Complete Your Toolkit with EPCOM’s Fiber Optic Solutions
A successful fiber optic installation relies on a suite of specialized tools working in harmony. Once the flat drop cable jacket is removed, other critical preparation steps follow. We recommend complementing your stripper with these essential EPCOM products:
- Cutting Strength Members: After stripping the jacket, you’ll encounter aramid yarn or other strength members. For a clean and safe cut without damaging the delicate fiber, our Fiber Optic Kevlar Shear is the ideal tool. Its serrated blades grip and cut through tough materials effortlessly.
- Achieving the Perfect Cut: For fusion splicing or mechanical connectorization, an immaculate fiber end-face is non-negotiable. The High-Precision Fiber Cleaver provides a perfectly flat, perpendicular cut every single time, which is fundamental for minimizing signal loss.
- Ensuring Pristine Connections: Contamination is the enemy of any fiber optic link. Before making a final connection, ensure all connector end-faces are spotless with our Optical Fiber Cleaning Stick. These tools are designed to remove dust and oils from hard-to-reach areas without leaving residue.
