Overview
The Jonard Tools ST-950 is a precision stripping tool engineered for the accurate removal of buffer coatings on fiber optic cables within the 600 to 1100 micron range. By cleanly removing the outer buffer, it effectively exposes the underlying 250-µm acrylate-coated glass fiber for downstream termination or splicing processes.
Constructed for durability and consistent operation in field environments, the stripper features precision-ground and hardened steel blades. Its compact and lightweight design includes an integrated 2-inch (50 mm) scale with 1 mm graduations and a length stop, allowing technicians to achieve repeatable strip lengths for high-quality fiber preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the ST-950?
The tool is designed to strip buffer coatings from 600 to 1100 micron fiber optic cables to reveal the 250-µm fiber.
Can I set a specific strip length?
Yes, the tool features an integrated length stop and a 2-inch scale to ensure repeatable strip lengths.
Is this suitable for stripping 250-µm fiber?
The ST-950 is designed to strip the buffer coating to expose the 250-µm fiber; it is not intended for stripping the acrylate coating from the 250-µm fiber itself.
How durable are the blades?
The blades are hardened and precision-ground to provide durability and accuracy for professional use.
Is the tool lightweight for field use?
Yes, the tool is compact at 3.88 inches and weighs only 0.05 lb, making it easy to carry.
