Overview
The Jonard Tools JIC-275 Fiber Optic Stripper is a precision manual tool designed for the stripping of optical fiber buffer and coating layers. This 2-hole stripper is engineered to strip 600-900µm buffer coatings in the first hole and 250µm coatings in the second, effectively exposing the 125µm glass fiber for termination or splicing.
Constructed from high-carbon steel, this tool is built for durability and consistent performance in field and laboratory environments. Its ergonomic design includes TPR handles for comfort during repetitive tasks and an angled jaw geometry that guides the fiber into the stripping aperture, minimizing the risk of accidental fiber nicks or scratches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the two different holes?
The first hole is used for removing the 600-900µm buffer, while the second hole is used for stripping the 250µm coating down to the 125µm fiber.
Is this tool adjustable?
No, the JIC-275 is factory-calibrated for precise stripping and does not require field adjustments.
Does the tool include a locking mechanism?
Yes, it features a safety lock to keep the jaws closed during storage.
Can this be used on 125 micron fiber?
Yes, it is designed to strip coatings down to 125 micron glass fiber.
What is the handle material?
The handles are made of Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) for improved comfort and grip.
