Overview
The Jonard Tools JIC-180C Ergonomic Fiber Optic Stripper is a precision hand tool designed for fiber optic technicians. It is specifically engineered to strip the 200-micron buffer coating from optical fiber, exposing the 125-micron cladding without causing nicks or damage to the glass surface.
Featuring a factory-preset design that requires no field adjustments, this stripper ensures consistent and reliable performance during fiber preparation. The construction incorporates ground and hardened blades for extended service life and durability in demanding field conditions.
The tool is equipped with ergonomic, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handles, which provide a comfortable grip and reduce operator fatigue during repetitive termination or splicing tasks. It is an ideal addition for any field kit involved in fiber optic installation, maintenance, or repair.
