Overview
The Jonard FOD-2000 Fiber Optic Drop Cable Slitter is designed to simplify the process of accessing fiber or strength members within flat drop cables. This specialized tool enables precise jacket slitting at the cable end or at mid-span locations, significantly reducing preparation time for fiber technicians.
By creating a clean slit on both sides of the cable jacket simultaneously, the tool allows for easy access to internal components without damaging the fibers. Its intuitive design requires minimal effort—technicians simply position the tool around the cable, pull, and slit.
