critical feature prevents the material from sliding, ensuring a clean, sharp cut without fraying or separation. Consequently, cable preparation becomes faster and more efficient, reducing installation time and potential errors.
High-Grade Steel for Lasting Durability
The blades are forged from a high-carbon stainless steel alloy, enriched with Molybdenum and Vanadium. This advanced composition provides an exceptional hardness rating of HRC 60-62. As a result, the cutting edge remains sharp through thousands of cuts, resisting wear and corrosion even in challenging field conditions.
Ergonomic and Lightweight Fiber Optic Kevlar Shear Design
Weighing only 79 grams, this tool is designed for all-day use without causing hand fatigue. The handles are ergonomically shaped and feature a soft, comfortable grip suitable for both left and right-handed users. This focus on user comfort enhances productivity and precision during repetitive tasks.
Applications of the Fiber Optic Kevlar Shear
This versatile tool is a cornerstone for anyone working with modern fiber optic cable structures. Its primary function is to prepare cables for splicing or termination. Key applications include:
- Cutting Kevlar strength members in fiber optic pigtails, patch cords, and trunk cables.
- Use in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the Building (FTTB) installations.
- Essential for data center cable management and network maintenance.
- A critical component of any professional fiber optic installation and repair toolkit.
