The FST-12 Fiber Separation Tool is designed to quickly and reliably separate fiber ribbons into sub-groups or individual fibers. Its ergonomic, hand-held design enables safe, one-handed operation, leaving the other hand free to guide and control the ribbon. This makes it ideal for aerial and remote-site applications such as bucket truck or ladder-sling work, where space is limited and precision is critical. Capable of handling up to 12-fiber ribbons, the FST-12 is a practical and efficient solution for technicians working in the field.
