Dual Purpose Slitting / Stripping Tool for Military & Commercial Cable
The CPT2 is a Dual Purpose Fiber-Optic Cable Preparation Tool for slitting and/or
stripping. With selected pairs of blades mounted on each side of the moving jaw
- this tool is totally customized to meet the users requirements.
When equipped with slitter blades, the CPT2 easily slices through cable sheath with
no damage to the internal fiber optic cable. The exclusive ball socket joint and
factory-preset blades allow the CPT2 to glide effortlessly along any length of cable
resulting in two precision slits along the cable length.
When outfitted with stripper blades, the CPT2 successfully strips away both the
900µm buffer and 250µm/500µm acrylate in one single action and is robust enough
to remove 3-4cm of hard military tight buffer and acrylate in a single pull.
This method of cable preparation requires minimal time and effort to accomplish.
A simple light pressure engages the slitter blades. A sliding jaw lock is provided
primarily for use with the 900µm buffer stripper, which enables the operator to
close and hold the stripper while preparing to apply additional pressure for pulling
the buffer. This innovative approach to cable preparation saves time, increases
production and is safer than conventional practices. The CPT2 is the ideal tool
for every field technician required to slit and strip fiber optic cable.
Blades
Replacement Blades are factory preset to guarantee trouble-free slitting and stripping.
Every pair of blades is precision machined from Cobalt Tool Steel to yield optimum
results and are easily replaced by the user. Slitter blades have a life expectancy
of >2km and stripper blades are assessed for >10,000 pulls unless excess wear
is caused by abrasive contamination.
Military, Harsh Environment and commercial cables have unique qualities. Therefore,
blades and tools are sold separately. The table below provides the details and specifications
of currently available blades. Contact Luminos to discuss the possibility of custom
blades.
