Overview
The Fujikura RS03 is an advanced thermal fiber stripper designed for high-precision ribbon fiber preparation. By utilizing a controlled heating element, it effectively softens the fiber coating, enabling smooth and rapid stripping of up to 35 mm of coating without damaging the glass. This tool is optimized for field technicians and data center operators who require consistent, high-quality results when preparing ribbon fibers for fusion splicing.
Engineered for versatility, the RS03 includes an integrated, high-capacity lithium-ion battery capable of supporting 600 stripping cycles on a single charge. Its Bluetooth connectivity allows for streamlined interaction with compatible smartphones (Android 5.0+ or iOS 8.0+), providing users with easy access to temperature settings and operational configurations to suit various fiber types and environmental conditions.
