Features and Benefits
- Enables separation of groups of fibers or single fibers and is not limited to only
even-numbered groupings. - One-handed operation allows the operator’s other hand to guide and control the ribbon at all times, minimizing the potential for accidental damage to the fibers or ribbon.
- Hand-held method eliminates the need to utilize valuable work surface space
for operation and is the ideal solution for remote-site and aerial operations such
as bucket truck or ladder-sling applications. - Performing two overlapping separations of the ribbon allows any single fiber or any
sub-group of fibers to be extracted from the ribbon, even in mid-span taut-sheath
operations where minimal ribbon length is available. - Standard tool designed for fiber counts up to 12-fiber ribbon.
