Fiber optic stripping tool for technicians

The Cable Prep FOC-200 is a hand tool designed to strip fiber optic cable jackets, buffer tubes and coatings in a single pass. Three precision cutting notches handle cable diameters from 1.6 to 3 mm down to the 125-micron glass fiber. Cushioned grips and a self-lubricating bolt provide smooth, repeatable operation during extended use. The compact, pocket-sized design includes an easy-reach lock that works with one hand.

Suited for field and bench work on loose-tube

Technicians who regularly prepare loose-tube or bonded fiber cables for termination will benefit from the multi-notch stripping range and ergonomic feel. The tool is not intended for users who only need to remove outer jackets on large-diameter cables or who require automated high-volume stripping equipment. Buyers looking for a powered stripper or a tool calibrated for non-standard buffer sizes should consider other options.

Three-notch stripping range from 1.6–3 mm to 125 µm

The defining specification is the three-step cutting profile that strips 1.6–3 mm jackets down to the 600–900 µm buffer tube, then to the 250 µm coating and finally to the 125 µm glass fiber. This range determines whether the tool matches the cable constructions you work with daily.

Questions about this item

Will the FOC-200 strip the 1.6–3 mm jacket on the loose-tube cables I already use?

Yes, the three precision notches are sized for 1.6–3 mm jackets down to the 600–900 micron buffer tube, then the 250 micron coating and the 125 micron glass fiber.

How can I verify the FOC-200 is cutting cleanly after I start using it?

A clean cut leaves the 125 micron glass fiber intact with no nicks; the self-lubricating bolt and positive-action spring keep the jaws aligned so repeated cuts stay consistent.

Does the FOC-200 come with spare blades or a carrying pouch, or do I need to buy them separately?

The tool ships complete with its three built-in cutting notches, cushioned grips, easy-reach lock and spring; no extra blades or pouch are included.
