Fiber Optic Cutter / Stripper / Crimping Tool
This is a JINSHANG TECH POF/HCS field tool for stripping, cleaving, flattening or crimping optical fiber during connector assembly.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the unit as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Certified to Iso9001,RoHS
- Housing/jacket color: Red
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- Hardened cutting/stripping jaw sized for plastic and hard-clad fiber
- Compact hand tool for field service and bench production
- Compatible with common POF/HCS connector kits
- Ratcheting crimp action (crimping pliers) seats connector bodies consistently
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for field termination of POF/HCS connectors and patch cords. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a separate stripper? A: A fiber stripper removes the jacket while protecting the core, whereas a cutter trims the fiber to length — many field kits carry both.
Q: What tool cuts plastic optical fiber? A: A dedicated POF cutter/cleaver gives a clean square end; general wire cutters crush the polymer core and should not be used.
Q: How is cut quality checked? A: A good cleave is flat and perpendicular; the end is then polished with lapping film before mating.
Q: What are crimping pliers for? A: They compress the connector crimp sleeve or ferrule so the connector grips the fiber and jacket with repeatable retention.
