Overview
The Jonard Tools MS-836 RocketRibbon Mid Span Slit/Ring Tool is a high-precision instrument engineered for accessing optical ribbon fibers in Corning RocketRibbon cables. This tool enables both longitudinal slitting and radial ringing cuts, allowing technicians to remove the outer cable jacket without compromising the integrity of the delicate ribbon fibers inside.
Equipped with four distinct precision slitting and ringing grooves, the tool covers a cable diameter range of 11.6mm to 22.6mm. Its dual-sided design ensures versatility in the field, while the integrated indicator line on the top of the unit provides visual confirmation of the blade position for accurate cuts, making it ideal for high-density fiber network maintenance and installation.
