Overview
The Corning UAT3-000 is a professional-grade universal access tool designed for mid-span entry of single-tube fiber optic cables. It enables technicians to quickly and safely access individual fibers or groups of fibers without disrupting the traffic or continuity of remaining fibers in the cable.
This tool is engineered for cables with an outside diameter ranging from 5 mm to 24 mm. It utilizes a precision drive mechanism and self-centering rollers to maintain consistent scoring depth as the tool is pulled along the cable length. The tool is suitable for field use, allowing for efficient drop cable splicing while preserving the operational integrity of the network.
